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 is ideal for living rooms as well as bedrooms, extensions and also the bathroom for that real flame ambiance. Hotels with fireplaces provide an inherent luxury that orchestrates warm memories and influences customer return. Discover how you can add this feel to your hotel property. The hearth The hearth is a platform that is flat at the base of the fireplace. Its purpose is to shield the wall and floor from heat or embers. It is usually constructed of non-combustible materials such as stone or brick and can extend between 16 and 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. These components work together to create a focal point that will improve the aesthetics of your home and make your home more welcoming. Suites are ideal for anyone who wants to transform their home and give it a fresh new look. Suites are available in various styles, colours and finishes that will fit into any style. There are also a variety of choices for the type of fire, flame effect and heating output. Gas-fuelled conventional fires work best in homes with chimneys, while balanced flue fireplaces can be used safely without chimneys. Electric fireplace suites can be a great choice for those looking to add a focal piece to their living space without having to install traditional wood or gas fire. These suites generate their own heat by using a process known as convection. They draw in cool air, warms it and then vents it out into the room. These suites emit no carbon monoxide, which is harmful to inhale. The back panel A fireplace back panel is situated behind the fireplace opening. It helps to create an 'N-shaped' design by combining the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire. It is made of various materials that resist heat, including stone, granite and slate. The majority of fireplace suites have a back panel as part of a complete solution; packaged alongside the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire appliance. This is a great way to save time and hassle during installation as the components are made to work seamlessly, both structurally and aesthetically. There are also standalone back panels that are available which are perfect in situations where you are replacing a gas or electric fireplace and wish to improve the appearance of the current chimney without having to remove it. The back panels are available in a variety of designs and materials, allowing you to choose the right one for your home. Alongside being stylish, back panels are usually made of a material that is heat-resistant that is essential to protect your walls and floor from the effects of your fireplace suite. This is especially important if you choose a solid fuel or gas fireplace suite. They'll generate a large amount of heat that is transferred through the ceiling and wall to the surrounding area. A back panel can really aid in tying up your entire fireplace set-up particularly if you're opting for a more modern design. For instance this stunning flamerite Ador LED electric fireplace suite features a curved flame picture which really enhances the appearance of your new fireplace. This suite, when paired with an open-fronted modern electric fire, can create a stunning focal point for any dining room, living room or extension. This Elgin and Hall Farnham Deluxe Suite features the popular Chollerton gas fire that is set. This fireplace with a glass front is an absolute show-stopper.

The surround/mantelpiece Modern electric suites can be a fantastic alternative to traditional fireplaces that need a back panel, a fire surround and other components. They can be set in a flush position against the wall, creating an amazing focal point. They are perfect for homes with small spaces or without a chimney or flue. Fires2U's electric fireplace collection offers a variety of sizes and styles so you can find the ideal one for your home.

The Flamerite Aubade LED cast iron fireplace suites have a stylish, curved mantelpiece. They are designed to work with electric, gas and wood-burning fires. They also come with an integrated remote control to allow you to adjust the flame and light settings easily. Why not add a touch of elegance to your living area by choosing a deluxe fireplace suite? These suites are usually larger than standard ones and bring elegance to your living space. You can find these in a variety of colours and finishes to match your decor. You can also opt for mirror-like surrounds to create a dramatic effect and increase the amount of light entering your living space. The fire The fire is the center of any fireplace set however, it doesn't have to be a fireplace that burns wood. Gas and electric are also options. The key is to find an option that fits your space and meets your requirements. You can also opt for a fireplace that is larger or with a bigger screen that frames the fire to create a stunning focal point in your living space. When you are choosing a fireplace set-up, make sure to take into consideration how much heat you'll need to heat your home. It will be determined by several factors, including the amount of heat produced by the fireplace as well as the current rates for electricity, and how long you're planning on using it every day. Divide the wattage of your fireplace by the energy cost per kilowatt-hour charged by your electricity provider. The mantelpiece and surround of your fireplace also have a significant impact on how it looks. Some come with intricate designs that add an extra layer of visual interest to the room, while others offer more minimalist and blends into most styles of interiors. You can find a set with an LED glow log to give the illusion of a fireplace without any fuel. There are four types of fire places including wood (nice for viewing and feeling but less efficient, it releases air pollutants like particulate matter and carbon monoxide) gas (more efficient in terms of energy efficiency, but still produces carbon monoxide and is burned by natural or synthesized logs), and electric (uses coils and fan technology, doesn't emit any dangerous gasses, is very cost-effective and comfortable). Choose a fireplace suite with a high BTU rating to get the most effective results. This will warm your home faster and provide more realistic flame effects.
