A TV wall with an electric fireplace is a stylish solution that combines the warmth of fire with the convenience of watching TV. Learn how to safely design such a structure with Aflamo and Emotionflame fireplaces.
Built-in Electric Fireplace – Basics
A built-in electric fireplace, like models from Aflamo or Emotionflame, fits perfectly into a TV wall. These electric fireplaces create a realistic flame effect using LED lights, without dust or smoke. They are easy to install in standard built-ins and don’t require a chimney – just plug them into the power outlet.
Rule 1: TV Gap – Electronics Protection
Leave a 10 to 15 cm gap between the top edge of the fireplace and the bottom of the TV. Aflamo and Emotionflame electric fireplaces emit heat mainly forward, but it’s still recommended to maintain at least this distance.
Rule 2: Ventilation – Key to Cooling
Don’t block the front of the built-in electric fireplace so warm air can freely exit through the front ventilation grilles. Standard built-in is sufficient – no need for extra openings or grilles. Emotionflame and Aflamo models have built-in safeguards, making usage easier.
Rule 3: Built-in Materials – Simplicity and Safety
Standard built-in materials like regular gypsum boards are fully sufficient around the fireplace. Aflamo and Emotionflame electric fireplaces are safe because they don’t heat the housing – no special materials needed.
Rule 4: Step-by-Step Installation
First, prepare the wall opening according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Secure the fireplace stably, connect cables discreetly, and test operation. Emotionflame electric fireplaces offer various installation methods, and Aflamo makes it easy with a remote – all simple without specialized tools.
Rule 5: Control and Maintenance
Regularly clean the fireplace from dust with a soft cloth and check cables. Aflamo and Emotionflame models have child safety heating locks. This is enough for the device to work without issues for years.
