It is commonplace for these stud wall framework installations to include shelves, cupboards and drawers along with the TV, creating a fully customised entertainment centre. For many, the focal point of a media wall is an elegant electric fire. The right TV size is important for this custom installation. You want a screen that's large enough to be able to be awe-inspiring, but not so large that it takes over the fireplace or overpowers the room.<br /><br /><br /><br />When determining what TV screen size will work best for your media wall, start with the dimensions of the wall in which you're planning to put the fireplace and TV. Sketch this to scale including doors, windows, or furniture arrangements. This will give you the maximum width and height parameters within which you can create your media wall.<br /><br />It is also essential to think about the way you plan to use the television and electric fire together. Film lovers may prefer a large screen to enjoy a cinematic viewing experience, while those who use the TV for entertainment purposes are often able to get by with a smaller model.<br /><br />If you're planning to buy an additional TV in the near future, opting for one towards the lower end of your desired range can help keep your media wall from becoming outdated as technology advances. <a href="https://rentry.co/u3g6vm2t">fireplace media wall</a> will prevent you from having to redo your custom installation if your TV's model changes.<br /><br />Prestige Alpha 50 is a pre-built mediawall featuring 50-inches of Spectrum Series 3-sided fire.

Many homeowners choose to take this concept to the next level by installing an electric fireplace. The result is a stunning focal point that looks great and adds aesthetic appeal and warmth to the room.<br /><br />When selecting an electric fireplace to be used as a wall for your media, there are several things to consider. One of the most important factors is the size of the fireplace. The fireplace must be big enough to accommodate a TV which will be placed directly above the fire.<br /><br />The best choice is to choose an electric fireplace that has a similar width to your TV. This will give a neat, tidy look to the fireplace since it is seamlessly integrated into the recess of your TV. It is also possible to put in a fireplace slightly wider than the TV. This can be done too. This kind of fireplace is very popular with the Gazco eStudio. It offers a variety of glass fitting options, so you can choose what is the best fit for your home.<br /><br />The Valor LEX2-S is another excellent choice for this type of installation. It has blanking plates that permit you to keep either the left or right side of the fire open whilst enclosing the opposite side.

Some go even further and include a soundbar with integrated shelving, storage, and stud walls. Consider an inset electric fireplace with built-in heat for a more sophisticated design. This makes it a great option for TVs with built-ins and enables you to install the electric fire directly under your screen, without the need for unsightly cables or burning materials.<br /><br />Many inset electric fires have a 'flame effect only setting that lets you enjoy the mesmerising visual effects of dancing flames without generating any heat. Others have a variety of settings that let you control the intensity of the flames and set a relaxing or vibrant ambience. You can also select a 'heat only' setting that provides gentle background warmth, which is ideal for those who want to add some warmth to their living spaces without racking up energy bills.<br /><br />You can improve your media wall by incorporating smart fireplaces that can be operated by remote or an app. You can utilize these to dim the flame effects, and change the temperature up or down, and some models can even maintain a preset room temperature. Open window detection is a useful feature that detects abrupt drops in temperature that indicate that an external door or window that has been left open. The fire will then automatically reduce or stop its output to save energy.<br /><br />To keep things in order, some inset electric fires can be fitted with a concealed power point that hides away cables and allows you to access the plug sockets. One option is the Gazco eStudio 105R, which features a handy concealed power point and a clever cable tidy solution that stops cables from blocking the plug. It is essential to verify your electrical setup before installing a media wall, however, because you might require relocating plug sockets or install new ones to provide power to your TV and electric fire.<br /><br />
