How to Choose the Right Height for an on the Wall Fireplace
A on the wall fireplace can be a chic feature for any living space. Whether hung over the couch or in the living room, it can create a warm and cozy atmosphere for your family and guests.
Some models can be recessed into the wall to give it a built-in appearance. However, this requires more work and could require some DIYers to step out of their comfort zone.
Height
The right size for an on the wall fireplace is among the most crucial decisions to be made when constructing a new media wall. While the fireplace should be low enough to be easily viewed from most sitting positions, it must also be high enough that it can produce sufficient warmth for a comfortable living space.
It is essential to take into consideration the amount of heat that the wall-mounted fireplace produces as well as the distance to the floor and any other objects that could be placed above the fire. If a gas or electric fireplace is too low in height, the heat it generates will be dissipated quickly and combustible materials could easily ignite. This could result in an explosion in the house, and the performance of the fireplace will be greatly diminished.
To avoid this, choose a fireplace with a low opening for the firebox or a chimney venting system that is high. This will ensure that heat is efficiently dissipated and safely.
Another factor to consider is the purpose for which the room will be used for. If it is predominantly used for entertainment, socialising and relaxing, a larger fireplace is a great option. If it is used to heat your home the lower fireplace is more suitable.
The majority of people prefer to place a fireplace at eye-level when they are seated in the chair. This is roughly 40-42 inches above the floor. However, some prefer to place their fireplace under a TV and this can work well too, providing that the TV isn't too close to the heater, or it could suffer damage from the heat.
Based on the type of fireplace, it can be helpful to consider what kind of storage might be required above the fireplace. If you have an electric fireplace, it could be useful to install a sideboard cabinet or credenza above the fire to keep the fireplace's surface clean. This can help to create a more spacious and streamlined appearance, and also make the fireplace appear bigger as well.
Installation

Make sure the bracket is fastened to at least two studs, and utilize a stud locater to identify the locations where you'll require a screw.
Once the bracket is in place and the fireplace is attached, use the tabs on the bottom of the fireplace and the hooks on the top of the bracket. Follow the directions in the owner’s manual in the event that your fireplace has a front-glass panel that needs to be removed prior to installation.
