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

A fireplace that is mounted on the wall can be a stunning focal point for any living space. Whether hung above the couch or in the sitting area it will create a cozy space for your family as well as guests.

Some models can be partially built into the wall for an aesthetically pleasing appearance. This is more work, and some DIYers may need to venture outside their comfortable zones.

Height

Deciding on the ideal height for a wall fireplace is among the most important decisions that must be made when constructing an entirely new media wall. While the fireplace must be low enough to be observed from all places of seating, it should also be high enough to generate enough heat for an inviting living space.

When deciding on the height of a wall mount fire it is essential to think about the quantity of heat it creates, how close to the floor it will be, and what else may be mounted over it. If a gas or electrical fireplace is too low, the heat it emits will quickly dissipate and combustible objects are able to easily ignite. This could lead to a house fire, and the performance of the fireplace will be significantly diminished.

To avoid this, choose a fireplace with a low opening for the fireplace or a chimney venting system that is high. This will ensure that the heat is efficiently and safely dissipated.

Another consideration is how the room will be used. If the room will be used primarily for relaxing, socialising and watching television, a taller fireplace is a good choice. If it will be used to heat your home, a lower fireplace is better.

Most people prefer to put the fireplace at eye level when they are sitting in the chair. This is about 40-42 inches above the floor. However, some prefer to place their fireplace under a TV and this can work well too, providing that the TV is not too close to the heater or it could be damaged by the heat.

Depending on the type of fireplace, it could be beneficial to think about what kind of storage might be required above the fireplace insert. If you have an electric fireplace, it might be beneficial to install an endboard or credenza above the fireplace to keep the fireplace's surface clean. This can create an airy, modern look. It also makes the wood fireplace appear larger.

Depending on the model of fireplace you select The fireplace might need to be attached directly to the wall studs or to a bracket already installed 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, attach the bracket to the wall with screws and wall board toggle-bolt anchors. Make sure that the bracket is attached to at least two studs and use a stud finder to determine the locations at which you'll need to attach a screw.

Once the bracket is installed, attach the fireplace using the tabs at the bottom of the fireplace and the hooks on the top of the bracket. Follow the directions in the owner's manual, if your model comes with a front-glass panel that has to be removed prior to installation.

First, you'll need to put the frame of your electric fireplace in the appropriate spot on the wall. Then, it can be attached to the bracket. After that, you can either drill holes for the mounting bracket, or smooth any rough areas of the wall.
