How to Build a Fire Media Wall

A fire media wall can add a cosy feature to your home. They can be built into the wall using studs or brackets.

Certain wall-mounted electric fireplaces for media come with smart integration. This lets you control the output of heat, flame effects, and lighting using your smartphone or tablet. Some have even scheduling options.

Easy to install

There are a few things to take into consideration when creating a media wall in your home. Firstly, you will have to decide where the wall will be placed in your home. It should be located in a location that you feel content watching TV or enjoying the warmth of your fire. The ideal location will also provide the best viewing angles within the room. Once you've decided on the best location, you can begin to make the necessary measurements and build the frame. The next step is to decide on the finishing details. For instance, some choose to add a skirting board to their media walls, so that they match the rest of the decor. Some people choose to remove it and allow the wall to stand apart on its own.

Depending on the kind of electric fireplace you're planning to install the wall you're planning to install, it may require a bit more work than other types of fireplaces. Inset media wall fireplaces (such the Vision Futura 1500 and Evonic Halo 1500XT) require more sophisticated construction skills and tools. However it doesn't mean that they aren't a possibility for an average DIYer.

When installing a media-wall it is important to think about the location of your electrical components. You will need to ensure your wall has at least two plug sockets that are one for the fireplace and the other for the TV. So you'll need to determine where these will be beforehand. Some people prefer to put the sockets in the wall frame with studs while others prefer to keep them near the fireplace and TV.

Once you have constructed your media wall, it is essential to sand the plasterboard. This will conceal the screws that were used to keep it in place, and provide a smooth painting surface. It is possible to hire an expert to plaster your home if you're not sure.

Ideal for smaller rooms

A media wall offers an elegant design that's ideal for smaller living spaces. The combination of the TV, electric fireplace and storage space integrated into one space will maximize the space in your space without the requirement for separate fireplaces or a bulky surround. You can even choose an individual design that is specific to your home and incorporates the latest technologies such as multi-room audio and intelligent lighting.

A bespoke media wall can also be built around the fire you choose and adds an individual design feature to your space. You can choose from a wide range of sizes and styles to find the perfect fire for your media installation. If you want a minimalistic style, go for an electric fire that is recessed like the Elfa. Or, if you're looking to create an inviting corner wall for your TV, a corner wall with a three-sided fireplace such as the Gazco 150RW, is ideal.

Wall-hung fires like the DRU Virtuo 180/3 sided fire media wall Evolve Electric Fire provide a more contemporary aesthetic, ideal for contemporary living spaces. They produce a wood-crackling noise and have a realistic log appearance. You can also pick a media wall model with an in-built in media wall fire heat-up feature that allows warmth to be distributed more evenly and efficiently.

Low maintenance is another advantage of using an electric wall fire for your media walls. Wall-mounted fires are more practical than traditional fireplaces as they don't require chimneys, and they can be installed anywhere. They are also safer for homes with children or pets since they don't create real flames, and they don't emit an ash. And because they're electric there's no chance of a rogue flame leaking through the wall or of smoke accumulating on furniture.

Many homeowners go beyond the basic idea of mounting their TV to a flat surface. They design custom frameworks to hide cables, incorporate storage solutions, and integrate appliances such as a TV, soundbar, and an electric fireplace. The majority of these installations are designed to help separate large open-plan spaces or simply add a dramatic focal feature to the room. They can be decorated with beautiful wallpapers or mirrored panels which serve as mirrors when the TV is off. This will lighten your space and make it feel more spacious.

Aesthetically pleasing

Media wall fires are a great alternative to traditional fireplaces which are typically only used in living rooms. They are also great for anyone looking to add a chic feature to their home. Media wall fires are the newest in electric fireplaces that use LED lighting to create real flame effects. They have a variety of options to let you select between a warm cozy glow or a lively burning fire. Some models have a "flame-only" setting that allows you to enjoy the stunning images without raising the temperature, making them more eco-friendly and cost-effective.

Media walls are modern and designed to complement your home decor. They are a focal point which attracts attention. They are commonly utilized in modern homes and can add a touch of style to any room that ranges from a sleek minimalist look to an earthy rustic vibe. A striking wood-panelled, geometric wall is an excellent illustration of a striking style that can be accentuated with an electric media wall fireplace like the Gazco eReflex 195RW to add warmth and charm to the room.

A lot of media walls made of electric are slimmer and smaller and allow you to maximize the space available in your home. They are perfect for people who are looking to set up a media wall in a smaller room as they can be concealed behind the TV to create minimalist, quiet and modern look. The majority of them produce less than 2kW, making them more energy efficient than traditional gas fireplaces.

It is important to consider the design of your media wall in a holistic manner and think about how your electric fire will compliment your television as well as any other custom features you might have in mind. To achieve a balanced look, your electric fire should not be more than one-third of the height of the wall it is mounted on. It is also important to ensure that you have the necessary clearance between the top and bottom of your electric fire, since the clearance will differ based on the model you choose.

Media wall fire installation is a project that is achievable by anyone who have basic carpentry skills and a willingness to learn. However, it is advisable to choose an experienced HETAS approved installer, such as Something Different, who will ensure that all safety precautions are followed and the proper clearance from the flammable materials is maintained.

Versatile

Certain advanced models come with options for scheduling that allow you to schedule the fire to go off prior to your arrival home, and then turn it off when you go to bed.
