Inset vs wall-hung
Media wall electric fires are available in two main styles: inset and wall-mounted. Inset models, such as the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are built into the wall. They offer a flush finish, seamlessly blends into the walls surrounding it for a sleek appearance. Inset electric fireplaces are more costly and require an opening.
The most effective electric media wall fires, like the Elgin & Hall Pryzm Arteon 3, are wall-hung. Since they don't sit set into the wall, they don't require an opening that already exists and are relatively inexpensive to put up. There are models that come with a variety of trims and finishes that can be customized to match your decor. Despite this wall-hung models are able to appear to be a bit out of the wall, so they might not be suitable for all room designs. They can also hinder the flow of air in smaller rooms because they'll probably radiate heat upwards rather than across the space.
3. Vision Futura 1500
Electric fires are the perfect finishing touch for a media wall. They create an eye-catching focal point that is captivating and enjoyable to be in front of. Modern fires are packed with modern features that can improve the look of your home. They have a flame-effect-only setting which saves energy, and a cooling feature for cool summer nights.
A media wall is an area dedicated to your entertainment system. It could include an audio system, TV or other devices that you use frequently. This kind of space is a contemporary response to the entertainment centres of the past and can give a sleek and well-organized look while also freeing up floor space in the room.
The majority of modern electric fireplaces for media walls are mounted to the wall and can be either freestanding or inset based on the design you pick. Inset fires are designed to be partially inserted in a fireplace opening. This makes them much easier to install, and they can look more integrated into your living space. Freestanding fires, like the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville, are perfect for those who do not have a fireplace recess. They can also be moved from room-to-room to allow for greater flexibility.
No matter what method of installation you select, always ensure the fire is situated near a power outlet so that you can plug it in and test its functions prior to installing. In accordance with the guidelines, you'll need to put the fire away from combustible material.
Be aware that the majority of electric fireplaces for media walls offer a low heat output and are best used to add an additional source of heat to your central heating systems. They are not suitable for heating large open spaces, and are able to only warm up a room. Some models come with a convenient remote with a variety of heating settings and backlighting options to suit your mood or atmosphere.

A variety of sizes are offered with these fires, meaning you can choose a model that is perfect for your media wall. The majority are designed to be placed into a recess or a cavity but some are mounted directly on the wall for a more minimalist look. Inset models also offer better heat distribution because they're not blocked by a chimney.
If you choose an item that is mounted on the front, the Evonic Halo 1500 XT (formerly Lita) has a larger flame picture to enhance its aesthetic appeal and add extra visual depth.
