Floor Standing Electric Fire
The floor standing electric fireplace is a type of fireplace which stands on the ground instead of being built into a brick wall. All of them give the appearance of flames while generating heat. They can be used with a log, coal or modern pebble fuel bed.
Certain models come with an remote control that lets you to alter the settings from the distance. They are approved by the CSA and safe to use with children in the room.

Electric fires that stand on their own can add a classic aesthetic to any room. They are simple to set up and require little space. There are a variety of styles available to choose from and the majority of them have an all-black surround to create an impressive effect. Choose a coal, log or pebble effect fuel bed to get an authentic feeling.
You can also opt for a built-in electric fire which can be integrated into the fireplace mantel. These provide a more permanent option than wall-mounted ones, and allow for additional storage furniture like sideboard cabinets or credenzas that can be placed below the unit. They are available in a variety of finishes that will suit any decor. Some come with a mirrored or glass panel finishes for a contemporary style.
It is designed to fit in with your existing fireplace A fireplace insert with an electric component is the ideal way to upgrade your current interior design without spending too much money. These inserts are also an energy-efficient method of heating your home, as they don't require a chimney or vents. Instead they connect directly to the wall and produce up to 4700 BTUs of heat.
Installation
If you're looking to find a stylish economical and affordable method of adding a fireplace your home without the requirement for a chimney or flue, a freestanding electric fireplace could be the ideal choice. Direct Fireplaces offers a wide range 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 range of contemporary and traditional electric fires from the top brands, including Be Modern, Dimplex and Celsi. All of our products are backed by a comprehensive guarantee and financing options are also available.
With a variety of finishes and sizes available, you're sure to find the ideal electric fireplace for your home. We also offer a wide range of accessories such as hearths and back panel to allow you to personalize your fireplace to suit your needs.
Electric wall-mounted fireplaces are a great way to add an unique feature to your home. They are simple to install and versatile. Because they don't require chimney or flue, installing them is relatively simple but it's essential to follow the guidelines of the manufacturer and have the necessary tools in your arsenal.
Depending on the model you pick, you may need to drill holes into your wall and then fix a wall bracket into place. It's a good idea to utilize a spirit level and a stud finder before drilling to ensure you're not drilling into anything that could be of importance.
Once you have the wall bracket in place It's time to install your fire. You can either put the fire inside the firebox, and then attach it to the bracket, or you can mount the firebox with the screen as a whole unit. If you are not confident doing this on your own we suggest hiring an electrician.
Once you're done you can sit back and enjoy your new fire! Be sure to connect your electric fire to an appropriate power socket instead of an extension cable. This will ensure that your fire is safe and can help avoid any issues with your power supply in the future.
Flames
There are a variety of flame options for freestanding electric fireplaces that match your interior design. Some electric fires employ a chemical mixture that is produced by 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 cycle the flames along with the ember bed, accent lighting through a spectrum of colors to create an enthralling experience.
Many models are available with left-corner, corner-right or three-sided bay configurations for more flexibility. There are also wall-mounted models that are single-sided and work well as electric fireplaces that are either partially or fully recessed. They are perfect for quick and simple installation.
Fuel bed
The fuel bed associated with the floor standing electric fire is the material that is flammable that surrounds the flames and is responsible for their combustion. The fuel bed can be constructed from a variety of materials, such as log effect or real coals. It can also be customised to fit your decor. The fuel bed is influenced by several factors, including its size, shape and structure. They can have a significant impact on the flames.
Anderson (1964) in a study on pine needle fuel beds, observed that fire spread rates were independent of fuel depth over a threshold of 0.0762m (with positive correlation below this threshold). This observation was in line with earlier observations in studies on fire in the crib conducted by Catchpole and others and observations from the vast study of fire behaviour of which Rothermel is the most well-known.
However the structure of natural fuel beds in wildland habitats is extremely complex, and their characteristics vary in a wide range of time and space. To help capture this variability to better understand this, the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was created to categorize fuelbeds and identify the potential impact they have on fire behavior. FCCS fuelbeds are categorized into six strata; canopy, shrubs nonwoody fuels, woody litter-lichen-moss. The attributes resulting from the Consume 4.2 calculator embedded within the FFT software are helpful to map fuelbeds and could be used as input to models for prediction of fire behaviour.
A dimension analysis of each of the six types of fuelbeds was performed to correlate the rate that fire spreads in windy and non-windy conditions. This led to the creation of dimensionless groups for each of the pertinent variables including dimensionless fire rate of spread and dimensionless size of the fuel particle and moisture content and dimensionless depth of the fuel bed or fuel loading density and dimensionless wind speed and angle of inclination. The dimensionless correlations based upon the groups produced correlations between the rate at which fire spread in wind and non-wind conditions quite consistently. It is important to note that these correlatives in the dimensionless were based on only experimental data which covered a very limited range of natural fuel types that are found in wildland regions.
