Floor Standing Electric Fire

A floor standing electric fires freestanding fire is a fireplace that sits on the ground, rather than being constructed into the wall. They all give the appearance of flames while generating heat. They can be used with a coal effect electric fires freestanding, log or a modern pebble fuel bed.

Some have remote controls, which is ideal for those who want to control their settings from afar. They are CSA-certified and safe for use with children in the room.

Features

Freestanding electric fireplaces have traditional style that can elevate the look of any room. They are small in size and are simple to install. There are a variety of designs to pick 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 feel or choose a coloured pebble effect to make things more interesting.

You can also choose to incorporate an electric fire into the fireplace mantel. These are a more permanent alternative to wall-mounted units. They also allow you to place additional storage furniture beneath the unit, like sideboard cabinets or credenzas. They come in a range of finishes to match any decor and some even have the option of glass panels or a mirror finish for a more contemporary appearance.

Electric inserts are the perfect way to upgrade any design in your home without spending a lot of money. They're also a great option to create a more efficient heating system since they don't require chimneys or vents, instead plugging directly into the wall for an energy output of up to 4700 BTUs.

Installation

A freestanding electric free standing fires fireplace is a fantastic option if you want to add a fireplace without a chimney. Direct Fireplaces has a wide choice of electric fireplaces that can be used to heat your living room, or to add warmth to your guest room.

We have a wide range of contemporary and traditional electric fires from top brands such as Be Modern, Dimplex and Celsi. All of our products come with a complete warranty and finance is available.

You're sure find the perfect electric fire for your home, thanks to our vast selection of sizes and finishes. We've also got a great assortment of accessories, such as hearths and back panels, to help you pick the perfect finishing touches for your fireplace.

Wall-mounted electric fires are becoming increasingly popular as a multi-purpose and simple way to add an attractive accent to your home. Installing them is simple because they don't require a chimney or flue. However, it's important to read the instructions and have some essential tools on hand.

Depending on the model you select 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 as well as a spirit level to ensure that you're not drilling into something important.

Once you have the wall bracket in place, it's time to fit your fire. This can either be done by placing the fire into the firebox and then attaching it to the bracket, or you might need to install the firebox and screen together as a complete unit. If you're not confident doing this on your own, we recommend hiring an electrician.

Enjoy your new fire when you're done! Always plug your electric fireplace into an appropriate socket rather than using an extension cord. This will help you to ensure the safety of your electric fire and prevent future problems with your electrical supply.

Flames

There are a range of flame options available for freestanding electric fireplaces to suit your interior design. Some electric fires use an organic mixture of chemicals that is released from a single point, and does not have the chaotic appearance of log flames made of wood. Others are based on LED technology, which creates realistic flames and a flurry of unpredictable. MagikFlame uses a new innovation called Hybrid-FX, which reverberates the flames along with the ember bed, accent lighting through a rainbow of colors to create a dazzling experience.

Many models come with left-corner, corner-right or three-sided bay configurations for even greater flexibility. You can also find single-sided wall-mounted models that work well as partially or built-in electric fireplaces. They are perfect for simple and quick installation.

Fuel bed

The fuel bed associated with the floor free standing fireplace electric electric fire is the flammable material that surrounds the flames and is responsible for their combustion. The fuel bed can be constructed from a variety of materials, like real coals or log effect. It can also be customized to fit your design. A variety of factors affect the shape and size of the fuel bed, including its shape, size and structure, which can greatly affect the combustion of the flames.

Anderson (1964) in a study of pine needle fuel beds, discovered that fire spread rates were independent of the depth of the fuel over a threshold of 0.0762m (with a positive correlation below this threshold). This observation agreed with earlier observations made in 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 famous.

The structure of fuel beds in wildland areas is complex and their characteristics change over time and in different locations. To capture this variability to better understand this, the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was created to categorize fuelbeds, and identify the potential impact they have on fire behavior. Fuelbeds classified by FCCS are classified into six strata that include: shrubs, canopy, nonwoody fuels woody fuels litter-lichen-moss. The attributes compiled by Consume 4.2 embedded in the FFT software, are helpful for mapping fuelbeds. They can be incorporated into models to predict the behaviour of fire.

A study of the dimensional structure of each of the six types of fuelbeds was conducted to determine the rate at which fire spreads in windy and non-windy weather. This resulted in the generation of dimensionless groups for each of the relevant variables that include dimensionless fire rate of spread and dimensionless size of the fuel particle and moisture content and dimensionless depth of the fuel bed or fuel loading density and dimensionless wind speed and angle of inclination. The dimensionless correlations that were derived from the groups produced correlated the rate of spread of fire with wind and no-wind conditions fairly reliably. However, it is important to keep in mind that these correlations were based upon experimental data that only covered a very small portion of the range of natural fuel types that can be found in wildland environments.
