Your Electric Fireplace Buying Guide
YOUR ELECTRIC FIREPLACE BUYING GUIDE
Modern Flames was established in 2008 and has quickly become the innovative leader in contemporary electric fireplace design and technology. After pioneering the linear electric fireplace throughout North America and Australia, Modern Flames’ brand has skyrocketed with many firsts to market including; the first linear recessed electric fireplace, the first fully built-in electric fireplace and again has changed the industry by creating the first Virtual Electric Fireplace, the Orion Series.
WHY CHOOSE A MODERN FLAMES ELECTRIC FIREPLACE?
Fall in love with the life-like flames of an electric fireplace. Our patented Hybrid-FX flame technology offers a variety of colour options for every fireplace so it looks beautiful while you unwind. The other major advantage over gas and wood fireplaces is that you can enjoy these fireplaces all year round without providing additional heat.
As opposed to gas and wood fireplaces, electric fireplaces can be built almost anywhere indoors and are simple for builders or handymen to install. Modern Flames have the additional advantage of being able to be installed using standard material and without requiring pricey fireproof material.
When you choose a Modern Flames fireplace you can enjoy minimal operating costs. We have invested in PTC ceramic and coil heating components which are very economical and operate at a maximum 2k/w per hour. Additionally, our patented RGB lights operate without producing any heat making them a very attractive feature.
By choosing an electric fireplace, you are choosing one of the greenest heating solutions on the market. Electric fireplaces don’t require natural resources like gas or wood to create a fire. Thus it is a dependable and effective approach to avoid air pollution because there is no combustible by-product discharged into the atmosphere.
CHOOSING YOUR ELECTRIC FIREPLACE
The type of fireplace best suited for your home ultimately comes down to your room design and vision. Modern Flames offers six types of stunning feature fireplaces to help you match the fireplace to your vision.
TYPES OF FIREPLACES YOU CAN CHOOSE FROM:
The linear gas fireplace will be perfectly replaced with the electric built-in flush design. Edge-to-edge flame display and endless surround capabilities are made possible by a distinctive frameless design that may be customised to meet design needs.
For a customised appearance, you can place the corner design on either the left or the right. A corner design incorporates the room and provides a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing ambience. By having a corner fireplace, you can take advantage of underused areas and maximise spaces by leaving longer walls open for furniture placement.
A bayview design creates the sense of genuine fire in the centre and in front, as opposed to flames appearing on a flat screen near the back of the fuel bed like in a traditional fireplace. In the past, the only people who could see the flames within their artificial fireplace were those who were seated directly in front of it. With three-sided glass panels, which genuinely provide a widescreen viewing platform for the flames inside, it is now possible to watch from all sides.
Installing into any regular wall and creating the appearance of an integrated fireplace is possible with a partial recess. Homes with little floor space may benefit from a partial recess because it doesn’t protrude as far from the wall as a wall mount but still offers the ambience element of an inbuilt fireplace.
If you have limited floor space and want to give your home or business a contemporary feel, a wall mount electric fireplace is the perfect choice. A wall mount fireplace serves as both a striking design and a source of zone heating when needed.
Our selection of inserts would be the best choice for those who already own a traditional gas or wood fireplace but are looking for a hassle-free replacement. Because they are frequently the same size as gas or wood fireplaces and have trims to hide any gaps, insert electric fireplaces are simple to install and maintain.
