If you’re planning to install a TV wall in your living room, you’re probably shopping around for wall mounted electric fires to provide the perfect focal point to sit beneath your television.
Wall mounted electric fires is a catch-all terms that covers wall hung electric fires, which are hung on the wall, and built-in electric fires, which are recessed within the wall. In either of these scenarios, wall mounted electric fires will give you the triple advantage of:
- Creating an attractive centrepiece in your room.
- Providing a source of heat at the click of a button.
- Not taking up any additional floor space.
A combination of those benefits and the soaring popularity of TV walls in living rooms across the UK means that wall mounted electric fires are very much in demand at the moment.
Choosing between different wall mounted fires
Finding the right wall mounted fire for your room will depend on a few different factors.
Firstly, what style of fire do you want? The prevailing trend is towards modern, panoramic fires, which often mirror TVs in styling. You’ll still find lots of variety, plus other styles of wall mounted electric fires, too.
What size of electric fire do you want? Do you want your wall mounted electric fire to match your TV for width? Do you want it to be wider than the TV? Or do you want the fire to run the full width of your media wall? It’s worth considering how the size of your fire will impact on your wall’s appearance.
What sort of flame effect would you like? Does it need to be realistic, eye-catching or a combination of the two? Does the choice of flame colours matter to you and, if so, which colours would you like?
What features would be helpful? Does the fire you’ve got in mind come with a remote control? Can you use the flame effect independently of the heater? Can you set the heater to come on at a time of your choosing?
How much heat output is needed? The heat output of electric fires does not vary significantly, but you still need to make sure the fire you choose will provide enough warmth. Electric fire heat outputs are typically between 1kW and 2kW, so opt for the higher end of that spectrum if you have a large room.
