Explore our collection of wall mounted fireplaces, designed to add warmth and ambiance while keeping your floor space open. Wall mounted fireplaces are a popular choice for modern living rooms, bedrooms, offices, apartments, and feature walls—especially when a traditional built-in installation isn’t practical. Our selection includes electric, ethanol, and select gas wall fireplaces in a range of sizes and styles.

Wall Mounted vs Built-In Fireplaces

A wall mounted fireplace installs on the surface of the wall, while a built-in fireplace is recessed into a framed opening. Wall mounted models are often chosen for faster installation and flexible placement, making them ideal when you want a clean focal point without major remodeling.

Choosing the Right Fuel Type

Different wall mounted fireplaces offer different benefits depending on your space and installation requirements. Always confirm the installation details and requirements on the individual product page before ordering.

Electric wall mounted fireplaces: The most popular option for simple installation with no venting required, plus optional supplemental heat.
Ethanol wall mounted fireplaces: Real flames with vent-free operation, designed primarily for ambiance with moderate warmth.
Gas wall mounted fireplaces: Select models are available, typically requiring professional installation and gas line access.

Installation & Mounting Options

Wall mounted fireplaces are designed to be hung directly on the wall using a mounting bracket, creating a sleek “floating” look similar to a wall-mounted TV. Some models may also support partial or recessed installation for a slimmer profile. Installation requirements vary by model and fuel type, so review the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific fireplace.

Heat Output, Comfort & Everyday Use

Some wall mounted fireplaces are designed primarily for ambiance, while others provide supplemental heat. Many electric and gas models include heating functionality with adjustable settings, and many electric fireplaces also offer a flame-only mode for year-round use. Heat output and room coverage vary by model—check specifications on the product page for details.

Design, Finish & A Finished Look

Wall mounted fireplaces are chosen as much for design as they are for performance. Styles range from sleek glass-front designs to more architectural looks with mantel options, allowing you to create a finished focal point even without a built-in surround. If a “built-in” appearance matters, pay attention to overall depth, firebox styling, and any available trim or mantel accessories.

Placement & Safety Considerations

When planning placement, consider wall space, viewing height, nearby furniture, and any clearance requirements—especially if you plan to mount a TV above the fireplace. Safety and installation guidance vary by model and fuel type, so always follow the manufacturer’s instructions for your specific unit.
