Floor Standing Electric Fire

A floor free standing electric fires with surround electric fire is a fireplace that stands on the ground instead of being constructed into walls. All of them have the appearance of flames and produce heat. They can be used in conjunction with a log, coal or modern pebble fuel bed.

Some models come with an remote control that lets you to adjust the settings from an extended distance. They are CSA-certified and safe for use with children in the room.

Features

Freestanding electric fireplaces have an elegant design that can elevate the look of any room. They are easy to install and take up little space. There are a variety of styles available to choose from and most of them feature an all-black surround to create an impressive effect. Choose a log or coal effect fuel bed to add to the authentic feel, or opt for a coloured pebble effect to spice things up.

You can also choose to install an electric fire into the fireplace mantel. These provide a more permanent option than wall-mounted ones and permit additional storage furniture like credenzas or sideboards to be placed below the fireplace. They are available in various styles that will fit into any style. Some even come with a mirrored or glass panel finish for a modern look.

Electric inserts are a great method to update any interior design without spending a lot. They're also a great way to get a more efficient heating solution because they don't require chimneys or vents instead, plugging directly into the wall to provide an energy output of up to 4700 BTUs.

Installation

A freestanding electric fireplace is a great alternative if you're looking to add a fireplace without a chimney. Direct Fireplaces offers a broad 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 variety of traditional and contemporary electric fires from top brands, including Be Modern, Dimplex and Celsi. All of our products are protected by a complete guarantee, and financing options are also available.

You'll surely find the perfect electric fire for your home thanks to our wide range of sizes and finishes. We also have a wide selection of accessories, including back panels and hearths, so you can pick the perfect finishing touch for your fireplace.

Wall-mounted electric fires are becoming increasingly popular as a multi-purpose and easy way of adding an attractive accent to your home. Installing them is straightforward because they don't require an chimney or flue. However, it's important to follow the directions and have the necessary tools on the premises.

Depending on the model you choose, you may need to drill holes in your wall to fix a wall bracket into place. It's a good idea utilize a spirit level and a stud finder prior to drilling to ensure you're not drilling into anything important.

Once you have the wall bracket installed now is the time to put in your fire. This can either be done by placing the fire inside the firebox, and then securing it to the bracket or you may have to install the firebox and screen as an entire unit. If you're not comfortable doing this by yourself We suggest you hire an electrician to do it for you.

Enjoy your new fire once you're done! Always connect your electric fireplace to a designated socket, instead of using an extension cord. This will ensure that your fire is safe and can help avoid any issues with your electricity supply in the future.

Flames

There are a range of flame options available for freestanding electric fireplaces that fit your home's style. Some utilize a chemical mix that rises from one point, but do not have the chaotic look of real wood log flames while others are based on cutting-edge LED technology that gives the flames a lifelike movement and unpredictability. MagikFlame uses a new innovation called Hybrid-FX, which cycles the flames, ember bed and accent lighting through a variety of colors to create a dazzling experience.

To make things even more flexible There are models available in left-corner, right-corner or three-sided bay configurations to fit different configurations. You can also find single-sided wall-mounted models that can be used as partially or built-in electric fireplaces. These are great for easy and quick installation.

Fuel bed

The fuel bed associated with the floor standing electric fire is the material that is flammable that covers the flames and is responsible for their combustion. The fuel bed is comprised of a variety materials, like real coals or log effect. It can also be customized to fit your design. A variety of factors affect the fuel bed such as its size, shape and structure, which can significantly impact the combustion of the flames.

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

However, the structure of natural fuel beds in wildland ecosystems is extremely complex, and their characteristics vary significantly over time and across space. To capture this variability, the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was created to categorize fuelbeds and identify their potential effects on fire behavior. Fuelbeds classified by FCCS are divided into six strata: canopy, shrubs nonwoody fuels woody fuels litter-lichen-moss. The resulting attributes, as summarized by the Consume 4.2 calculator embedded within the FFT software are helpful for mapping fuelbeds. They can also be used as inputs to models for predicting fire behaviour.

A study of the dimensional structure of each of the six types of fuelbed was carried out to compare the rate of spread of fire in windy and non-windy weather. This led to the formation of dimensionless groups for each of the relevant variables: dimensionless spread rate of fire and dimensionless size of the fuel particle and moisture content and dimensionless depth of the fuel bed or the fuel loading density and dimensionless wind speed and angle of inclination. Dimensionless correlations based on the resulting groups correlated the rate of spread of fire in wind and no-wind conditions reliably. It is important to remember that these correlatives in the dimensionless were based solely on experimental data that covered a very limited range of natural fuel types that are found in wildland areas.
