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 create the illusion of flames while producing heat and they can be utilized with a log or coal effect fuel bed, or a modern pebble effect.
Certain models come with a remote control that allows you to alter the settings from the distance. They are CSA certified and safe to use in rooms with children.
Features
Electric fires that stand on their own can bring a classic look to any room. They are simple to set up and take up a small amount of space. There are many styles to choose from and the majority of them have black surrounds to create a striking effect. Choose a coal, log or pebble effect fuel bed to get an authentic experience.
You can also decide to incorporate an electric fire inside your fireplace mantel. They provide a longer-lasting option than wall-mounted ones and permit additional storage furniture like sideboard cabinets or credenzas to be placed underneath the fireplace. They are available in a variety of finishes that can be matched to any decor and some even have the option of a glass panel or mirrored finish for a more contemporary appearance.
Electric inserts are the perfect option to improve any design in your home without spending a large amount of money. They're also a great way to get 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
A freestanding electric fireplace is a great option for those looking to build a fireplace that doesn't have a chimney. 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 offer a wide selection of electric fires both modern and traditional with top brands like Be Modern, Dimplex, and Celsi. All of our products are covered by a comprehensive guarantee and financing options are available.
With an extensive range of finishes and sizes available You're sure to find the ideal electric fireplace for your home. We also have a wide 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 flexible and easy way of adding an attractive feature to your home. Installing them is straightforward as they don't need a chimney or flue. However, it's important to follow the directions and have some essential tools on your side.
Depending on the model you choose, it may be necessary to drill holes in your wall to install a bracket. It is a good idea to make use of a spirit level as well as a stud finder prior to drilling, to make sure you're not drilling into something that is important.
After you have erected the wall bracket, it is time to put in your fire. You can either put the fire in the firebox and then connect it to the bracket or you can install the firebox with the screen as a whole unit. If you're not confident doing this by yourself We suggest you hire an electrician to do it for you.
Enjoy your new flame when you're done! Always plug your electric fireplace into a dedicated socket, instead of using an extension cord. This will help you to ensure the safety of your electric fire and prevent future problems with your electrical supply.
Flames
There are a range of flame options for freestanding electric fireplace s that fit your home's style. Some are made up of a chemical mixture that rises from a point, and do not have the chaotic appearance of real wood log flames, while others are built on state-of-the-art LED technology that gives the flames a lifelike movement and unpredictability. MagikFlame utilizes a brand new technology called Hybrid-FX, which cycles the flames, ember bed and accent lighting through a spectrum of colors to create a dazzling experience.
Many models are available with corner-right, left-corner or three-sided bays for more flexibility. There are also single-sided wall mounted models that work well 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 a floor standing electric fire is the material that is flammable that covers the flames and is responsible for their combustion. The fuel bed could be made of a variety of materials, including real coals or log effect. It can also be modified to match your design. The fuel bed is affected by a variety of factors, including its shape, size, and structure. They could have a significant effect on the flames.
In a study of pine needle fuel beds, Anderson (1964) observed that the spread rate of fire was not dependent on the depth of the fuel beyond the threshold of 0.0762 m (with a positive relationship below this depth threshold). This observation agreed with earlier observations made in studies on fire in the crib conducted by Catchpole and others and observations from the vast field of fire behaviour studies of which Rothermel is the most well-known.
However, the structure of natural fuel beds in wildland habitats is extremely complex, and their characteristics vary significantly over time and across space. To identify this diversity to better understand this, the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was created to categorize fuelbeds, and identify the potential impact they have on fire behavior. Fuelbeds classified by FCCS are divided into six strata that include: shrubs, canopy, nonwoody fuels woody fuels litter-lichen-moss. The attributes summarized by Consume 4.2 which is integrated into the FFT software, can be useful for mapping fuelbeds. They can be incorporated into models to predict the behaviour of fire.
A study of the dimensional structure of each of the six types of fuelbeds was carried out to compare the rate at which fire spreads in windy and non-windy weather. This resulted in the generation of dimensionless groups for each of the pertinent variables: 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 resulting groups correlated the rate of spread of fire with wind and no-wind conditions fairly reliably. It is important to remember that these correlations were based solely on experimental data that included a limited number of fuel types found in natural forests that are found in wildland areas.
