The Best Electric Fires For Media Walls
If you're looking for a way to bring warmth, atmosphere and a focal point for your media wall, you should consider an electric fire. The majority of them utilize LED lights to create stunning flame effects, in addition to offering lower heat output than traditional fireplaces.
They also have features such as open window detection and ambient light kits that can be synced with your music to create a stunning visual experience.

They use less energy and can help you save money by reducing the output of heat to what you need. The 'flame only' setting means you can enjoy the hypnotic dance of flames without having to increase the heating, perfect for rooms that don't need the most heat.
Inset vs wall-hung
media wall with built in fire wall electric fires are available in two main styles: wall-mounted and inset. Inset models such as the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are built into walls with a flush-finish that blends seamlessly into the walls surrounding it. Inset electric fireplaces can be more expensive and require an opening already in place.
The best wall electric media fires are wall-hung, like the Elgin & Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL. They are easy to install and don't require an existing opening in the wall because they aren't recessed into the wall. Some models come in various finishes and trims which can be customised to match your decor. However, wall-hung models can protrude slightly from the wall, so they may not be suitable for every room. They can also restrict air flow in smaller rooms since they are likely to radiate heat upwards rather than across the space.
3. Vision Futura 1500
Electric fires can be the perfect finishing touch for a media wall. They create an eye-catching focal point that is captivating and enjoyable to be in front of. Modern fires come with a variety of innovative features to enhance your home, such as a flame effect-only setting that saves energy and the ability to blow cool air that is perfect for hot summer evenings.
A media wall is a space dedicated to your entertainment system. It could be a TV, sound system or other devices that you regularly use. This kind of space is a contemporary response to the entertainment centers of the past. It can provide a sleek, organised aesthetic while also making floor space available in the room.
Most modern electric fireplaces for media walls are fixed to the wall and can be either inset or freestanding depending on the style you select. Inset fires are designed to be inserted into the opening of a fireplace which makes it much easier to install and look more unified with your living spaces. Freestanding fires, like the Gallery Collection Hopton or Dimplex Danville, are perfect for those who don't have a fireplace recess. They can also be moved from room to room to allow for greater flexibility.
Whatever method of installation you choose, make sure the fire is located close to a power socket so that you can connect it and test the functions prior to fitting. You'll also want to locate the fire away from flammable materials, as per regulations.
Keep in mind that most electric fires for media walls provide a low heat output and are best used as supplementary heating to your central heating systems. They are not suited for heating large spaces, and can only warm a room. Some models come with a handy remote control with a variety of heating settings and backlighting options to suit your mood and the ambience.
4. Evonic Halo 1500 XT
Media wall electric fireplaces are an ideal solution for those with small space. Instead of having to bring in logs or mess with gas lines, these fires are powered by electricity, and provide stunning flames that you can control from the comfort of your sofa. They can provide enough warmth to make a room cozier and less chilly.
They are available in various sizes that allows you to pick the one that best suits your wall. The majority are designed to be inset into a recess or cavity but some are mounted directly on the wall to create an elegant look. Inset models tend to provide better heat distribution since they do not block a chimney.
If you choose a front-mounted Evonic Halo 1500 XT model (formerly Lita), it features an extended flame image to give visual depth and increase its aesthetic appeal. The range's smart integration feature is another plus which lets you control the fire from your phone or tablet via an app. This is beneficial if you are away from home or on the go, as it helps to conserve energy.
