Choosing an Electric Fire for Your Media Wall

An integrated electric fire is one of the most popular additions to a media wall, but there are several things worth considering before choosing one for your project.

Flame effect and style

Electric fires are available with a range of flame effects, from realistic log-burner styles to more contemporary linear flame displays. The right choice depends on the overall style of your media wall and living room.

Size and position

The fire needs to be sized correctly for the media wall and positioned at a sensible height, taking into account the television above it and the seating layout of the room. This is planned as part of the overall media wall design rather than added as an afterthought.

Heat output and everyday use

Some electric fires are designed primarily for visual effect with lower heat output, while others provide a genuine secondary heat source for the room. It's worth thinking about how you intend to use the fire before deciding which type suits your household.

No chimney or flue required

Unlike a traditional fireplace, an electric fire does not need a chimney or flue, which makes it possible to install in a wide range of homes without structural work.
