Inset vs. wall-hung
Media wall electric fires are offered in two basic styles: inset and wall-mounted. Inset models like the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are built into walls with a flush-finish that blends seamlessly with walls surrounding it. However, inset electric fireplaces require a pre-existing opening and can be a bit more expensive than their free-standing counterparts.
The most effective media wall electric fires are wall-hung, such as the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL. Since they don't sit inset into the wall, they don't require an opening in the wall and are comparatively inexpensive to install. They can be more versatile than inset electric fireplaces, with some models offering a wide range of different designs and trims to fit your decor. Wall-mounted models are still able to protrude from the wall and may not be suitable for all rooms. They can also hinder the circulation of air in smaller rooms because they'll likely radiate heat upwards rather than across the room.

Most modern electric fires for media walls are affixed to the wall and can be either freestanding or inset depending on the style you select. Inset fires are designed to be inserted partially into the opening of a fireplace making it simpler to install and looks more integrated in your living spaces. Freestanding fires like the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are ideal for those who don't have a fireplace recess and can be moved from room to room for flexibility.
Whatever method of installation you decide to use, always place the fire near the power outlet to ensure that you are able to connect the device and test it prior to fitting. In accordance with the guidelines, you'll need to place the fire away from combustible materials.
