How to Combine a Media Wall and an Electric Fire Media walls are a new trend that is taking the home interiors industry by storm. They are custom stud wall frameworks that house integrated storage like shelves, cupboards or drawers and can even include appliances such as an electric fireplace. You can add a unique dimension to your wall of media with the Gazco eStudio 105R media wall electric fire. This beautiful fire is built into the wall to create a sleek in-depth look and gives stunning flame images with or without heat. TV Size A media wall is a beautiful method of integrating a flat-screen TV, electric fireplace, and bespoke storage into a living room decor. It's common for these wall stud installations to incorporate shelves, cabinets and drawers alongside the TV, creating a fully customised entertainment centre. The electric fire is often the focal point of a media-wall. The right size of TV for this specific installation requires careful evaluation. You want a screen that's large enough to be able to be awe-inspiring, but not so large that it dwarfs the fire or takes over the room. When determining what TV screen size will work best for your media wall, start with the dimensions of the wall where you plan to install the fireplace and TV. Sketch it out to scale including doors, windows, or furniture arrangements. This will give you the maximum width and height that you can design media walls. It's also important to think about how you intend to use the TV and electric fire as a pair. Film lovers may prefer larger screens for a cinematic viewing experience, whereas those who only use the TV for entertainment purposes will usually be able to do with a smaller screen. If you are planning to upgrade your TV in the near future, choosing an option that is at the lower end of the spectrum will help keep your media wall current as technology advances. This can help you avoid the hassle of having to redesign your custom-designed installation should you decide to upgrade your TV.

Fireplace Size Media walls are the latest trend in interior design, and a lot of homeowners are taking this idea of a feature wall to the next level by incorporating an electric fireplace in the design. The result is a stunning centerpiece that provides the warmth and appeal. There are several things to think about when selecting an electric fire for your media wall and one of the most important factors is the fireplace size. The fireplace must be big enough to accommodate a TV, which will be placed directly above the fire. Ideal is to select an electric fireplace that is the same size as your TV. This will create a neat and tidy look that blends seamlessly into the recess of your TV. It is possible to have the fireplace slightly larger than your TV and this is a good idea too. This kind of setup is very popular with the Gazco eStudio. It provides a wide range of glass fitting options, so you can choose what works best for your home. The Valor LEX2-S is a great option for this kind of installation. It includes blanking plates that allow you to keep either the right or left side of the fire open while enclosing another side. This lets you choose which side of the fireplace you would like to show off and lets you turn off the heat and enjoy the stunning flame effect when you don't require any additional warmth. Decorative Elements It's common for homeowners to construct custom wall studs that hide AV equipment such as TVs and soundbars, along with appliances like an electric fireplace, for an aesthetically pleasing appearance. These wall structures can be used to conceal aerial cables, power cables and more, resulting in a sleek, clean look that is easy to maintain.

It can be controlled via the remote handset of your electric fireplace. Heating is a necessity A media wall isn't just a trendy feature for your home, it's also a great option to combine a TV with an electric fire in a elegant installation. Some go further and include a soundbar that is integrated with shelving, storage and walls made of studs. Consider an inset electric fireplace that has built-in heating for a more stylish look. This is an excellent option for a built-in TV since you can place the electric fireplace directly beneath the screen. You don't need to worry about ugly cables and combustible material. A majority of inset electric fireplaces have a 'flame effect only' setting that allows you to enjoy the mesmerising visual effects of dancing flames without producing any heat. Others have a variety of settings that let you control the intensity of the flames and set an inviting or lively ambience. You can also select the 'heat only' option that provides gentle background warmth, ideal for those looking to add a little extra warmth to their living space without racking up energy bills. You can enhance your wall with a smart fireplace that is controlled by remote or app. These are able to reduce the flame effect and alter the heat. Certain models also keep a set temperature in the room. Another useful feature is the Open Window Detection. It detects abrupt drops in temperature when an exterior door or window is left open. The fire then automatically reduces or shuts off its output in order to conserve energy. Certain inset electric fireplaces include a an elegant plug socket that can be recessed to allow you to hide cables. Fireplaces & Stoves makes it easier for you to reach the plug sockets. One option is the Gazco eStudio 85R, which has an elegant concealed power point and a clever cable tidy solution that stops cables from blocking the plug.
