How Free Standing Fires Can Transform Your Home

Free standing fires are a great way to add a warm and welcoming ambience to your home. They are especially helpful for homes that do not have an inbuilt fireplace.

Make sure to use a concrete pad that is at minimum 4-8" thick when building your fire pit. This will stop the fire from causing damage to the surrounding walls.

Easy to install

A free-standing fireplace can change the appearance of a space. It is also easy to set up. It is important to know that a wall-mounted fireplace should not be placed directly on the ground. Instead, it must be positioned on the top of a masonry or a timber platform. You should also make sure that the platform is clear of any combustible material.

If you're a skilled DIYer, you can easily mount a freestanding electric fireplace in your home. These fireplaces are an excellent alternative to traditional gas and wood fireplaces, yet they offer the warmth of a traditional fireplace without the hassle.

Easy to maintain

The beauty of a free-standing fire is that there's no chimney or flue to worry about which allows you to enjoy your fireplace with the least amount of effort. A majority of our Solution Fires are equipped with remote control, allowing you to switch between flame and heating effects at the touch of the button.

Wood burning fires require some regular maintenance and upkeep. You'll need to clean the ash disposal regularly and make sure the stove is venting properly. Check that the ash dump flows smoothly and that there aren't any obstructions or creosote deposits inside. You should also regularly clean the ember bed to prevent the build-up of dust. You can employ a soft cloth to clean the embers, or an attachment for a vacuum cleaner.

Electric fires are also very easy to maintain. You can wipe off any dust that may have accumulated on the ember bed or mirrors using an easy, lint-free standing modern electric fireplace cloth. You may have to clean the air intakes of your fireplace from time to time according to the amount of dust in your home. You can do this by taking off the fire glass and exposing the air inlets, which are typically located at the top of each side of your fire. You can then clean the air inlets using dry cloths or the nozzle of your vacuum cleaner.

Electric fires are also fantastic because they only emit heat when you turn them on. This means that you won't spend money heating the room prior to having to. Additionally, many Dimplex electric fires have room-sensing thermostat technology which constantly monitors the temperature of the room and adjusts the heating to eliminate uncomfortable and uncomfortable "room temperature swings".

Energy efficient

Free standing fireplaces are a great alternative for those who don't want to build a chimney but prefer a fire that is wood burning. It is also simple to set up and can be moved from one area to another. This is especially beneficial for those who want to alter or move the style of your home. This type of fireplace is an ideal choice for those who are concerned about the environment. This is due to the fact that it causes very little pollution and does not require the use of fossil fuels. Another benefit of a free-standing fireplace is that it doesn't require venting outside, which means that it is less likely to cause air quality issues.

Freestanding electric fireplaces aren't only attractive visually, but also very affordable both in terms of buying and operating costs. They are powered by electricity, in contrast to traditional fireplaces that use gas or coal. Gas fires can cost up to PS300 per year. To ensure you're not overpaying, select a model that has an energy efficiency rating of A or better.

The size of an electric fireplace is a major element in determining the price to operate it. A larger fire will require more power, which is why it is crucial to select the right size for your space. You'll be wasting time and money if you choose something that is too big.

There are many ways you can reduce the price of an electric fire:

First, make sure to burn only seasoned wood. This will make your fire as efficient as it can be, and last longer. You can also insulate your chimney to decrease the amount of energy your fireplace uses. Also, be sure to turn off your fireplace when you're not using it. Even just turning it off for an hour will save you a significant amount of money over the course of the year.

EcoSmart Fire bioethanol burners can be used to heat multiple rooms and are cost-effective. This is especially important for commercial spaces that have open floor plans. For example, a company called Flex Peninsula integrated an EcoSmart bioethanol burner into a contemporary swimming pool to create a dramatic tension between fire and water. This allowed them to achieve their goal of creating the space with a separate workspace in an otherwise open space.
