Floor Standing Electric Fire

A floor standing electric fire is a fireplace that sits on the ground, rather than being installed into walls. They all give the appearance of flames and produce heat. They can be used in conjunction with a log, coal or modern pebble fuel bed.

Some models include the option of a remote control that allows you to adjust the settings from a distance. They are CSA-certified and safe for use with children in the room.

The following are some examples of

Electric fires that stand alone can bring a classic look to any room. They require little space and are easy to install. There are a variety of designs to choose from, with most featuring a black stove surround to create a striking effect. Select a coal or log effect fuel bed to give the authentic look or choose colored pebbles to make things more interesting.

You can also choose to have an electric fire built into the fireplace mantel. They provide a longer-lasting option than wall-mounted ones, and allow for additional storage furniture like credenzas or sideboards to be placed below the fireplace. They come in a variety of finishes to match any decor and some even come with glass panels or a mirrored finish for a more contemporary appearance.

Designed to fit into your existing fireplace, an electric insert can be the perfect solution to improve your interior design without spending too much money. They are also efficient in terms of energy consumption to heat your home, since they do not require a chimney or vents. Instead they plug directly into the wall and produce up to 4700 BTUs of heat.

Installation

If you're looking to find a stylish, affordable and practical way to add a fireplace your home without the necessity of a chimney or flue A freestanding electric fire is a great option. Direct Fireplaces has a wide selection of electric fires that can be used to warm your living room, or to add a warm touch to your guest room.

We offer a range of contemporary and traditional electric fires from the top brands that include Be Modern, Dimplex and Celsi. All of our products come with a complete warranty, and financing is available.

With an extensive range of sizes and finishes available you're bound to find the perfect electric fire for your home. We also have a broad range of accessories such as hearths and back panels, so you can customize your fireplace.

Electric wall-mounted fires are great way to add an interesting feature to your home. They are easy to install and versatile. As they don't require a chimney or flue, installing them is quite simple, but it's important to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer and have a few basic tools in your arsenal.

Depending on the model you pick depending on the model you choose, you may have to drill holes in your wall and then fix a wall bracket into place. It's a good idea utilize a spirit level and an stud finder prior to drilling, to make sure you're not drilling into anything that could be of importance.

After you have installed the wall bracket, it is time to install your fire. You can either put the fire in the firebox and then connect it to the bracket or you can install the firebox together with the screen as a complete unit. If you're not confident doing this by yourself we suggest hiring an electrician to do it for you.

When you're finished you can relax and take a break and enjoy your new fireplace! Make sure to connect your electric fireplace to an electrical outlet that is specifically designed for it instead of an extension cable. This will help ensure the safety of your electric fire and avoid future issues with your electrical supply.

Flames

Freestanding electric fires offer various flame options to fit your style of interior. Some use a chemical mix that rises from a single point and lack the chaotic appearance of real wood log flames, while others are based on state-of-the-art LED technology that gives the flames lifelike motion and unpredictable. MagikFlame uses a new innovation 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 bay configurations for even greater flexibility. You can also find single-sided wall-mounted models that can be used as built-in or partially recessed electric fireplaces. They are ideal for quick and easy installation.

Fuel bed

The fuel bed is the flammable substance surrounding the flames of an electric floor-free standing fireplace indoor fire and is responsible for the combustion. The fuel bed can be comprised of a variety materials, including real coals or log effect. It can also be customized to match your design. The fuel bed is influenced by a variety of factors, including its shape, size, and structure. They can have a major impact on the flames.

Anderson (1964), in a study of pine needle fuel beds, observed that spread rates of fire were independent of fuel depth over a threshold of 0.0762m (with a positive correlation below this threshold depth). This observation is in line with earlier observations made in crib fire experiments conducted by Catchpole and others and observations from the vast field of fire behaviour studies of which Rothermel is the most well-known.

The structure of the fuel beds in wildland areas is complicated and their characteristics change over time and in different locations. Fuel Characteristic Classification System was designed to recognize this variation and determine the potential impact of fuelbeds on fire behavior. FCCS fuelbeds are organized 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 be used to input into models for fire behaviour predictions.

For each of the six types of fuelbeds A dimensional analysis was carried out to correlate the spread rate of fire under wind and no-wind conditions. This led to the development of dimensionless groups based on each of the variables: dimensionless spread rate, dimensionless size of fuel particles and moisture content, dimensions dimensionless fuel bed density or loading density, and dimensions dimensionless wind speed. The dimensionless correlations based on the groups generated correlations between the rate that fire spreads with wind and no-wind situations quite consistently. It is important to remember that these correlatives in the dimensionless were based solely on research data that covered a very limited range of natural fuel types that are found in wildland areas.
