They can be constructed into a wall stud or hang from it using brackets. Certain wall-mounted electric fireplaces for media feature smart integration. This allows you to control the output of heat as well as flame effects and lighting using your smartphone or tablet. Some have even scheduling options. Easy to install There are a few aspects to take into consideration when creating a media wall in your home. First, you'll need to decide where the wall will be placed in your home. It should be placed in a spot where you can comfortably sit and watch TV or enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. The ideal location will also give you the best viewing angles within the room. Once you've decided on the location, you can begin taking measurements and create the frame. Then you will need to decide on the finishing details. Some people include skirting boards to their media walls to match the interior decor. Some prefer to remove it, allowing the media wall to stand out on its own. Depending on the kind of electric fire you're planning to install the media wall could require a bit more effort than other fireplaces. For instance, inset wall fires (such as the Vision Futura 1500 or Evonic Halo 1500 XT) must be installed in the wall or hollowed out that requires more building skills and tools. However, this does not mean they can't be installed by a DIYer. Another important factor to consider when constructing media walls is where you'll locate your electrical components. It is essential to ensure your wall is equipped with at least two sockets for plugs that are one for the fireplace and one for the TV. So you'll need to decide the location of these sockets prior to installation. Some people opt to install the sockets in the wall frame with studs while others prefer keeping them close to the TV and fireplace. Afte
