There are some things to think about prior to purchasing an in-wall fireplace. Follow these tips to make the most out of your purchase.

Height

It might seem like an easy question, but determining the height of your fireplace is among the biggest decisions you will make. This is because the height of your fireplace will impact everything from how it will fit in a room to how easily it can be seen. The fireplace may appear odd when it is too high.

Electric fireplaces can be erected at different heights. For instance, a majority of people prefer to place their fireplaces at eye level from a sitting position. This usually requires a height of between 40 and 42 inches from the floor to the bottom of the fireplace. Some fireplaces are mounted under their TVs, which is an attractive option.

The height of your fireplace depends on several factors that include the length and size of the wall you want to put it on. The bigger a room and the bigger it is, the larger it will be, and this might mean that you are able to fit more of a fireplace. The same goes for the length of the wall because a wall that is longer can accommodate a larger fireplace.

Another crucial aspect to take into consideration is how you plan to make use of your fireplace. If you are planning to use it for decoration, then the lower height is ideal. If you're planning to heat your home with it, you'll have to ensure that the fireplace is tall enough to meet the safety and codes of your area.

Depth

A fireplace's depth is important to consider if you intend to install it in a recessed position.

You should also think about the space available for the surround and whether you want a fireplace mantle.

Many of the more recent electric fireplace models feature the depth of being almost hidden, giving them an "integrated" look. This type of wall fireplace made from electric is best illustrated by the Panorama BI Deep series. It has a 5.8-inch depth that allows the viewer to see the flames and the ember bed and not the frame of the fireplace stove. The media package includes driftwood logs with natural colors, white pebbles or crystals of clear glass to increase the embers' glow and reflect the flames.

Gas wall-mounted marble fireplaces can be found in both deep and shallow models. When determining the depth of your fireplace, it is important to remember that these fireplaces are considered to be supplementary heating sources and must be properly vented by a skilled professional. The length of the vent pipe, the dimensions of the flue, and the distance between the stove and the vent are all factors that should be considered when determining the depth of a fireplace made of gas.
