Free Standing Electric Fireplaces

With a free-standing model, you won't need to cut any holes in your walls. Mounting brackets are usually provided with the item, and the specifications will tell you the distance between them.

Wall-Mounted

When it is about electric fireplaces, wall fireplace-mounted options are an excellent choice for those who want to put their fireplace in a wall without cutting the walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces come with mounting brackets, which permit you to put the fireplace directly onto the wall in the same way as a flat-screen television or picture. They can be installed yourself, however you may require a second pair in the event that the fireplace is big. They are also ideal for those who rent their homes since they are easy to remove when it comes time to move, and they don't leave a hole in the wall.

Most electric fireplaces that are wall-mounted can be placed into a wall recess so that they are completely flush with the wall for a sleek look or to incorporate them into the recession in part to add depth. Some models, like the Napoleon Allure Vertical Series come with a trim skirt to conceal the protrusion from the firebox. You can also alter these units' looks by selecting different flame and background colors to complement your decor.

The primary drawback of a wall-mounted, freestanding electric fireplace is that it occupies floor space, and because there is no option of putting it in the wall, they tend to be a bit further than an ordinary freestanding model with a mantel. This is not a major disadvantage and should be considered when choosing the best kind of fireplace for you.

A wall-mounted electric fireplace can be installed in any room of your home. This means that you can add a bit of ambiance to your living room as well as creating a great focal point and providing a warm place for family and friends to gather together. You can also mount one in your bedroom or office to create a relaxing atmosphere while you work or relax.

Mantel

These are excellent options for those who do not wish to alter their living spaces or don't have enough space for a mantel or recessed unit.
