Floor Standing Electric Fire

The floor-standing electric fires electric fireplace is a type of fireplace which stands on the ground instead of being constructed into a brick wall. They all create the illusion of flames, while also producing heat and they can be utilized with a log or coal effect fuel bed, or even a modern pebble effect.

Some have remote controls, which is ideal for those who prefer to control their settings from afar. They are certified by the CSA and are safe for use with children in the room.

Features

Freestanding electric fireplaces have traditional style that can enhance the appearance of any room. They take up minimal space and are easily installed. There are a variety of styles available to choose from, with the majority featuring an all-black surround to create a striking appearance. Select a coal or log effect fuel bed to enhance the authentic feel, or opt for a coloured pebble effect to make things more interesting.

Alternatively, you can go for an electric fire that is built-in that will be incorporated into your fireplace mantel. They provide a longer-lasting solution than wall-mounted options and also allow for additional storage furniture like credenzas or sideboards to be placed below the unit. They come in a range of finishes to match any decor, and some have the option of a glass panel or mirrored finish for a more contemporary appearance.

Electric inserts are a great way to upgrade any design in your home without spending a lot of money. They're also a great method to create a more efficient heating solution because they don't require chimneys or vents, instead plugging directly into the wall for an energy output of up to 4700 BTUs.

Installation

If you're looking to find a stylish, affordable and practical way to add a fireplace your home without the necessity of a chimney or flue, a freestanding electric fire could be the perfect option. Direct Fireplaces offers a wide selection of electric fires that can be used to heat your living room or to add a warm touch to your guest room.

We offer a range of contemporary and traditional electric fires from leading brands, including Be Modern, Dimplex and Celsi. All of our products are protected by a comprehensive guarantee and financing options are available.

With an extensive range of sizes and finishes You're sure to find the perfect electric fireplace for your home. We also have a broad assortment of accessories, including hearths and back panel to allow you to personalize your fireplace.

Electric wall-mounted fireplaces are a excellent way to create a unique feature to your home. They are simple to set up and are versatile. Since they don't require a chimney or flue, putting them in place them is quite simple but it's essential to follow the manufacturer's instructions and have a few essential tools in your arsenal.

Depending on the model you choose You may need to drill holes into your wall and then fix the wall bracket in place. It's a good idea utilize a spirit level and a stud finder before drilling, to make sure you're not drilling into anything that could be of importance.

Once you have the wall bracket set, it's time to fit your fire. This can either be done by placing the fire inside the firebox and then fitting it to the bracket, or you might need to fit the screen and firebox as one unit. If you're not comfortable doing this by yourself we suggest hiring an electrician to do it for you.

Enjoy your new fire once you're done! Make sure to connect your electric fire to an electrical outlet that is specifically designed for it rather than using an extension cable. This will help ensure the safety of your electric fireplace and avoid any future issues with your electrical supply.

Flames

freestanding fires electric fires come with different flame options to fit your style of interior. Some utilize a chemical mix that rises from a single point, and do not have the chaotic appearance of real wood log flames, while others are built on the latest LED technology which gives the flames lifelike motion and unpredictable. MagikFlame's Hybrid FX technology provides an immersive experience by cycling the flames, accent lighting and the ember bed, which is the spectrum of colors in a rainbow-like manner.

Many models come with left-corner, corner-right or three-sided bays for more flexibility. You can also find wall-mounted models that are single-sided and work well as electric fireplaces that are either partially or completely recessible. They are ideal for quick and easy installation.

Fuel bed

The fuel bed is the material that ignites that surrounds the flames of a floor-standing electric fire, and is responsible to the combustion. The fuel bed is made up of a variety of materials, including log effect or real coals which can be adapted to match your decor. A variety of factors affect the shape of the fuel bed, such as its size, shape and structure, which can greatly affect the combustion of the flames.

Anderson (1964) in a study on pine needle fuel beds, found that spread rates of fire were independent of fuel depth above the threshold of 0.0762m (with positive correlation below this threshold). This observation is in line with earlier observations from crib fire experiments conducted by Catchpole and others as well as observations from the extensive field of fire behaviour studies of which Rothermel is the most well-known.

The structure of fuel beds in wildland areas is complex and their characteristics change over time and in different locations. Fuel Characteristic Classification System was created to help capture this diversity and to determine the potential effects of fuelbeds on fire behavior. FCCS fuelbeds are classified into six strata: canopy, shrubs nonwoody fuels litter-lichen-moss. The attributes compiled by Consume 4.2 which is embedded in the FFT software, can be useful to map fuelbeds. They can be used to input into models to predict fire behaviour.

For each of the six fuelbed types An analysis of dimensionality was performed in order to compare the rate of spread of fire under wind and non-wind conditions. This resulted in the generation of dimensionless groups for each of the pertinent variables that include dimensionless spread rate of fire and dimensionless size of the fuel particle and moisture content and dimensionless depth of the fuel bed or fuel loading density, and dimensionless wind speed and angle of inclination. Dimensionless correlations using the groups that were created correlated the rate of spread of fire with wind and no-wind conditions fairly consistently. However, it is important to keep in mind that these correlations were based upon experimental data that only covered the smallest part of the natural fuel types that can be found in wildland environments.
