A The Complete Guide To Floor Standing Electric Fire From Start To Finish

Floor Standing Electric Fire

The floor-standing electric fireplace is one that sits on the ground instead of being built into brick walls. They all give the appearance of flame while producing heat and they can be utilized with a coal or log effect fuel bed, or a modern pebble effect.

Some models come with the option of a remote control that allows you to alter the settings from a distance. They are certified by the CSA and are safe for use with children in the room.

Features

Freestanding electric fires provide a traditional aesthetic that can enhance the appearance of any room. They require little space and are easily installed. There are a variety of styles to choose from and most of them feature black surrounds to create a stunning effect. Select a coal, log or pebble effect fuel bed to get an authentic feel.

You can also choose to incorporate an electric fire into your fireplace mantel. They are a much more durable option than wall-mounted units and allow you to place additional furniture to store your items below the unit, for example sideboard cabinets or credenzas. They are available in a variety of designs that can be matched to any style. Some even come with a mirrored or glass panel finish for a modern style.

Designed to fit into the fireplace you already have An electric insert is the ideal way to update your home's design without spending too much money. They're also a great method to create a more efficient heating system since they don't require any chimney or vents and instead plug directly into the wall to provide a heat output of up to 4700 BTUs.

Installation

If you're looking for a chic economical and affordable method to add a fireplace your home without the necessity of a chimney or flue, a freestanding electric fire is a great option. Direct Fireplaces offers a broad selection of electric fires that can be used to warm your living room or to add a warm touch to your guest room.

We have a variety of electric fires both modern and traditional, from leading brands like Be Modern, Dimplex, and Celsi. All of our products come with a complete warranty and finance is available.

With a wide range of sizes and finishes, you're sure to find the perfect electric fire for your home. We've also got a great collection of accessories, including back panels and hearths, to help you pick the perfect accessories for your fireplace.

Wall-mounted electric fires are becoming increasingly popular as a versatile and simple way to add an attractive addition to your home. Since  free standing fireplace  don't require a flue or chimney, installing them is quite simple, but it's important to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer and have the necessary tools in your arsenal.

Depending on the model you choose depending on the model you choose, you may need to drill holes into your wall and install a bracket. It is a good idea to use a spirit level and an stud finder prior to drilling to ensure you're not drilling into anything important.

After you have erected the wall bracket, it is time to install your fire. It can be done by placing the fire inside the firebox, and then securing it onto the bracket, or you may need to connect the firebox and screen together as one unit. If you're not comfortable doing this on your own we suggest hiring an electrician to complete the task for you.

Enjoy your new fire when you're done! Always connect your electric fireplace to a designated socket, instead of using an extension cord. This will allow you to ensure the safety of your electric fire and avoid future issues with your electrical supply.

Flames

Freestanding electric fires have various flame options to suit your personal style. Some are made up of a chemical mixture that rises from a single point and lack the chaotic look of real wood log flames, while others are built on cutting-edge LED technology that gives the flames a lifelike movement and unpredictability. MagikFlame uses a new innovation called Hybrid FX, which cycle the flames as well as the ember bed and accent lighting through a variety of colors to create an immersive experience.

Many models come with corner-right, left-corner or three-sided bays to provide more flexibility. You can also find wall-mounted models that are single-sided and function well as electric fireplaces that are partially or fully recessible. These are ideal for a simple and quick installation.

Fuel bed

The fuel bed that is used in the floor standing electric fire is the flammable material that covers the flames and is responsible for their combustion. The fuel bed is comprised of a variety of materials like log effect or real coals which can be adjusted to match your decor. The fuel bed is affected by a variety of factors, including its size, shape and structure. They can have a major impact on the flames.

Anderson (1964) in a study on pine needle fuel beds, found that spread rates of fire were independent of fuel depth above a threshold of 0.0762m (with a positive correlation below this threshold). This observation is in line with earlier observations made by Catchpole and other researchers, as well as observations from the vast field of fire behaviour studies which Rothermel is the director of.

The structure of fuel beds in wildland areas is a complex system and their characteristics change with time and place. To identify this diversity the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was created to categorize fuelbeds and determine their potential impacts on fire behavior. FCCS fuelbeds are organized into six distinct strata, including shrubs, canopy, nonwoody fuels, woody fuels and litter-lichen-moss. The attributes resulting from the Consume 4.2 calculator embedded within the FFT software are helpful to map fuelbeds and could be used as inputs to models for prediction of fire behaviour.

A dimensional analysis of each of the six types of fuelbed was carried out to compare the rate of spread of fire in windy and non-windy weather. This led to the creation of dimensionless groups for each of the relevant variables that include dimensionless spread rate of fire, dimensionless fuel particle size and moisture content as well as dimensionless fuel bed depth or fuel loading density and dimensionless wind speed and angle of inclination. Dimensionless correlations based on the groups that were created correlated the spread rate of fire in wind and non-wind conditions quite easily. It is important to note that these correlations were based only on research data that included a limited number of fuel types found in natural forests that can be found in wildland areas.
