Types of in Wall Fireplaces
A fireplace in the wall is a stylish option to add heat and atmosphere to your living space. They are easy to set up and maintain.
To put in an in-wall fireplace, first you need to cut a hole for the unit according to the instructions provided by the manufacturer. Then, build a frame around the unit or "bump out" the wall to give it a finished look.
Ethanol
Ethanol fireplaces are a great option for those who wish to add a beautiful and modern-looking fireplace to their home, but do not wish to go through the cost of installing a wood burning fireplace. They can be wall mounted or recessed, and can be installed in any room of the house. This kind of fireplace is eco-friendly and safe choice for homeowners, as it doesn't produce harmful or toxic substances when it is ignited.
Installation and use are two of the biggest advantages of the ethanol fire places. You pour a small amount fuel ethanol into the burner and then light it using the stove lighter. The fire will burn for up to four hours, then it will fade away. Ethanol fireplaces don't produce smoke, which is why they can be used in areas where a wood-burning fireplace would not be appropriate.
They're also a great option for people who live in condos or apartments that have restrictions on what they can do to their home. They're also a good option for businesses as they can be used in waiting areas or other public spaces.
The only downside of an ethanol fireplace is that it does require oxygen for combustion, so it is not recommended to use in a room that is not ventilated. Keep a fire extinguisher close to the fireplace and keep any items that could ignite at least a meter away.
Ethanol fireplaces aren't just simple to use, but they are also affordable to purchase and maintain. They can be purchased at major retailers and are available in a variety of styles. Certain fireplaces can be controlled with apps on smartphones that allows you to switch it off and on whenever you want. Make sure your fireplace is fully cooled before refilling or restarting it.
Electricity
There are various kinds of electric fireplaces that can be recessed into walls. Some are completely recessed, while others are partially recessive. This kind of fireplace is perfect for those who want a completely finished look since it doesn't require a chimney and can be put in a very small space.
After the fireplace has been installed, you can use lumber to build an enclosure around it and give it a professional appearance that will allow it to stay in the right spot. Some homeowners opt to build a mantel over the fireplace in their wall to create an interesting centerpiece in the room. You should always adhere to the manufacturer's instructions and be attentive to the suggested distances and clearances. This is important, especially when you want to be sure that your fireplace does not get too close to any items that could catch on the fire.
It is important to keep in mind that your in-wall fireplace must be on its own separate circuit regardless of its size or shape. If a fireplace is connected into an outlet along with other appliances, it could draw too much power, causing the outlet to overload. This can lead to an overheated fuse or circuit breaker.
Installing a wall mount model is more complicated than installing one that is powered by ethanol. It typically requires a professional to make sure that the unit is secure within the wall. This is especially the case for built-in units which are designed to be completely recessed into the wall.
This type of installation also requires that there be adequate space for the heat vents as well as the gas line. In addition, the fireplace must be installed near carbon monoxide detectors to ensure that you are alerted in the event of dangerous levels of CO in your home.
A fireplace built into the wall is a wonderful addition to any living space. It also provides an additional source for heat. It's also a great method to reduce heating bills and also create a stylish feature to your home. It is important to take into account the costs of maintaining fireplaces when deciding if it is the right choice for you.
Gas
Gas fireplaces provide the same style and warmth of traditional wood burning fireplaces, but without the need for chimneys. These fireplaces are energy-efficient and easy to set up and are much safer than counterparts that burn wood. They are available in a wide variety of styles that can fit any decor.
Installing a gas fireplace into a wall is the initial step. Find the most suitable place in your home to put it. Take into consideration the layout of the room and furniture when deciding a location for your fireplace. Once you've decided the best place to put your fireplace, make an opening of the same size as your fireplace unit in the wall. Follow the instructions of the manufacturer to install the unit.
You can find the installation instructions for your specific fireplace on the company's website or inside the box of the unit. The procedure for installing the fireplace will vary, depending on the type of fireplace you select and the structure of your house. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s instructions when installing a gas fire. This includes venting and avoiding any combustible material.
Direct-vent systems are used by most in-wall gas fires. This means that they draw combustion air from the outside through a vent on your exterior wall, and exhaust combustion byproducts to the outside. This is the most popular and secure option for a gas fireplace in the wall.
Certain fireplaces with gas use an ignition light to start the burner, while other come with an electronic ignition. If your fireplace is equipped with an electric ignition, just hit a switch on the wall or the remote control to turn the fireplace on. You can also set the fireplace to auto-pilot mode which will ensure that it is lit even when you're not there.
Another important safety consideration when using a fireplace with gas is to ensure that you have carbon monoxide detectors in your home. Carbon monoxide is a hazardous byproduct of gas combustion that can be poisonous if it enters into the air supply in your home. To decrease the risk of carbon monoxide poisoning you should install a carbon monoxide detector near any source of combustion that produces a flame (such as your fireplace that is in-wall). The detectors are sold at most hardware shops.
