Media walls have become a popular feature in modern homes, combining functionality and aesthetics to create an engaging space. Let's delve into some common questions about media walls to understand their appeal and practicality.
The primary purpose of a media wall is to centralise your home entertainment system. It’s designed to house televisions, speakers, and sometimes gaming consoles in a single, organised unit. This centralisation not only makes the space look tidier but also enhances the viewing experience by creating a focal point in the room.
We think media walls are a great idea for their aesthetic appeal, space-saving design, and the way they can be customised to fit your home’s style and needs.
Electric media wall fireplaces do give off heat, but part of their appeal is the ability to be used without the heating function. They are designed to provide warmth while also adding to the ambience of the room during the colder months, but can also offer summertime ambience without the heat from a traditional fireplace.
Electric media wall fires often have a range of settings that let them fit your lifestyle perfectly, such as thermostatic heating for efficiency or even open window detection that intelligently detects a certain drop in temperature caused by an open window or door, switching the fire off to conserve energy and heating resumed via a remote control or app when the user is ready.
The ease of building a media wall depends on the complexity of the design, whether you have hired a professional, or whether you are relying on the homeowner’s DIY skills.
Media walls can be a great addition to a modern home, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits. Whether you opt for a DIY approach or professional installation, a well-designed media wall can become the centrepiece of your living space, offering a cosy and organised area for entertainment.

We are looking to purchase a property with a built in media wall with TVand electric fire below.we Dont like the layout, could this be altered,would prefer TV at eye level and maybe more traditional fire or shelves, would need advice. Regards Heather
Hi Heather, it would really depend on the media wall and how it has been constructed. If its built of plasterboard it should be relatively easy to make alterations, but you’d need to take into account distance to combustibles if you were wanting to put anything other than another electric stove or fire in there. Either way, a builder or fireplace installer would be able to take a look and advise on your options here. Your local Gazco retailer could be a good place to start. Hope this helps!
