Which Media Wall Fire Should You Choose?
The right fire will depend on the dimensions of your media wall, your available budget and which features matter most to you.
For a comparatively accessible full-width option, the Gazco eReflex 135RW provides an attractive balance of size, versatility and price. The Gazco eStudio 105R is a strong alternative when flame realism is the priority, while the Vision Solus VS130 delivers an impressive combination of premium functions and overall value.
Homeowners looking for a larger mid-range fire may prefer the Celsi DLX 1250 Midnight Edition. The Onyx Avita 160RW provides a particularly strong collection of advanced features, while the Solution Fires LUX175 is best suited to large, premium media wall installations.
It is also important to consider the width and depth of the appliance before finalising the surrounding structure. The television position, viewing height, ventilation requirements, storage and overall proportions should all be considered during the design process.
