Inset vs. wall-hung
Inset and wall-mounted media wall electric fireplaces are the two main styles. Inset models such as the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are built into walls with a flush-finish that blends seamlessly into the walls surrounding it. Inset electric fireplaces are more costly and require an opening already in place.
The best media wall electric fires are wall-hung, including the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL. As they're not installed into the wall, they don't require an opening that already exists and are relatively cheap to put up. Certain models are available in a variety of finishes and trims which can be customised to your decor. However wall-hung models are able to be a little slender from the wall, which means they might not be suitable for every room. media wall and fireplace can hinder the circulation of air in smaller spaces because they'll probably radiate heat upwards instead of across the space.

Modern fires come with a variety of new features to add value to your home, such as an exclusive flame effect that saves energy and the ability to blow cool air which is ideal for hot summer nights.
A media wall is an area that is dedicated to your entertainment system. It could be the TV, sound system or other equipment that you regularly use. This type of space is a modern response to the entertainment centres of the past. They can offer a sleek, organised aesthetic while also making floor space available in the room.
The majority of modern electric fires for media walls are fixed to the wall and can be either freestanding or inset depending on the style you select. Inset fires are designed to be inserted partially in a fireplace opening. This makes them easier to install, and they can look more integrated into your living space. Freestanding fires such as the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are great for those who do not have a fireplace recess. They can be moved between rooms for flexibility.
No matter what method of installation you decide to use, always put the fire near the power outlet to ensure that you are able to connect the device to test it before installing. In accordance with the guidelines, you'll need to keep the fire away from flammable materials.
Remember that most electric fireplaces for wall use provide a low output of heat and should be used to supplement your central heating system. They are not suited for heating large spaces, and can only warm up a room. Some models come with a convenient remote control with several different settings for heating and backlighting to suit your mood and ambience.
