Floor Standing Electric Fire A floor-standing electric fire is a fireplace that sits on the ground rather than being built into walls. All of them have the appearance of flames while generating heat. They are able to be used with a log, coal or modern pebble fuel bed. Some also have an option for remote control which is ideal for those who prefer to control the settings from a distance. They are CSA-certified and safe to use with children in the room. Features Electric fires that stand alone can bring a classic look to any room. They are easy to install and take up little space. There are many styles to pick from and the majority of them have a black surround to create an impressive appearance. Choose a log or coal effect fuel bed to add to the authentic feel or choose a coloured pebble effect to make things more interesting. You can also opt to have an electric fire built into your fireplace mantel. They are a more durable option than wall-mounted units and allow you to add additional furniture to store your items below the unit, like sideboard cabinets or credenzas. They come in a variety of finishes to match any decor, and some come with glass panels or a mirrored finish for a more modern appearance. Built to fit into your fireplace, an electric insert is the perfect way to update your home's design without spending too much money. They are also an energy-efficient way to heat your home since they don't require chimney or vents. Instead freestanding fires connect directly to the wall and generate up to 4700 BTUs of heat. Installation If you're looking for a chic economical and affordable method to add a fireplace your home without the need for a chimney or flue, a freestanding electric fireplace could be the perfect option. Whether you're after something to warm up your living space or to add a touch of home to your guest bedroom, there's an excellent choice of electric fireplaces to pick from at Direct Fireplaces. We offer a wide selection of electric fires, both traditional and contemporary, from leading brands like Be Modern, Dimplex, and Celsi. All of our products are backed by a complete guarantee, and financing options are available. With an extensive range of sizes and finishes You're sure to find the ideal electric fireplace for your home. We also have a wide assortment of accessories, including hearths and back panel so you can personalize your fireplace to suit your needs. Wall-mounted electric fires are becoming more popular as a multi-purpose and easy way of adding an attractive accent to your home. Installing them is easy since they don't require an chimney or flue. However, it's important to follow the directions and have some essential tools on the premises. Depending on the model you pick, it may be necessary to drill holes in your wall and install a bracket. Before drilling, it's a great idea to use a stud-finder and a spirit level to ensure you're not drilling into anything that is important. Once you have the wall bracket in place, it's time to fit your fire. You can either put the fire in the box and then secure it to the bracket, or you can put the firebox in place with the screen in a single unit. If you are not confident doing it yourself We recommend hiring an electrician. Enjoy your new flame when you're done! Always connect your electric fireplace to a designated socket, rather than using an extension cord. This will help you to ensure the safety of your electric fireplace and prevent future problems with your electrical supply. Flames There are a variety of flame options for freestanding electric fireplaces to fit your home's style. Some electric fires use chemical mixtures that are released from one point and lacks the chaotic appearance of log flames made of wood. Others are based on LED technology which creates realistic flames and unpredictable. MagikFlame utilizes a brand new technology called Hybrid-FX, which cycles the flames, ember bed and accent lighting through a spectrum of colors to create an immersive experience. For even more flexibility There are models available in right-corner, left-corner or three-sided bay configurations to suit different installation. You can also find wall-mounted models that are single-sided and work well as electric fireplaces that are partly or completely recessible. They are perfect for quick and simple installation. Fuel bed The fuel bed is the material that ignites surrounding the flames of a floor-standing electric fire and is responsible for the combustion. The fuel bed is comprised of a variety of materials such as log effect or real coals, which can be adjusted to match your decor. A variety of factors affect the shape of the fuel bed, such as its shape, size and structure, which could influence the combustion of the flames. In the study of fuel beds made of pine needles, Anderson (1964) observed that the rate of spread of fire was independent of the depth of the fuel beyond the threshold of 0.0762 meters (with an upward relationship below this threshold). This observation is in line with earlier observations made by Catchpole and other researchers, and also observations from the vast field of fire behavior studies that Rothermel is the leader of. The structure of fuel beds in wildland areas is complicated and their characteristics change over time and in different locations. To capture this variability the Fuel Characteristic Classification System (FCCS) was developed to categorize fuelbeds, and identify the potential impact they have on fire behavior. Fuelbeds classified by FCCS are grouped into six strata that include: shrubs, canopy, nonwoody fuels that are woody, litter-lichen-moss. The resulting attributes summarized by the Consume 4.2 calculator built into the FFT software are useful to map fuelbeds and could be used as inputs to models for predicting fire behaviour. For each of the six types of fuelbeds An analysis of dimensionality was carried out to correlate the spread rate of fire under wind and non-wind conditions. This led to the development of dimensionless groups based on each of the variables: dimensionless spread rate, dimensionless size of fuel particles and moisture content dimensions dimensionless fuel bed density, or fuel loading density, and dimensions dimensionless wind speed. The dimensionless correlations that were derived from the groups produced correlated the rate at which fire spread in wind and non-wind conditions quite consistently. However, it is important to remember that these dimensionless correlations were based on experiments data that covered only a very small portion of the range of natural fuel types that are found in wildland habitats.
