Inset vs wall-hung
Media wall electric fires are offered in two basic styles: wall-mounted and inset. Inset models, like the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are recessed into the wall. They offer an elegant flush finish, merging into the wall for a clean appearance. Inset electric fireplaces can be more expensive and require an opening already in place.
The most effective media wall electric fires are wall-hung, like the Elgin and Hall Pryzm Arteon 3SL. They are easy to set up and don't require an opening in the wall because they aren't recessed into the wall. They are more flexible than inset electric fireplaces, with some models featuring a wide range of different finishes and trims to match your decor. Wall-mounted models are still able to protrude from the wall and not work for all styles of rooms. They can also restrict the flow of air in smaller rooms because they'll probably radiate heat upwards rather than across the space.

A media wall is a space dedicated to your entertainment setup. It may include 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 and can provide a sleek, well-organized look while also freeing up floor space in the room.
Modern electric fires can be placed on the wall, and based on the design, they can be inset or freestanding. Inset fires are designed to be placed partially in a fireplace opening. This makes them simpler to install and are more aesthetically pleasing in your living space. Freestanding fires such as the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are ideal for those who do not have a fireplace recess. They can be moved from room to room to make it more flexible.
Whatever method of installation you choose, make sure the fire is close to a power socket to allow you to connect it and test the functions prior to fitting. In More Tips with the regulations, you'll want to place the fire away from combustible material.
Remember that most electric fireplaces for wall use offer a small amount of heat and should be used to supplement your central heating system.
