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 ideal for living rooms, extensions and bedrooms but also for bathrooms to create that real flame ambiance. Hotels with fireplaces provide an inherent luxury that orchestrates warm memories and inspires guests to returning. Find out how you can bring this luxury to your hotel property. The hearth The hearth is the flat platform which is situated at the base of a fireplace. It is designed to protect the wall and floor from heat damage or embers. It is typically constructed of non-combustible materials such as stone or brick and extends 16 to 18 inches in front of the firebox. 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 an area of interest that will enhance aesthetics and make your home more welcoming. This is why suites are a great option for anyone seeking to update their interior and give it a new look. fire suites are available in a broad range of styles, finishes and colours that can be matched to any style. They also provide a broad variety of options when it comes to the type of fire and effect as well as heating outputs. Conventional gas-fuelled fires are the ideal option for homes with chimneys, while balanced flue fires are a different option that can be used in properties without a chimney. Electric fireplace suites can be a great choice for those who wish to add a focal point to their living space without the need to install a traditional gas or wood fire. The suites generate their own heat by convection which draws in cool air, then heats it up before venting it out into the room. Unlike wood-burning fireplaces, these suites do not release carbon monoxide, which can be dangerous if breathed in. The back panel As the name suggests, a fireplace back panel sits at the back of your fireplace opening and helps create an attractive 'n'-shaped design alongside the surround, mantelpiece and the inset fire. It can be constructed from several materials that are resistant to heat, such as slate, granite and stone. The majority of fireplace suites have a back panel as part of an all-in-one solution that includes the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire appliance. This can be an excellent way to cut down on time and hassle when installing the fireplace as the components are designed to fit together seamlessly visually and structurally. There are also separate back panels that are perfect to replace the gas or electric fireplace, or to improve the appearance of a chimney's existing. Back panels are available in different styles and materials so you can pick the one that is suitable for your home. Alongside being stylish Back panels are typically made from a heat-resistant material which is crucial to shield your floors and walls from the effects of your fireplace suite. This is especially important when you opt for a solid fuel or gas fireplace suite. They can generate a large amount of heat that is transferred via the ceiling and wall to the space.

The key is to find a design that complements the space and will meet your requirements. You can also choose the larger model or fireplace that has a wider panel to frame the fireplace and create a stunning focal point in your room. When you are choosing a fireplace suite, be sure to consider the amount of heat you'll require for your home. It will be determined by several factors, including the amount of heat produced by the fireplace, your current electricity rates and the amount of time you're planning on using it every day. Divide the wattage of the fireplace by the energy rate per kilowatt-hour that you pay your electricity provider. The fireplace's surround and mantelpiece can be a significant factor in how it looks in your space. Some are designed with intricate designs that add a new layer of visual interest to the space, while others have more minimalist and blends in with all styles of interiors. You can also find a suite that has an LED inside glow log effect that gives the impression of a real flame without needing any fuel. When it comes to fire places, there are four types: wood (nice to view and feel but less efficient; releases air pollutants like particulate matter, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide); gas (more energy-efficient but still generates carbon monoxide, burns natural or synthetic logs); and electric (uses the coil and fan system and doesn't release any harmful gasses, and is extremely economical and comfortable). If you want to get the most value of your fireplace set-up, choose one with high BTUs. This will warm your home more quickly and will also create a more authentic fire effect.
