Inset vs. wall-hung
Media wall electric fires are available in two basic styles: inset and wall-mounted. Inset models, like the Vision Futura 1500 or the Evonic Halo 1500 XT, are built into the wall and offer a smooth finish, merging into the wall for a clean appearance. Inset electric fireplaces can be more expensive and require an opening already in place.

They are easy to set up and don't require an existing opening in the wall since they're not recessed into it. They can be more versatile than inset electric fireplaces, with some models offering various designs and trims to fit your style. Wall-mounted models are still able to protrude from the wall and may not suit all room designs. They can also hinder air flow in smaller rooms since they are likely to disperse heat upwards instead of across the room.

Most modern electric fires for media walls are affixed to the wall and are either freestanding or inset depending on the style you select. An inset fire is designed to be partially inserted into the opening of a fireplace, which makes it easier to install and looks more unified in your living spaces. Freestanding fires such as the Gallery Collection Hopton and Dimplex Danville are great for those who don't have fireplace recesses and can be moved between rooms to make it more flexible.
Whatever method of installation you select, always ensure the fire is close to a power socket to allow you to connect it and test all functions prior to fitting. It is also important to place the fire away from combustible materials, in accordance with the regulations.
