How to Build a Fire Media Wall

A fireplace media wall is an ideal option to bring warmth and comfort to your home. They can be built in to a stud-wall or hung using brackets.

Some wall electric fireplaces with media come with smart integration. This lets you manage the heat output as well as flame effects and lighting using your smartphone or tablet. Some come with scheduling options.

Easy to install

When you are considering building a fire media wall in your home, there are several factors you will have to take into consideration. First, you must determine the location of the wall in your home. It should be located in a location that you feel content watching TV or enjoying the warmth of your fireplace. The location should also offer the best viewing angles for your room. After you've chosen the place, you can begin to measure and build the frame. Then you will need to choose the final elements. Some people add skirting boards to their media wall with electric fireplace walls to match the design of the room. Some people choose to remove it leaving the media wall to stand out on its own.

Based on the kind of electric fireplace you're planning to install the media wall could require a bit more work than other types of fireplaces. For instance, inset media wall fires (such as the Vision Futura 1500 or Evonic Halo 1500 XT) need to be installed in the wall or hollowed out of it, which requires more extensive tools and construction skills. However this doesn't mean they can't be installed by the average DIYer.

Another important factor to consider when constructing a media wall is where to put your electrical components. You'll require at least two sockets for plugs on your wall for your media one for TV and one for the fire. Therefore, you'll need to plan ahead. Some people prefer to put sockets inside the wall frame that is studs, while others prefer keeping them close to the fireplace and TV.

After you have constructed your media wall, it's important to skim over the plasterboard. This will hide the screws that were used to keep it in place, and will create an even painting surface. You can hire an expert to plaster your home if you're not sure.

Ideal for smaller rooms

A panoramic media wall fire wall is a sleek design that is perfect for small living spaces. The combination of the TV, electric fireplace and storage space integrated into one space allows you to maximize your space without the necessity of a separate fireplace and media wall suite or bulky surround. You can select a style that is specifically tailored to your personal preferences and includes the latest technologies such as multi room audio and smart lighting.

You can also design a bespoke media wall around the electric fire of choice, adding an individual touch to your space. With a range of sizes and styles to choose from, you'll be able to find the right fire for your media wall. If you want a minimalistic style, consider an electric fire that is recessed like the Elfa. Or, if you are looking to create a cozy corner with a TV wall, a corner with a three-sided fireplace such as the Gazco 150RW, is ideal.

The DRU Virtuo180/3 Evolve Electric Fire, for example, offers a modern design that is perfect for modern living spaces. They have authentic log effects and create a realistic wood-cracking sound effect. You can also select a wall with a media wall that has back heat-up features that will distribute warmth more effectively and evenly.

Another benefit of using an electric wall-hung fire for your media wall is the low maintenance. In contrast to traditional fireplaces, wall-hung fires don't need chimneys and can be installed almost anywhere. They're also safer for homes with children or pets because they don't generate real flames, and they don't emit ash. Electric heaters are more secure than gas heaters because they don't produce real flames or emit the ash.

While a media wall can be built in a simple way by mounting your TV on a flat wall many homeowners take the concept further. They design custom frames to conceal cables, integrate storage solutions, and incorporate appliances like a TV, soundbar, and electric fireplace. Often, these installations are created to help segment large open-plan spaces or simply provide a dramatic focal area to the space. They can be decorated with beautiful wallpapers or even mirrored panels that act as mirrors when the TV is off, bringing brightness to your room and making it feel more spacious.

Aesthetically pleasing

Media wall fires can be a fantastic alternative to traditional fireplaces which are typically only used in living rooms. They are also ideal for anyone looking to add a stylish feature to their home. Electric media wall fires are the newest in electric fireplaces that use LED lighting to create a realistic flame effect. They have multiple settings to allow you to select between a warm, cosy glow or a vibrant, roaring fire. Some models have a "flame-only" setting that lets you enjoy the stunning images without raising the temperature, which makes them eco-friendly and economical.

Media walls have a contemporary look and are designed to complement your interior decor, creating a focal point that draws attention. They are commonly used in modern homes and are able to improve any style, from a sleek minimalist design to an earthy rustic vibe. A wood-panelled, geometric design is an impressive illustration that can be enhanced by an electric media wall fireplace like the Gazco eReflex The 195RW. This will add warmth and charm to your home.

Many of the media walls that are electric are slimmer and smaller which allows you to maximize the space within your home. They are ideal for those who want to install a media-wall in a small space, since they can be hidden behind the television. They have an elegant, minimalist and discreet aesthetic. They also tend to be more energy efficient than traditional gas fireplaces with most models producing less than 2kW of heat.

Take into consideration the overall layout of your media wall and how your electric fireplace will complement your TV, as well as any other bespoke features that you may think of. For a balanced finish your electric fire should not exceed more than one-third of the height of the wall it's installed on. Make sure you have enough clearance above and beneath your electric fire. This will differ based on the model you choose.

Media wall fire installation is a task that is achievable by anyone with basic carpentry skills and a willingness to learn. However, it is best to choose a professional HETAS approved installer, such as Something Different, who will ensure that all safety precautions are followed and the correct clearance from flammable materials is maintained.

Multi-faceted

A media wall is an excellent option for any living room, lounge or bedroom, and it's not just about creating an eye-catching focal point. A well-designed wall can create a tranquil space for you and your loved ones to enjoy a relaxing time in. It also provides a perfect space for your TV and audio equipment as well as gaming consoles.

Install a fire in the wall of a media room to take it to the next step and make your home a new place. A lot of the top electric fireplaces can be used to build media walls, and provide the perfect balance between warmth, ambiance, and style. They also come with some unique features, like customisable visuals or authentic crackling sound.

There are models that have smart integration that allow you to control your fireplace from your smartphone or tablet through an app. This is helpful for those who aren't at home or you want to control your fireplace from afar. Certain models with advanced technology have the option of scheduling which allows you to schedule the fire to begin when you get home and turn it off when you go to sleep.

A wall-mounted media electric fireplace can also be set up as a false chimney, without the requirement for a flue or chimney. This makes it an economical way to add modern heating options to your home.

Wall-mounted and inset electric fireplaces are the two primary designs that can be installed on a media wall. Inset electric fireplaces, such as the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are designed to be recessed in the wall. This gives them a sleek and minimalist appearance. These are great for rooms with limited space or if you prefer an elegant style.

If you are considering the installation of a media wall in your home, it is recommended to first measure the space to make sure it's big enough to accommodate the electric fireplace you'd like to install. You can use masking tape to draw out the dimensions on the wall, and then compare the measurements to specifications for the product to find the most suitable match.
