Floor Standing Electric Fire

The floor-standing electric fireplace is a type of fireplace that sits on the ground instead of being constructed into a brick wall. They all give the illusion of flames, while also producing heat and they can be used with a log or coal effect fuel bed, or a modern pebble effect.

white freestanding electric fire fireplacesandstove include the option of a remote control that allows you to alter the settings from an extended distance. They are CSA-certified and safe for use with children in the room.

Features

Freestanding electric fires provide traditional style that can elevate the look of any room. They take up minimal space and are easily installed. There are a variety of styles to choose from, with the majority featuring black surrounds to create a striking effect. Choose a log, coal or pebble-effect fuel bed for an authentic experience.

Alternately, you can opt for a built-in electric fire that can be integrated into your fireplace mantel. They offer a more durable alternative to wall-mounted models and also allow for additional storage furniture like credenzas or sideboards to be placed underneath the fireplace. They come in a variety of finishes to match any decor, and some have the option of a glass panel or mirrored finish for a more modern appearance.

Electric inserts are the perfect option to improve any interior design without spending a large amount of money. They're also a great method to achieve a more energy-efficient heating system since they don't require any chimney or vents, instead plugging directly into the wall for a heat output of up to 4700 BTUs.

Installation

A freestanding electric fireplace is a great option for those looking to create a fireplace without a chimney. Direct Fireplaces has a wide choice of electric fireplaces that can be used to warm your living room or to add a warm touch to your guest room.

We offer a variety of traditional and contemporary electric fires from leading brands, including Be Modern, Dimplex and Celsi. All of our products come with a comprehensive warranty and finance is available.

With a wide range of finishes and sizes available you're bound to find the perfect electric fireplace for your home. We also have a broad assortment of accessories, including hearths and back panels, so you can customize your fireplace.





Wall-mounted electric fires are becoming increasingly popular as a flexible and easy method of adding an attractive addition to your home. As they don't require a flue or chimney, installing them is quite simple but it's essential to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and have a few essential tools in your arsenal.

Depending on the model you pick You may need to drill holes into your wall and then fix a wall bracket into place. It's a good idea use a spirit level and an stud finder prior to drilling to ensure you're not drilling into anything that could be of importance.

After you have installed the wall bracket, it's time to put in your fire. You can either place the fire inside the firebox and then secure it to the bracket or you can install the firebox together with the screen as a whole unit. If you're not confident doing this by yourself We suggest you hire an electrician to do it for you.

When you're finished, you can relax and enjoy your new flame! Be sure to connect your electric fire to a dedicated power socket rather than using an extension cable. This will ensure that your fire is secure and will help prevent any issues with your electricity supply in the future.

Flames

Freestanding electric fires come with a range of flame options to fit your personal style. Some electric fires employ an organic mixture of chemicals that is produced by one point and does not have the chaotic appearance of wood log flames. Others are based on LED technology, which creates realistic flames and are unpredictable. MagikFlame's Hybrid FX technology provides an immersive experience by cycling the flames, accent lighting and ember bed through a rainbow-like spectrum of colors.

For even more flexibility, many models are available in right-corner, left-corner or three-sided bay designs to accommodate different installations. There are also wall-mounted models that are single-sided and work well as electric fireplaces that are either partially or completely recessed. They are ideal for installation that is quick and simple.

Fuel bed

The fuel bed is the flammable material that surrounds the flames of a floor-standing electric fire, and is responsible to the combustion. The fuel bed is made up of a range of different materials such as log effect or real coals that can be adjusted to fit your decor. A variety of factors affect the fuel bed such as its size, shape and structure, which can greatly affect the combustion of the flames.

Anderson (1964), in a study on pine needle fuel beds, discovered that fire spread rates were independent of fuel depth above the threshold of 0.0762m (with positive correlation below this threshold depth). This observation is in line with earlier observations made by Catchpole and other researchers, and also observations from the vast field of fire behavior studies that Rothermel is the leader of.

However the structure of natural fuel beds in wildland habitats is extremely complex and their characteristics change significantly over time and space. Fuel Characteristic Classification System was designed to recognize this diversity and to determine the potential impact of fuelbeds on fire behavior. Fuelbeds classified by FCCS are grouped into six strata which include shrubs nonwoody, canopy fuels that are woody, litter-lichen-moss. The resulting attributes summarized by the Consume 4.2 calculator embedded within the FFT software are helpful to map fuelbeds and could be used as inputs to models for prediction of fire behaviour.

A dimension analysis of each of the six types of fuelbed was performed to correlate the rate of spread of fire in windy and non-windy conditions. This led to the creation of dimensionless groups based on each of the variables: dimensionless spread rate, dimensionless fuel particle sizes and moisture content, dimensions dimensionless fuel bed density or fuel loading density, and dimensions dimensionless wind speed. The dimensionless correlations that were derived from the groups produced correlated the rate at which fire spread with wind and no-wind situations fairly reliably. However it is important to remember that these correlations were based upon experimental data that only covered the smallest portion of the natural fuel types that are found in wildland environments.
