A Media Wall and Fireplace For Your Home

A media wall with a fireplace can make a statement in any home. It's not hard to build one, and you can personalize it with shelving that holds DVDs, games or books.

If you do not have a chimney breast or chimney, a false chimney could easily be built with a stud wall. Media walls can also house electric fires.

Electric fires

Electric fires work well with media walls to create a cozy centerpiece for any room. They make use of the latest LED flame images to create a stunningly realistic effect that combines an image of an open flame with flickering light projection. The images are projected onto an inset glass screen that can be framed by your choice of surround and frame, allowing you to add an elegant or traditional look to your room.

Electric fires are a great alternative for a media wall since they don't create combustion by-products that would need to be vented through a chimney. They generate heat and flames with electricity that are easier to control than wood-burning fires. They are also a convenient and safe heating option for homes that don't have chimneys or flues.

Although electrical fires are uncommon, it is vital to watch out for signs of a possible issue. If your switch plates and outlet covers feel warm to the touch it could indicate that there is too many heating buildups in the wiring. This could cause an electrical fire. Other warning signs include burning smells and flickering lights, which can occur when there is too much current flowing through the system.

Another way to prevent an electrical fire is to ensure that your home has sufficient insulation, which can reduce the possibility of overheating and a fire bursting out. Avoid overloading circuits and outlets as this can also cause fires.

If you're considering installing an electric fireplace on your wall for entertainment it is recommended to work with an experienced installation service. This will ensure that the proper safety regulations are adhered to and that the fireplace is installed correctly.

Electric fireplaces with built-in features, such as the Ezee Glow Zara Black Wall Mounted Electric Fire can be installed in the structure. This means that the wires and sockets are tucked away and the appearance is neat and tidy.

Gas fires

Media walls are an increasingly popular design trend in modern interior design. It combines the TV and surround sound system, shelving and fireplace into one seamless installation. It's an excellent way to maximize your living space and make the most of your home's natural light and air circulation. There are many things to consider prior to making the decision to install the media fireplace and wall.

The first thing you should consider is what kind of fireplace you'd like to have for your media wall. There are many options depending on your budget and style. Consider a gas fireplace concealed that is flush against the wall to create a minimalist look. This type of fireplace is also very efficient, and can help lower your energy costs.

To create a more aesthetically pleasing appearance, there is a range of freestanding media wall gas fires that can add a touch of glamour to your home. These fires make a fantastic focal point for any room. They can be constructed to have different surrounds like wood or marble. They are also great for a three-sided media wall as they make a stunning focal point and are incredibly versatile.

Another option is a hole in the wall gas fireplace that sits in a straight line with the wall's front. These fireplaces are ideal to create an elegant, smooth finish and are available in a wide range of different designs. Some include a variety of fuel beds that include faux woodland logs or imitation silver birch. Some of these models also have a remote control or app control which makes them the ultimate in media wall comfort.

When selecting a gas fire for your media wall, you need to ensure that the style matches the overall feel of your home. For example, if you're seeking a minimalist, modern design, go for an elegant gas fire that fits with your decor and complements the size of your television.

Installation

Media walls are a popular addition to homes that combine a flatscreen television and an electric fireplace to create stunning, eye-catching design element. They can be incorporated into new homes or fitted into existing fireplace recesses. However, there are few considerations before you get started.





It's important to first consider the way you'll build your media wall. One of the most important things is deciding if you're going to use a hole-in-wall or build an e-stud wall to house your TV and fire. This will have a major impact on the final appearance and price therefore it's important to take your time when making this decision.

Once you've decided on the design of your media wall, you're now ready to start putting the plans into action. If you plan to put a hole in the wall, you will have to frame the opening using plasterboard. Once the wall is ready to accommodate your fireplace and TV it is necessary to put in mounting brackets. They can be purchased on the internet or at an DIY store. They're fairly easy to put in. You can also choose to insert your TV and fire into the wall studs, which is known as a built-in fireplace or recessed TV. This is more expensive but it provides your media wall a sleeker look and keeps electrical wires hidden.

It is crucial to select the correct model for your media wall, especially if you intend to install a built-in fireplace. For example, the Ellere Electriflame VR Volare 1100 provides the option of a 1, 2, or 3-sided fitting, that can be customized to match your home. This makes it suitable for modern homes which often lack chimney breasts.

The best way to determine the ideal model for your home is to measure the space and compare your measurements with the specifications of the product. This will help you determine the size of the electric fire that is appropriate for your media wall, and ensure that it is safe to operate. You can also select a smart fire with app integration that allows you to control the flame effect and heat output using tablets or smartphones. A lot of smart models come with the ability to schedule, so you can program the fire to start before you arrive home and then shut off at time of bed.

Maintenance

If you're considering the installation of a media wall and fireplace for your home, there are some important details to keep in mind. A media wall is a false wall that is constructed into the room to house your flat screen TV as well as other items such as satellite boxes, hi-fi systems and games consoles. It can be used to conceal power cords, which can help create a neat and tidy look.

Whether you choose gas or electric fire installation, a media wall will require regular maintenance to ensure its safe and efficient operation. Examine the fireplace's cladding and gaskets, as well as its ports, and ensure that there is enough clearance from any flammable objects. It's a good idea install smoke and carbon monoxide alarms installed at your residence for additional peace of mind, too.

One benefit of walls with electric media is that they're easier to maintain than traditional fireplaces. Generally, these will only require a few times a week of wiping with a soft microfibre fabric. Gas media walls can be more difficult to maintain and should be checked regularly for signs of wear.

There are two types of media wall fireplaces: wall-mounted or hole-in-the wall. The former is built into the wall to give it a sleek appearance, while the latter sits against the wall and is secured with a bracket (similar to how TVs are attached to their walls).

Modern electronic media walls come with options like customizable flame colors and remote control operation and integration with smart home technologies. Some models allow you to switch the flame on and off with a voice command! These convenient extras can make your home more efficient and comfortable. They also create an accent that will increase the value of your property.
