Media wall electric fires for modern Irish homes
Media wall electric fires create a built-in focal point beneath or alongside a TV. They suit modern feature walls and homes that want a realistic flame display without a chimney or flue.
How should fire width compare with TV size?
Start with the TV’s actual width, not only its diagonal screen size, then consider the full wall width and the look you want. A wider fire can create a strong horizontal focal point; a closer TV-and-fire width can look more symmetrical. There is no mandatory ratio, so balance the TV, fire and surrounding wall proportions before choosing.
Browse fires grouped for TVs up to 50 inches, up to 55 inches, up to 60 inches, up to 65 inches, up to 70 inches, up to 75 inches and up to 80 inches.
Should I choose a slimline or deeper fire?
Slimline fires are useful where the wall build has limited depth. Deeper models can provide a more substantial fuel-bed and flame presentation where the product design allows it, but they need more installation space. Check the appliance’s full dimensions, ventilation and manufacturer clearances before finalising the wall construction.
What is the difference between one-, two- and three-sided fires?
A one-sided fire gives a front-facing view and suits a flat feature wall. A two-sided or corner fire exposes the flame from the front and one end, while a three-sided fire shows both ends and can suit a projecting or room-dividing media wall. Many models can be configured in more than one format, so confirm the supplied conversion panels and installation instructions.
Does a media wall electric fire need a chimney?
No. An electric media wall fire does not need a chimney, flue or gas connection. It does require a suitable electrical supply and safe installation for the selected appliance. Use a competent installer and follow the manufacturer’s instructions for ventilation, clearances, cable routing and TV placement.
