Floor Standing Electric Fire A floor-standing electric fireplace is a fireplace that sits on the ground instead of being installed into walls. They all give the illusion of flames while producing heat and they can be utilized with a log or coal effect fuel bed, or a contemporary pebble effect. Some have remote controls which is ideal for those who wish to control the settings from afar. They are certified by the CSA and are safe to use with children in the room. Here are a few examples of Electric fires that stand alone can bring a classic look to any room. They take up minimal space and are easily installed. There are a range of styles to choose from with the majority with a black stove cover to create a striking effect. Choose a log or coal effect fuel bed to add to the authentic look or choose a coloured pebble effect to spice things up. You can also decide to incorporate an electric fire inside your fireplace mantel. They are a more durable alternative to wall-mounted units. They also permit you to put additional furniture for storage below the unit, like sideboard cabinets or credenzas. They are available in a variety of styles that will fit into any style. Some are even available with a glass or mirrored panel for a modern look. Electric inserts are the perfect way to upgrade any design in your home without spending a large amount of money. They're also a great option to get a more efficient heating system since they don't require any chimney or vents instead, plugging directly into the wall to provide an energy output of up to 4700 BTUs. Installation A freestanding electric fireplace is an excellent alternative if you're looking to create a fireplace without chimney. Whether you're after something to warm your living room or add a rustic touch to your guest bedroom, there's an excellent choice of electric fires to choose from at Direct Fireplaces. We offer a variety of traditional and contemporary electric fires from top brands such as Be Modern, Dimplex and Celsi. All of our products come with a full warranty, and financing is available. You'll be able to find the perfect electric fire for your home, thanks to our vast selection of sizes and finishes. We also have a broad selection of accessories like hearths and back panels so you can customize your fireplace to suit your needs. Electric wall-mounted fires are a excellent way to create an unique feature to your home. They are simple to install and can be used for a variety of purposes. Since they don't require a flue or chimney, installing them is quite simple however, it is important to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer and have a few essential tools in your arsenal. Depending on the model you select depending on the model you choose, you may need to drill holes into your wall and then install a bracket. Before drilling, it's a great idea to use a stud-finder and a spirit level to make sure you are not drilling into something important. Once you have the wall bracket set It's time to install your fire. You can either put the fire in the firebox, and then attach it to the bracket, or you can mount the firebox with the screen as a complete unit. If you are not confident doing this yourself we suggest hiring an electrician. Enjoy your new fire once you're done! Always connect your electric fireplace to an appropriate socket rather than using an extension cord. This will help ensure the safety of your electric fireplace and avoid any future issues with your electrical supply. Flames There are a range of flame options for freestanding electric fireplaces that match your interior design. Some electric fires employ an organic mixture of chemicals that is produced by a single point, and lacks the chaotic appearance of log flames made of wood. Others are based on LED technology which makes the flames appear real and are unpredictable. MagikFlame's Hybrid FX technology creates an immersive experience by cycling the flames, accent lighting and the ember bed through an array of colors that resembles a rainbow. For greater flexibility There are models available in left-corner, right-corner or three-sided bay designs to accommodate a variety of installation. There are also single-sided wall-mounted models that can be used as built-in or partially recessed electric fireplaces. These are ideal for a simple and quick installation. Fuel bed The fuel bed is the flammable substance surrounding the flames of an electric floor-standing fire and is responsible for combustion. The fuel bed is comprised of a variety of materials such as log effect or real coals which can be adjusted to match your decor. There are electric freestanding fire of factors that affect the fuel bed such as its size, shape 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 fire spread rate was independent of the depth of the fuel over a threshold of 0.0762 m (with positive correlation below this depth threshold). This observation was in accordance with earlier observations made by Catchpole and other researchers, and also observations from the extensive field on fire behavior studies that Rothermel is the director of. However the structure of natural fuel beds in wildland habitats is extremely complex, and their characteristics vary significantly over time and space. In an effort to capture this variability the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was created to categorize fuelbeds and determine their potential impacts on fire behavior. FCCS fuelbeds are classified into six strata; shrubs, canopy nonwoody fuels, woody fuels and litter-lichen-moss. The resulting attributes, as summarized by the Consume 4.2 calculator that is integrated into the FFT software are helpful to map fuelbeds and could be used as inputs to models for predicting fire behaviour. For each of the six types, a dimensional analysis was carried out to correlate the spread rate of fire under wind and no-wind conditions. This led to the creation of dimensionless groups for each of the pertinent variables including dimensionless fire rate of spread, dimensionless fuel particle size and moisture content, dimensionless fuel bed depth or the fuel loading density and dimensionless wind speed and angle of inclination. The dimensionless correlations based upon the groups generated correlated the rate that fire spreads with wind and no-wind conditions quite consistently. However it is important to note that these dimensionless correlations were based upon experimental data that covered only a small portion of the natural fuel types that are found in wildland environments.
