Floating fireplaces are wall-mounted electric fireplaces that attach directly to the wall surface without a mantel, hearth, or floor-standing base. The fireplace appears to float on the wall, creating a clean, modern focal point that requires no built-in framing, chimney, or gas line infrastructure.
Most floating fireplaces are electric and plug into a standard household outlet. They produce LED flame effects with adjustable colors and brightness, and many include a built-in heater providing supplemental warmth up to approximately 5,000 BTUs. Because they mount on the wall rather than recessing into it, floating fireplaces are one of the simplest fireplace types to install in any room.
The Trade Table carries floating fireplaces in multiple widths, finishes, and flame styles for living rooms, bedrooms, offices, and accent wall installations.
Floating Fireplaces | Wall-Mounted Electric Fireplaces
A floating fireplace mounts to the wall using included brackets and hangs flush or slightly off the surface with no contact to the floor. This wall-mounted design eliminates the need for a mantel surround, hearth extension, or cabinet enclosure — resulting in a minimalist look that fits modern, contemporary, and transitional interiors.
Floating models are available in widths ranging from 36 to 72 inches or wider. Flame displays use LED technology with options for traditional orange and yellow tones, modern blue and purple hues, or multi-color modes that blend multiple flame colors simultaneously. Most units allow the flame display to run independently of the heater for year-round visual ambiance without generating heat.
Some floating fireplaces include a flat top surface that functions as a display shelf for décor, media components, or artwork. Others feature a frameless edge-to-edge glass front for maximum flame visibility and a seamless wall-mounted appearance.

Floating Fireplace FAQs
How are floating fireplaces installed?
Floating fireplaces mount directly to the wall using included brackets, similar to hanging a large flat-screen television. Most models attach to standard drywall with wall anchors or directly into studs. No built-in framing, recessed cavity, or chimney is required. Installation typically takes under an hour.
Do floating fireplaces produce heat?
Yes. Most floating fireplaces include a built-in heater producing supplemental warmth up to approximately 5,000 BTUs. The heater operates independently from the flame display, so the fireplace can run in flame-only mode for visual ambiance without generating heat.
What is the difference between a floating fireplace and a recessed fireplace?
A floating fireplace mounts on the wall surface and projects outward from the wall. A recessed fireplace is built into the wall cavity so the front sits flush with the wall surface. Floating models require no wall framing or construction — only mounting brackets. Recessed models require a framed opening cut into the wall.
Can a floating fireplace be mounted under a TV?
Yes. Many floating fireplaces are designed for media wall installations and can be mounted directly below a wall-mounted television. Check the specific model's heat output and recommended clearance above the unit to ensure safe spacing between the fireplace and the TV.
Do floating fireplaces need a dedicated electrical circuit?
Most floating fireplaces plug into a standard 120V household outlet and do not require a dedicated circuit. Units rated at 1,500 watts or less typically operate safely on a shared circuit. Larger models may recommend a dedicated 15-amp or 20-amp circuit — check the product specifications before installation.

Exceptional Customer Service
We ordered the Autograph Edition Kitchen Package and could not be happier with the aesthetics! The entire team at The Trade Table from ordering, shipping, and minor issues after installation - have thus far exceeded our expectations. We look forward to many years of use of our appliances. :)

The stove is working beautifully!
The stove is working beautifully! Up here in the San Juan Mountains, we're starting to experience some chilly mornings. Today, it was below 30 degrees at 7 am! I'm grateful for having this Heater, especially since the days warm up to nearly 80 degrees, making it pretty spectacular.

Grateful for Exceptional Service!
I have nothing but good things to say about my experiences. We had an accident at home causing the filter to break (my own end- nothing to do with quality) and customer service went above and beyond to get me a replacement. It is rare to find in this day and age such personalized assistance.

Excellent Service and Support
Very knowledgeable, and very helpful. John, researched what filters I needed for my particular Greenfield water filter system. And received those filters, and were the exact ones I needed. Again I would like to thank John for his professionalism and down home attitude.
