The Best Electric Fires For Media Walls
If you're looking for a way to bring warmth, atmosphere and a focal point for your media wall, then look no further than an electric fireplace. The majority of them use LED lights to create stunning flame effects, while also producing less heat than traditional fireplaces.
They also have features such as open window detection and ambient light kits that can sync with your music to create a stunning visual experience.
1. British Fires New Forest 1600
Designed to take LED flame visuals and fuel bed technology to the next level, this fireplace offers an amazing display of flames that encircle the whole fire. This focal point will transform your home with its rich, authentic flame colours. They capture the nuances of an individual log from the New Forest National Park. The logs are made to the highest quality and rest comfortably on top of husks and wood chips that create a warm and earthy atmosphere.
The air-curtain's patented technology is designed to distribute heat across your room effectively. Electric fires are a superior alternative to gas fires that typically require an open chimney for operation. They emit no carbon monoxide or smoke, and are also more eco-friendly.
This gorgeous fireplace can be upgraded to include an optional black trim and a front glass that is anti-reflective. Deluxe real logs may be added. This electric fire is available in a variety of designs that include corner, flush, and 3-sided.
This fireplace is perfect for a media wall. Its small dimensions for framing allow you to install it into a pre-built mock wall or you can skip the fireplace entirely and install it directly on the wall with an optional wall mount kit.
This electric fire was inspired by the natural beauty in the New Forest of Hampshire. The custom-designed logs are meticulously crafted to the highest quality and capture every aspect of a log that would be found in the New Forest National Park. The LED flame visuals are set against the background of wood chips and husks to create a genuine woodland scene that is both cozy and modern.
2. Elgin & Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL
Designed to allow for an 1, 2, or 3 sided installation right out of the box, this stunning electric fire that is a hole-in-the-wall is guaranteed to captivate and amaze. It's the perfect centerpiece for any media wall, with stunning multi LED effect fuel bed that comes in 13 colours, as well as a rotation setting. The heater is discrete and provides an incredibly warm 1.5kW of heat that can be controlled by a seven-day thermostat control that can be programmed to adjust flame settings and fuel bed colour.
The best media wall electric fireplaces are not only visually stunning, but they're also eco-friendly. They use less energy and can save money by reducing the heat output to just the amount you require. The 'flame-only' setting allows you to experience the hypnotic dance of the flames without having to increase the heat. This is perfect for rooms that have low or no need for heating.
Inset vs. wall-hung
Wall-mounted and inset wall-mounted electric fireplaces are two of the most popular designs. Inset models, like the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are built into the wall. They offer a smooth finish, blending in with the wall to create a neat appearance. However, inset electric fires require a pre-existing opening and are a little more expensive than their free-standing counterparts.
The best media wall electric fires are wall-hung, such as the Hall & Elgin Pryzm Arteon 3SL. They are easy to install and don't require an opening in the wall as they aren't recessed into the wall. They are more adaptable than inset electric fires, with some models offering a wide range of different finishes and trims to match your decor. Wall-mounted models are still able to protrude from the wall and may not work for all styles of rooms. They can also hinder the circulation of air in smaller rooms because they'll likely radiate heat upwards rather than across the space.
3. Vision Futura 1500
Electric fires can be the perfect finish for a media wall. They create an element of interest that is mesmerising and enjoyable to be in front of. These modern fires are brimming with cutting-edge features that will enhance your home. They include a flame-effect-only setting which saves energy, and a cooling option for cool summer nights.
A media wall is an space for your entertainment setup, usually equipped with a TV and a sound system, but could also contain gaming consoles or other devices that you regularly use. This kind of space is a modern response to the entertainment centers of the past and can provide a sleek, organized look while freeing up floor space in the room.
The majority of modern electric fires for media walls are affixed to the wall and are either inset or freestanding depending on the design you choose. Inset fires are designed to be partially inserted into a fireplace opening. This makes them simpler to install, and they can look more integrated into your living space. Freestanding fires like the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are great for those without fireplace recesses and can be moved between rooms to allow for greater flexibility.
No matter which installation method you choose, you should always put the fire in proximity to a power socket to ensure you can connect the device to test it prior to fitting. You should also ensure that you place the fire away from combustible substances, as per the regulations.
Remember that the majority of electric fireplaces designed for media wall have a limited output of heat and are best used in conjunction with your central heating system. They're not suitable for heating large spaces that are open and can only take the edge off an icy room. Some models come with a handy remote that has multiple heating settings and backlighting options to suit your mood or ambience.
4. Evonic Halo 1500 XT
For those with limited space for a freestanding fireplace media wall electric fires are a fantastic alternative. Rather than having to lug in logs or mess with gas lines they are powered by electricity, delivering an amazing display of flames that can be controlled from the comfort of your couch. They usually produce just enough warmth to take the edge off a chilly room and make it more comfortable.
A wide variety of sizes are available with these fires, so you can pick a fire that will fit perfectly on your wall. Certain models can be hung directly to the wall, while others are designed to fit in a recess or cavity. Inset models also offer better heat distribution, as they're not obstructed by a chimney.
If you select a front-mounted Evonic Halo 1500 XT model (formerly Lita), it features an extended flame image to give visual depth and increase its aesthetic appeal. The range's smart integration is another benefit that lets you control the fire from your smartphone or tablet through an app. This is a great feature if you're out and about or away from home, allowing to save energy when the fire isn't in use.
