50 inch front facing media wall fire

Made for the recess under the TV

A media wall fire is an inset fire: it slides into a box built into the wall, so only the glass and a thin trim show. A front facing model is the easiest to build around, because the recess is a simple rectangle with the fire's front flush with the plasterboard.

The fire's manual gives the exact recess width, height and depth and any gap needed for air. Build to those figures, not to the outside of the fire. Our media wall fire buying guide explains how.

Provisional product data: this is the type of fire we are preparing to sell. We confirm the exact dimensions, weight and heat output with the final supplier model before it can be ordered.

Power and fitting

Plan the socket or fused connection unit before the boards go up. It needs to be reachable for switching off and for maintenance, which usually means beside the fire or in an access panel, not sealed behind it. In England, adding a socket or spur to an existing circuit outside a bathroom is not notifiable under Part P, but a new circuit is. Read installing a media wall fire safely before you start.
