Floor Standing Electric Fire A floor-standing electric fire is a fireplace that sits on the ground, rather than being installed into a wall. They all create the illusion of flame while producing heat. They can be used with a log or coal effect fuel bed, or even a modern pebble effect. Some models come with a remote control that allows you to adjust the settings from an extended distance. They are approved by the CSA and safe to use with children in the room. Features Electric fires that stand on their own can bring a classic style to 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 featuring a black stove surround to create a truly striking effect. Choose a log or coal effect fuel bed to enhance the authentic feel, or opt for the pebble effect in a color to make things more interesting. You can also decide to have an electric fire built inside your fireplace mantel. They provide a longer-lasting alternative to wall-mounted models and permit additional storage furniture like credenzas or sideboards to be placed underneath the unit. They are available in different designs that can be matched to any decor. Some come with a mirrored or glass panel finishes for a contemporary style. Electric inserts are the perfect way to upgrade any design in your home without spending a lot of money. These inserts are also an energy-efficient way to heat your home since they do not require a chimney or vents. Instead, they connect directly to the wall and produce up to 4700 BTUs of heat. Installation A freestanding electric fireplace is an excellent option for those looking to add a fireplace without a chimney. Whether you're after something to warm up your living space or add a homely touch to your guest bedroom, there's an excellent choice of electric fires to pick from at Direct Fireplaces. 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 full warranty and financing is available. With an extensive range of finishes and sizes available You're sure to find the perfect electric fireplace for your home. We also have a wide assortment of accessories, including hearths and back panels so you can personalize your fireplace to suit your needs. Electric wall-mounted fireplaces are a excellent way to create an unique feature to your home. They are simple to set up and are versatile. Installing Fireplaces And Stove is straightforward since they don't require an chimney or flue. But, it's crucial to follow the directions and have some essential tools on hand. Depending on the model you pick, you may need to drill holes in your wall and fix the wall bracket in place. 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 put up the wall bracket, it's time to put in your fire. It can be done by placing the fire into the firebox and then attaching it to the bracket or you may need to fit the firebox and screen as one 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 sit back and enjoy your new fire! Remember, always connect your electric fireplace to an appropriate power socket rather than using an extension cable. This will ensure that your fire is secure and can help avoid any issues with your electricity supply in the future. Flames There are a variety of flame options for freestanding electric fireplaces to suit your interior design. Some electric fires employ chemical mixtures that are produced by one point and does not have the chaotic appearance of wood log flames. Others are based on LED technology, which creates realistic flames and are unpredictable. MagikFlame makes use of a new invention called Hybrid-FX, which cycles the flames as well as the ember bed and accent lighting through a spectrum of colors to create an enthralling experience. For greater flexibility, many models are available in right-corner, left-corner or three-sided bay configurations to fit different installation. You can also find wall-mounted models that are single-sided, and work well as electric fireplaces that are partially or completely recessible. These are great for simple and quick installation. Fuel bed The fuel bed that is used in a floor standing electric fire is the flammable material that surrounds the flames and is responsible for their combustion. The fuel bed could be comprised of a variety materials, such as real coals or log effect. It can also be customized to fit your design. There are a variety of factors that affect the fuel bed such as its size, shape and structure, which could greatly affect the combustion of the flames. In an investigation of pine needle fuel beds, Anderson (1964) observed that the rate of spread of fire was independent of the depth of the fuel beyond the threshold of 0.0762 meters (with positive correlation below this threshold). This observation is in line with earlier observations from crib fire experiments conducted by Catchpole and others as well as observations from the vast study of fire behaviour of which Rothermel is the most prominent. However, the structure of natural fuel beds in wildland habitats is extremely complex and their characteristics change in a wide range of time and across space. Fuel Characteristic Classification System was created to help capture this diversity and to determine the potential effects of fuelbeds on fire behavior. FCCS fuelbeds are categorized into six strata: shrubs, canopy, nonwoody fuels, woody fuels and litter-lichen-moss. The resulting attributes summarized by the Consume 4.2 calculator built into the FFT software are helpful to map fuelbeds and could be used to input models for fire behaviour prediction. A dimensional analysis 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 formation of dimensionless groups based on the variables: dimensionless spread rate, dimensionless size of fuel particles and moisture content dimensions dimensionless fuel bed density, or fuel loading density, and dimensions dimensionless wind speed. Dimensionless correlations based on the resulting groups correlated the spread rate of fire in wind and no-wind conditions fairly reliably. It is important to note that these correlations were based only on experimental data which included a limited number of natural fuel types that are found in wildland regions.
