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' range of suites are perfect for living rooms extension, bedrooms and also for bathrooms to create the authentic flame ambience. Hotels with fireplaces provide a sense of luxury and warmth that draws customers back. Find out how you can add this experience to your hotel. The hearth The hearth is a flat, sloping platform that is located at the base of the fireplace. Its function is to shield the floor and walls from embers or heat. It is typically constructed of non-combustible materials like brick or stone and can extend anywhere from 16 to 18 inches in front of the fireplace. Electric fireplace suites are often without 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. The four components work together to create a centrepiece that can enhance the look of any room and make your home feel more welcoming. This is why suites are the ideal choice for those who wants to transform their home and give it a fresh new look. Suites are available in various designs, colors and finishes that will fit into any decor. They also provide a broad range of choices when it comes to type of fire and flame effect as well as heating outputs. Conventional fires with gas fuel work best in homes with chimneys, while balanced flue fireplaces can be used without chimneys. Electric fireplace suites are a great choice for those who want to add a focal piece to their living space without having to put in an actual wood or gas fire. They generate their own heat by using a process known as convection. It draws cold air, warms it and then vents it out into the room. Contrary to fireplaces that burn wood, these suites do not release carbon monoxide, which could be dangerous if breathed in. The back panel The name suggests that the fireplace back panel is located in the rear of the fireplace's opening. It helps to create an attractive 'n'-shaped design in the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire. It can be constructed from several materials that resist heat, including slate, granite, and stone. The majority of fireplace sets come with a back panel as part of an all-in-one solution that includes a surround, mantelpiece and inset fire appliance. This will save you time and effort during installation, because the components are designed to be able to fit seamlessly. There are also standalone back panels that are available that are perfect in situations where you're replacing an electric or gas fireplace and wish to improve the appearance of the current chimney without having to remove it. Back panels are available in various designs and materials, so you can pick the one that is suitable for your home. Back panels are not only stylish they are made of materials that are resistant to heat. This is important as it protects your floors and walls from the effects of the fireplace suite. This is especially important when you select a gas or solid fuel fireplace suite. They'll generate a large amount of heat which can be transferred via the ceiling and wall to the surrounding area. A back panel can really aid in tying up the entire fireplace particularly if you're opting for a more contemporary design. For example this stunning flamerite Ador LED electric fireplace suite has a curved flame picture which really enhances the appearance of your new fireplace. When combined with a contemporary open-fronted electric fire, this suite will make a beautiful focal point in any living room or dining room, or even an extension. Alternatively, this Elgin and Hall Farnham Deluxe suite is equipped with the well-known Chollerton inset gas fireplace. The glass-fronted fireplace is a true show-stopper when paired with the limestone surround and back panel, it can raise any home to new heights. For a more minimalist approach this stunning wall mounted flamerite Edwin LED electric suite is the ideal choice. The suite can be hung on any flat wall, and controlled with the remote control included. It's simple to use and doesn't require a chimney or flue. The surround/mantelpiece Contrary to traditional fireplaces that must be fitted with a back panel and a fire surround, modern electric fireplaces can be hung flush against the wall and provide an impressive focal point. These are perfect for homes with limited space or without a chimney or flue. The selection of electric fireplace suites at Fires2U offers a wide variety of sizes and styles which makes it easy to find the perfect match for your home. Select from beautiful stone designs like the Carron Corbel for the classic Georgian look, or go for something more minimalist with the Gallery Lincoln which boasts clean lines and simple elegance. Carron's Gallery Corbel is also popular with pine surrounds. The piece can be coated with wax or left unfinished to highlight the color and texture of the wood. You can pick marble surrounds to give your fireplace a more elegant appearance. Elgin & Hall Vitalia Marble Electric Fire Suite is a stunning choice, with its beautiful detailing. Pureglow Hanley, if you prefer something more elegant, is a good alternative. This surround comes with a grey-colored finish and is compatible with electric or gas fireplaces. As well as marble surrounds, you can also choose an edgier style by using the sleek appearance of a white unit. The Carron Ashleigh surround is a popular option that works with both electric and gas fires. A traditional cast iron fireplace will always be a great option for those who appreciate the ambience of real flames blazing in their living space. The Flamerite Aubade LED cast iron fire suites come with a stylish mantelpiece that is curved. They are designed to work with gas, electric and wood-burning fires. They also come with an integrated remote control so you can adjust the flame and light settings effortlessly. If you're looking to add a touch of luxury, why not choose a deluxe fireplace suite? These are typically larger than standard ones, and can bring elegance to your living room. They're usually available in a variety of colours and finishes and finishes, so you're bound to find one that complements the style of your home. You can opt for a mirrored surround for a dramatic appearance and to add light that your home receives. The fire The fire is the centerpiece of any fireplace set, but it doesn't have to be a wood-burning one. Electric and gas are also options. It is important to select a design that fits your room and your requirements. You can also choose a fireplace that is larger or with a bigger panel that frames the fire to create a stunning focal in your room. When selecting a fireplace suite, be sure to think about how much heat you'll need to heat your home. It will be contingent on a few things like the fireplace's wattage and current electricity costs and the number of hours you're planning to use it each day. To determine this, you must divide the fire's wattage by the energy rate charged by your electricity company per kilowatt hour. The surround and mantelpiece of your fireplace also have a significant impact on the way it appears. Some are designed with intricate designs that add visual interest, while others have a more subtle look that blends in with any interior style. There is even the suite with an LED inside glow log effect to give the impression of a real flame without using any fuel. When it comes to fire places there are four types of wood (nice to look at and feel but less efficient; emits air pollutants like particulate matter carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide); gas (more energy-efficient but still generates carbon monoxide and burns synthetic or natural logs); and electric (uses an electric coil and fan, doesn't release any dangerous gasses, and is extremely economical and cozy). Choose a fireplace that has a high BTU rating if you want the most effective results. This will heat your room quicker and create more realistic flame effects.
