Wall-Mounted

When it comes to electric fire fireplaces wall-mounted models are a great option for those who wish to put their fireplace in a wall without cutting the walls or frame an opening. These fireplaces come with mounting brackets that allow you to hang the fireplace directly on a wall just like a picture or flat-screen TV and are able to install it yourself - although you might need assistance from a second pair of hands if the model is a bit larger. They're also great for people who rent their homes because they are easy to remove when it's time to move, and they don't cause a hole on the wall fires.

Certain models of wall-mounted fireplaces can be built in a flush fashion to give a sleek appearance, or you can choose to build them in part into the wall recess to give them more depth.
