Media wall electric fires come in two main styles: wall-mounted and inset. Inset models like the Vision Futura 1500 and the Evonic Halo 1500 XT are installed into walls and feature a flush finish that blends seamlessly with the walls surrounding it. However, inset electric fires require an opening already in place and can be more expensive than their free-standing counterparts.

As they're not inset into the wall, they don't require an opening in the wall and are relatively inexpensive to put up.
