Inset vs wall-hung
Media wall electric fires are offered in two basic designs: wall-mounted and inset. Inset models, such as the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are recessed into the wall and provide a smooth finish, blending in with the wall for a clean appearance. However, inset electric fireplaces require a pre-existing opening and are a little more expensive than their freestanding counterparts.
The best wall electric media fires are wall-hung, such as the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL. They are easy to set up and don't require an existing opening in the wall because they don't have to be recessed into the wall. Some models come in various finishes and trims which can be customised to match your decor. Despite this, wall-hung models can be a little slender from the wall, which means they're not suitable for all room designs. They can also hinder air flow in smaller rooms because they tend to disperse heat upwards instead of across the space.

Modern electric fires for media walls are fixed to the wall and are either inset or freestanding depending on the style you select. Fireplaces And Stoves are designed to be inserted into the fireplace opening making it simpler to install and can look more unified with your living spaces. Freestanding fires, such as the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville are great for those who do not have a fireplace recess. They can also be moved from room to room to make it more flexible.
Whatever method of installation you choose, make sure the fire is located close to a power socket to allow you to plug it in and test all functions prior to fitting. As per regulations, you'll want to place the fire away from combustible material.
