Floor Standing Electric Fire

The floor standing electric fireplace is a type of fireplace which stands on the ground instead of being built into a brick wall. All of them give the appearance of flames and produce heat. They are able to be used with a coal, log or modern pebble fuel bed.

Some models come with 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 offer traditional style that can elevate the look of any room. They are easy to install and take up little space. There are many designs to choose from, with the majority of them having a black stove surround to create a striking appearance. Choose a log or coal effect fuel bed to enhance the authentic look or choose the pebble effect in a color to change things up.

You can also opt for a built-in electric fire which can be integrated into your fireplace mantel. They offer a more durable solution than wall-mounted options and also allow for additional storage furniture like sideboard cabinets or credenzas that can be placed underneath the unit. They are available in various finishes that will suit any decor. Some are even available with a glass or mirrored panel finish for a modern electric fire freestanding look.

Electric inserts are a great method to update any interior design without spending a large amount of money. They are also an energy-efficient method of heating your home, as they don't require chimney or vents. Instead, they plug directly into the wall and generate up to 4700 BTUs of heat.

Installation

If you're looking for a stylish, affordable and practical way to add a fireplace your home without the necessity of a chimney or flue A Freestanding Fireplace Indoor electric fire could be the ideal choice. Direct Fireplaces has a wide selection of electric fires that can be used to heat your living room, or to add warmth to your guest room.

We have a variety of electric fires, both traditional and contemporary, from leading brands such as Be Modern, Dimplex, and Celsi. All of our products are protected by a full guarantee and financing options are available.

You'll be able to find the perfect electric fire for your home thanks to our huge selection of sizes and finishes. We also have a wide range of accessories such as hearths and back panels, so you can personalize your fireplace to suit your needs.

Wall-mounted electric fires are becoming increasingly popular as a versatile and easy method of adding an attractive accent to your home. Because they don't require flue or chimney, installing them is fairly straightforward, but it's important to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer and have the necessary tools to hand.

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

After you have erected the wall bracket, it's time to put in your fire. This can either be done by placing the fire into the firebox, and then securing it to the bracket or you might need to install the firebox and screen as a complete unit. If you're not confident doing this on your own We suggest you hire an electrician to complete the task for you.

Once you're done you can sit back and enjoy your new fire! Always connect your electric fireplace to a designated socket, rather than using an extension cord. This will help you to ensure the safety of your electric fireplace and avoid future issues with your electrical supply.

Flames

There are a range of flame options for freestanding electric fireplaces to suit your interior design. Some are made up of a chemical mixture that rises from a point, and do not have the chaotic look of real wood log flames, while others are based on cutting-edge LED technology which gives the flames lifelike motion and unpredictable. MagikFlame uses a new innovation called Hybrid-FX, which reverberates the flames, ember bed and accent lighting through a rainbow of colors to create an enthralling experience.

For greater flexibility Many models are available in left-corner, right-corner or three-sided bay configurations to accommodate a variety of installations. You can also find single-sided wall-mounted models that can be used as built-in or partially recessed electric fireplaces. These are ideal for a easy and quick installation.

Fuel bed

The fuel bed that is used in the floor standing electric fire is the flammable material that surrounds the flames and is responsible for their combustion. The fuel bed is made up of a range of different materials like log effect or real coals that can be adjusted to fit your decor. Several factors influence the shape and size of the fuel bed, including its shape, size and structure, which can greatly affect the combustion of the flames.

In a study of fuel beds made of pine needles, Anderson (1964) observed that the spread rate of fire was not dependent on the depth of the fuel over a threshold of 0.0762 meters (with a positive relationship below this depth threshold). This observation agreed with earlier observations made in the crib fire experiments conducted by Catchpole and others, as well as observations from the extensive study of fire behaviour of which Rothermel is the most famous.

However the structure of natural fuel beds in wildland environments is extremely complex and their properties vary significantly over time and across space. Fuel Characteristic Classification System was developed in order to capture this variability and identify the potential impact of fuelbeds on fire behavior. Fuelbeds classified by FCCS are classified into six strata which include shrubs nonwoody, canopy fuels woody fuels litter-lichen-moss. The resulting attributes, as summarized by the Consume 4.2 calculator embedded within the FFT software are useful for mapping fuelbeds and can be used as input to models for predicting fire behaviour.

A study of the dimensional structure of each of the six types of fuelbed was conducted to determine the rate that fire spreads under windy and non-windy conditions. This led to the creation of dimensionless groups based on the variables: dimensionless fire spread rate, dimensionless fuel particle sizes and moisture content dimensions dimensionless fuel bed density, or fuel loading density and dimensions dimensionless wind speed. Dimensionless correlations based on the resulting groups correlated the spread rate of fire with wind and no-wind conditions fairly reliably. It is important to remember that these correlations were based only on experimental data which covered a very limited range of natural fuel types that are found in wildland areas.
