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 give the appearance of flames while generating heat. They are able to be used with a coal, log or modern pebble fuel bed. Some models also come with remote controls, which is ideal for those who wish to control the settings from afar. They are CSA-certified and safe for use with children in the room. The following are some examples of Freestanding electric fires provide an elegant design that can elevate the look of any room. They are small in size and are easy to install. There are a range of designs to choose from, with the majority of them having a black stove surround to create a truly striking appearance. Select a coal or log effect fuel bed to give the authentic feel or go for the pebble effect in a color to make things more interesting. You can also choose to incorporate an electric fire into the fireplace mantel. They provide a longer-lasting alternative to wall-mounted models and also allow for additional storage furniture such as sideboard cabinets or credenzas that can be placed beneath the unit. They are available in various designs that can be matched to any decor. Some come with a glass or mirrored panel finish for a modern style. Electric inserts are the perfect way to upgrade any design in your home without spending a lot. They're also a great way to create a more efficient heating solution since they don't require chimneys or vents instead, plugging directly into the wall for the possibility of heating up to 4700 BTUs. Installation If you're looking for a stylish economical and affordable method to add a fireplace your home without the requirement for a chimney or flue, a freestanding electric fireplace is a great option. Direct Fireplaces has a wide choice of electric fireplaces that can be used to heat your living room, or to add a warm touch to your guest room. We offer a wide selection of electric fires, both traditional and contemporary and from top brands such as Be Modern, Dimplex, and Celsi. All of our products come with a full warranty and finance is available. You're sure you'll find the perfect electric fireplace for your home thanks to our vast selection of sizes and finishes. We also have a wide range of accessories such as hearths and back panels so you can customize your fireplace to suit your needs. Wall-mounted electric fires are becoming more popular as a multi-purpose and easy method of adding an attractive accent to your home. Because fireplacesandstove don't require chimney or flue, installing them is quite simple however, it is important to follow the manufacturer's guidelines and have a few essential tools to hand. Depending on the model you choose, you may need to drill holes in your wall and then fix a wall bracket into place. Before drilling, it's a great idea to use a stud-finder and a spirit level to ensure you're not drilling into anything that is important. After you have installed the wall bracket, it is time to put in your fire. This can either be done by putting the fire in the firebox and then attaching it to the bracket or you may have to connect the screen and firebox as a complete unit. If you're not sure about doing it yourself, we recommend hiring an electrician. Enjoy your new fire when you're done! Make sure to connect your electric fireplace to a dedicated power socket rather than using an extension cable. This will ensure that your fire is safe and will help prevent any issues with your power supply in the future. Flames There are a variety of flame options for freestanding electric fireplaces to match your interior design. Certain electric fires utilize an organic mixture of chemicals that is emitted from one point and does not have the chaotic appearance of wood log flames. Others are based on LED technology, which creates realistic flames and a flurry of unpredictable. MagikFlame uses a new innovation called Hybrid FX, which cycle the flames along with the ember bed, accent lighting through a spectrum of colors to create an immersive experience. Many models are available with left-corner, corner-right or three-sided bay configurations for even more flexibility. You can also find single-sided wall mounted models that work well as partially or built-in electric fireplaces. These are great for easy and quick installation. Fuel bed The fuel bed associated with a floor standing electric fire is the flammable material that covers the flames and is responsible for their combustion. The fuel bed is made up of a variety of materials like log effect or real coals that can be adjusted to match your decor. The fuel bed is influenced by several factors, including its size, shape, and structure. They can have a significant impact on the flames. In an investigation of fuel beds made of pine needles, Anderson (1964) observed that the rate of spread of fire was independent of fuel depth beyond a threshold of 0.0762 meters (with positive correlation below this depth threshold). This observation agreed with earlier observations in the crib fire experiments conducted by Catchpole and others, as well as observations from the vast field of fire behaviour studies of which Rothermel is the most prominent. The structure of the fuel beds in wildland areas is complex and their characteristics change over time and in different locations. Fuel Characteristic Classification System was developed in order to capture this diversity and to determine the potential effects of fuelbeds on fire behavior. FCCS fuelbeds are categorized into six strata: canopy, shrubs nonwoody fuels, woody fuels, and litter-lichen-moss. The attributes compiled by Consume 4.2, embedded in the FFT software, can be useful for mapping fuelbeds. They can also be used to input into models for fire behaviour predictions. A study of the dimensional structure of each of the six types of fuelbed was conducted to determine the rate that fire spreads in windy and non-windy conditions. This led to the development of dimensionless groups based on each of the variables: dimensionless fire spread rate, dimensionless size of fuel particles and moisture content, dimensions dimensionless fuel bed density or loading density, and dimensions dimensionless wind speed. Dimensionless correlations based on the resulting groups were able to correlate the rate of spread of fire with wind and non-wind conditions quite consistently. It is important to remember that these correlations were based only on experimental data which included a limited number of natural fuel types that are found in wildland regions.
