The Best Electric Fires For Media Walls
Electric fires are a great option to provide warmth, ambience, and a focal piece to your wall. The majority of them use LED lights to produce stunning flame effects, while also having a lower heat output than traditional fireplaces.
They also have features such as open windows detection, ambient lighting kits and music synchronization.

Inset vs wall-hung
Wall-mounted and inset wall-mounted electric fireplaces are the two most popular types. Inset models, such as the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are built into the wall and provide an elegant flush finish, blends into the surrounding walls to create a neat appearance. Inset electric fireplaces are more costly and require an existing opening.
The most efficient electric media wall fires like the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3, are wall-hung. Because they aren't installed into the wall, they don't require an opening in the wall and are relatively cheap to set up. They can be more versatile than inset electric fires, with some models offering a wide range of different designs and trims to fit your style. Wall-mounted models can still protrude from the wall and may not work for all styles of rooms. They can also hinder the circulation of air in smaller spaces, as they'll likely disperse the heat upwards rather than across the space.

A media wall is a space that is dedicated to your entertainment setup. It could be a TV, sound system or other gadgets that you frequently use. This is a modern take on the old entertainment centres and can offer a sleek, organized aesthetic while freeing up space in the room.
Modern electric fires can be positioned on the wall, and depending on the style, they can be freestanding or inset. Inset fires are designed to be inserted into the fireplace opening which makes it much easier to install and can look more unified in your living spaces. Freestanding fires like the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are great for those without fireplace recesses and can be moved from room to room for flexibility.
Whatever method of installation you decide to use, ensure that the fire is situated close to a power socket so that you can plug it in and test its functions prior to installing. According to the guidelines, you'll need to keep the fire away from any combustible materials.
Remember that most electric fireplaces designed for media wall provide a low output of heat and are best utilized to complement your central heating system. They are not suitable to heat large open spaces, and are able to only warm a room. Some models include a handy remote that has multiple heating settings and backlighting options to match your mood or ambience.
