Fireplace Suites – The Complete Package A fireplace suite is the complete package; it includes a surround/mantelpiece, hearth and fire all working together to create the centrepiece of your home. Evolution Fires' suites are ideal for living rooms, bedrooms, extensions and bathrooms. Hotels with fireplaces offer an inherent luxuriousness that creates warm memories and influences customer return. Find out how to add this experience to your hotel. The hearth The hearth is a platform that is flat at the bottom of the fireplace. Its function is to protect the floor and walls from embers or heat. It is typically made of non-combustible materials such as brick or stone and can extend between 16 and 18 inches in front of the firebox. Most gas and wood fireplaces require a hearth, and electric fireplace suites typically do not require a hearth. As a general rule, fireplace suites consist of four main components; an inset fire (either gas or electric), a surround/mantelpiece, a back panel and the hearth. They work in conjunction to create a focal point that will enhance the aesthetics of any space and make your home feel more inviting. Suites are great for anyone looking to give their interior a new look and revamp it. Suites are available in a variety of styles, colours and finishes that will fit into any decor. They also provide a wide range of choices when it comes to kind of fire and effect and heating outputs. Conventional gas-fueled fires are the ideal choice for homes that have chimneys, while balanced flue fires are a different option that can be used safely in properties without a chimney. Electric fireplace suites can be an excellent option for those who wish to add a focal point to their living space without having to install a traditional gas or wood fire. They generate their own heat through a process called convection, which draws in cool air, then heats it before venting it out into the room. These suites do not emit carbon monoxide which is dangerous to inhale. The back panel As the name suggests, the back of your fireplace is at the rear of your fireplace opening and helps to create an attractive 'n'-shaped design in the mantelpiece, surround and the fire inset. It can be constructed from various materials that resist heat, including slate, granite and stone. Most fireplace suites feature back panels as part of a complete solution; packaged alongside the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire appliance. Fireplaces And Stoves will save you time and effort when installing, since the components are designed to work seamlessly. There are also stand-alone back panels that are ideal to replace an electric or gas fireplace, and upgrading the appearance of a chimney breast that is already in place.

In addition to being fashionable Back panels are typically constructed from a heat-resistant material, which is important to shield your floors and walls from the effects of your fireplace suite.

It is essential to choose a design that fits your space and your needs.

Think about how much heat your home will need when selecting a fireplace set. It will be contingent on a few factors including the wattage of your fireplace and current electricity costs and the number of hours you're planning to use it each day. To determine this, you must divide the wattage of your fireplace by the energy rate charged by your electricity company per Kilowatt hour. A fire place's surround and mantelpiece will also play a big role in how it looks in your home. Some have intricate designs which add visual interest, while others have a more subtle look that blends into any interior style. You can find a suite with an LED glow log to give the illusion of a fireplace without any fuel. There are four types of fire places that include wood (nice to look at and feel but less efficient, it releases air pollutants such as particulate matter and carbon monoxide), gas (more efficient in energy use, but still emits carbon monoxide, burns natural or synthesized logs), and electric (uses coils and fan technology and doesn't release any harmful gases, and is extremely economical and cozy). Choose a fireplace that has the highest BTU rating if you want the best results. This will warm the room more quickly and will also create a more authentic fire effect.
