How to Choose the Right Height for an on the Wall Fireplace

A fireplace that is mounted on the wall can be an elegant focal element in any living room. It can be put up above the couch or the sitting area to create a cozy and warm space for your family and guests.

Some models can be partially built into the wall for an integrated look. However, this requires more work and could require some DIYers to leave their comfort zone.

Height

When installing a media wall, choosing the right height of an on-wall fireplace is a crucial decision. The fireplace should be low so that it can be easily seen from a variety of places of seating. However, it should be high enough so that it will provide enough warmth to keep your home warm.

When deciding on a height for a wall-mounted fireplace it is essential to consider the amount of heat it produces, how close to the floor it will be, and what else can be placed above it. If the height of a gas or electric fireplace is too low, the heat it emits will be dissipated quickly and combustible items are able to easily ignite. This could cause a fire in the house and decrease the efficiency of the fireplace.

To avoid this, select a fireplace electric that has a narrow opening for the firebox or a chimney venting system that is high. This will ensure that the heat is dissipated safely and efficiently.

A second consideration is how the room will be utilized. If the space is mostly used for socialising, relaxing and watching television, a taller fireplace is a great choice. However, if it's intended to be utilized as an additional source of heat then a lower fireplace will be more appropriate.

Most people prefer to mount the fireplace at eye-level while they are sitting in a chair. This is roughly 40-42 inches above the floor. Some prefer to mount their fireplace underneath televisions and this could be a good option, provided that the TV is not too close to the heater or it could suffer damage from the heat.

It is also important to think about the kind of fireplace you have and the storage space that will be required above it. If you have an electric fireplace, it may be useful to install an endboard or credenza above the fireplace to keep the fireplace's surface clean. This can help to create an open and sleek look and can make the fireplace appear bigger too.

Installation

A fireplace that is mounted on the wall is a fantastic addition to a wall of media. It's a great option for homeowners who prefer an elegant look that's more in line with the structure of the wall and it's easier to install than a built-in fireplace.

Begin by selecting a place that lets you move freely around the fireplace. Also, ensure that there are no combustible items in the vicinity. Then, take a measurement of the length of your wall and make sure that it's large enough to accommodate an existing fireplace that's at least 40-42" in height. It's also an ideal idea to have someone help with the installation of your fireplace, because it can be heavy.

Depending on the type of fireplace you select it could need to be fixed directly to the wall or attached to a bracket that is mounted on the wall. Refer to the owner's manual for instructions on how to set up a direct-to wall model. For a bracket-mounted model, fix the bracket to the wall using screws and wall board toggle-bolt anchors. Utilize a stud-finder to determine the screw locations.

Once you've positioned the bracket, mount the fireplace onto it using the tabs on the bottom of the fireplace and the hooks on the top of the bracket. Follow the instructions in the owner’s manual in the event that your fireplace has a front-glass panel that needs to be removed prior to installation.

If you're installing an electric built-in fireplace, you'll need set up the frame of the firebox in the appropriate space on your wall before it can be attached to the bracket. After you've completed this you'll need to drill holes for the mounting bracket and sand any rough areas of the wall.

After you've drilled the holes, insert the rawl plugs and then screw in the mounting bracket. Some models of wall-mounted fireplaces include hooks or slots on the back and you can put the hooks on the back of the fireplace into slots on the bracket for mounting.

Safety

Also, make sure to turn off the fireplace prior to going to bed or leaving the house.

Make sure to check the areas of heat in the TV and Fireplace stove if you plan to use a TV over the fireplace. The weight of the television can put pressure on the fireplace, causing it to collapse, possibly causing injury you or other family members.

Electric and ethanol fire wall fire places can generate high levels of heat that can burn you. You should consider installing a screen that is safe to touch to your fireplace if you have children who are small. This will help protect them from getting burned. This screen will remain at a lower temperature when the fireplace is on and won't burn anyone who touches.

Style

A wall-mounted fire place is among the most sought-after elements that can be incorporated into a media wall. It is typically installed beneath the flat-screen TV, and it is important that the fireplace meets certain installation requirements. It is important to consider not only the height of the fireplace, but also the amount of heat it generates. A fireplace that is mounted on the wall will generally blow heat out of the vent at the front, whereas the fireplace that is surface mounted might emit heat from the top or the bottom. For a media wall it is a common practice to mount a fireplace recessed at a height of between 40 and 42 inches above the floor. This allows you to view it from a sitting position.

Although it is possible to find a wall-mounted electric fireplace in a variety of styles however, it is best to match the style of the fireplace with the overall design of the room. This will ensure that the media wall flows well and is well-integrated. Amantii, Dimplex and other companies offer a wide range of wall-mounted electric fire places. Both brands are renowned for their quality and are quick to respond to feedback from customers on ways to improve the products.

Another factor to consider when building a media wall is whether the room will be used to house a TV or other electronic devices. Some people prefer to use the recessed fireplace as an entertainment center, while others may want to have a combination of both television and a wall-mounted fireplace. Picking a media wall that can accommodate both will be more convenient and more efficient.

The primary drawback of a wall-mounted electric fireplace is that they tend to feel more durable. It is possible to move the appliance from one location to another but this will require the mounting brackets to be reinstalled. It's also not as simple to mount a television or other components on the wall when the fireplace is in a wall stud.
