How to Combine electric media wall fire and an Electric Fire
Media walls are the newest trend in home interiors. They are custom wall frames that are studs and contain built-in storage, such as shelves, cabinets or drawers. They can also include appliances such as an electric fire.
Give a new dimension to your media wall with the Gazco eStudio 105R media wall electric fire. This gorgeous fire is recessed into the wall, giving it a sleek, in-depth appearance. It offers captivating flame effects with or without heating.
TV Size
A media wall is an elegant method of incorporating a flat screen TV with an electric fire as well as bespoke storage into your living room decor. It is common for these stud wall framework installations to include shelves, cupboards, and drawers along with the TV, resulting in a fully customized entertainment center. For many, the centerpiece of the media wall is a stylish electric fire. The correct size of a TV is important for this custom installation. You want a screen that's large enough to provide a sense of depth but not so huge that it dwarfs the fire or overpowers the room.
Start by measuring the wall space where you intend to install your fireplace and TV. Sketch this to scale, including any existing doors, windows, or furniture arrangements. This will give you the maximum size and width within which you can create the media wall.
You should also think about how you plan to use your electric fireplace and TV. Film buffs might prefer to go for the largest screen size for an immersive experience, whereas those who will only be using the television for casual viewing are often able to get away with smaller models.
If you're planning to buy an additional TV in the near future, selecting one at the lower end of your ideal range will help to prevent your media wall from becoming outdated as technology advances. This method can spare you the hassle of reworking your custom-designed installation should you decide to upgrade your TV.

There are a few aspects to take into consideration when selecting an electric fire for your media wall, and one of most important considerations is fireplace's size. This is because your TV will be placed directly above the fire therefore the fireplace needs to be large enough to accommodate it without appearing too big in contrast.
The ideal choice is to choose an electric fireplace that is the same size as your TV. This will result in a neat and tidy finish where the fireplace is integrated seamlessly into the recess of your TV. However, it is also possible to have an open fireplace that is a little larger than your TV and this is a good idea too. The Gazco eStudio 105R is a popular choice for this type of fireplace, and it comes with a range of glass fitting options to ensure that you find the perfect match to your home.

Decorative Elements

Heating Needs
A media wall isn't just a beautiful feature for your home, it's also a great way to combine an electric fireplace and a TV in one neat installation. Some go further and incorporate a soundbar with integrated shelving, storage, and stud walls. Consider an inset electric fireplace with built-in heating to create a more elegant design. This makes it a great option for TVs with built-ins and allows you to put the electric fireplace directly beneath your screen, eliminating the need for ugly cables or explosive materials.
Many inset electric fireplaces have a setting for "flame effects only" that lets you experience the enchanting effect of dancing flames without heating. Some electric fires have different settings that allow you to alter the intensity of flames, and create a soothing or lively atmosphere. You can also choose the 'heat only' option that will provide a gentle background warmth, perfect for those who wish to add a bit of warmth to their living space without the expense of energy.
You can enhance your media wall by incorporating an intelligent fireplace that can be controlled by remote or app. These can be used to reduce the flame effect and adjust the temperature. Certain models can maintain a preset room temperature. Window detection for open windows is another useful feature, detecting sudden drops in the temperature that indicate an open outside door or window has been left unlocked. The fire then automatically decreases or stops its output in order to conserve energy.
To ensure that everything is in order, some inset electric fires can be outfitted with a convenient concealed power point that hides away cables and allows you to access your plug sockets. The Gazco eStudio105R is an excellent choice as it features an recessed powerpoint and an innovative cable-tidy method that prevents the wires from blocking the plug. Be sure to check your electrical configuration prior to installing your media wall. It is possible to install new plug sockets to power your electric fireplace and television.
