10 Healthy Floor Standing Electric Fire Habits Floor Standing Electric Fire

A floor standing electric fire is a fireplace that sits on the ground rather than being built into walls. They all give the illusion of flames, while also producing heat. They can be utilized 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 alter the settings from the distance. They are approved by the CSA and safe to use with children in the room.

Features


Electric fires that stand by themselves can add a classic aesthetic to any room. They are easy to install and take up a small amount of space. There are a variety of designs to pick from, with most having a black stove surround to create a truly striking look. Choose a log or coal effect fuel bed to give the authentic feel or go for a coloured pebble effect to make things more interesting.

Fireplaces And Stove can also choose to have an electric fire built inside your fireplace mantel. They offer a more durable solution than wall-mounted options and permit additional storage furniture like sideboard cabinets or credenzas to be placed beneath the unit. They are available in a variety of finishes that can be matched to any decor, and some come with glass panels or a mirrored finish for a more modern appearance.

Built to fit into your fireplace, an electric insert is the perfect way to improve your interior design without spending too much money. They're also a great method to achieve a more energy-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

If you're looking for a stylish cost-effective and practical method of adding a fireplace to your home without the necessity of a chimney or flue, a freestanding electric fire could be the ideal choice. Direct Fireplaces has a wide selection of electric fires that can be used to heat your living space, or to add a warm touch to your guest room.

We have a variety of electric fires that are both contemporary and traditional and from top brands such as Be Modern, Dimplex, and Celsi. All of our products are protected by a comprehensive guarantee and financing options are available.

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

Wall-mounted electric fires are becoming popular as a multi-purpose and easy method of adding an attractive addition to your home. Installing them is simple as they don't need chimneys or flues. But, it's crucial to follow the directions and have the necessary tools on your side.

Depending on the model you select depending on the model you choose, you may have to drill holes into your wall to fix a wall bracket into place. Before drilling, it's a good idea to use a stud finder and a spirit level to make sure you are not drilling into something that is crucial.

Once you have the wall bracket in place, it's time to fit your fire. You can either place the fire in the box and then connect it to the bracket, or you can put the firebox in place together with the screen as a complete unit. If you're not sure about doing this yourself, we recommend hiring an electrician.

Enjoy your new fire once you're done! Always plug your electric fireplace into an appropriate socket instead of using an extension cord. This will ensure that your fire is secure and can help avoid any issues with your electricity supply in the future.

Flames

Freestanding electric fires come with a range of flame styles to match your personal style. Certain electric fires utilize an organic mixture of chemicals that is released from only one 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 utilizes a brand new technology called Hybrid-FX, which reverberates the flames as well as the ember bed and accent lighting through a variety of colors to create an enthralling experience.

Many models are available with corner-right, left-corner or three-sided bays for even greater flexibility. There are also single-sided wall mounted models that work as partially or built-in electric fireplaces. These are perfect for easy and quick installation.

Fuel bed

The fuel bed that is used in a floor standing electric fire is the material that is flammable that covers the flames and is responsible for their combustion. The fuel bed is made up of a variety of materials, including log effect or real coals, which can be adjusted to fit your decor. The fuel bed is influenced by several factors, including its shape, size, and structure. These could have a significant effect on the flames.

In a study of pine needle fuel beds, Anderson (1964) observed that fire spread rate was independent of the depth of the fuel over a threshold of 0.0762 meters (with a positive relationship below this depth threshold). This observation was in accordance with earlier observations made by Catchpole and other researchers, as well as observations from the extensive field on fire behavior research that Rothermel is the leader of.

The structure of fuel beds in wildland areas is complex and their characteristics change with time and in different locations. In an effort to recognize this variation to better understand this, the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was developed to categorize fuelbeds, and identify their potential impacts 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 summarized by Consume 4.2 which is included in the FFT software, can be useful in mapping fuelbeds. They can be incorporated into models for fire behaviour predictions.

For each of the six types A dimensional analysis was carried out to determine the rate of spread of fire under wind and non-wind conditions. This resulted in the generation of dimensionless groups for each of the relevant variables that include dimensionless spread rate of fire, dimensionless fuel particle size and moisture content and dimensionless depth of the fuel bed or fuel loading density and dimensionless wind speed and angle of inclination. Dimensionless correlations using the groups that were created correlated the spread rate of fire with wind and non-wind conditions quite easily. However it is important to note that these correlations were based on experiments data that covered only a very small portion of the range of natural fuel types found in wildland environments.
