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 as well as bedrooms, extensions and also for bathrooms to create the real flame effect. Hotels with fireplaces offer an innate feeling of luxury that creates warm memories and influences customer return. Learn how you can bring this feeling to your hotel. The hearth The hearth is a flat, sloping platform at the base of the fireplace. Its function is to shield the floor and wall from heat or embers. It is typically constructed of non-combustible materials like brick or stone, and is 16 to 18 inches in front of the firebox. The majority of gas and wood fireplaces require a hearth, while electric fireplace suites usually don't have one. 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 centerpiece that enhances the appearance of any room and make your home seem more welcoming. Suites are a great option for anyone who wants to transform their home and give it a new look. Suites are available in different styles, colors and finishes to suit any decor. There is also a range of choices for the type of fire, flame effect and heating output. Traditional fires that are gas-fueled are best suited to homes with chimneys, whereas balanced flue fireplaces can be used without chimneys. Electric fireplace suites are an excellent option for those who want to create a focal point to their living spaces without the hassle of putting up an old-fashioned wood burner or gas fire. The suites generate their own heat via a process called convection, which draws in cool air and heats it up before venting it out into the room. They do not emit carbon monoxide which is dangerous to inhale. The back panel The name suggests that the back of your fireplace is in the back of the fireplace's opening. It helps to create an elegant 'n' shape alongside the surround, mantelpiece and the fire inset. It is made from a variety of materials that are heat-resistant, including stone and granite. Most fireplace suites feature back panels as part of a complete solution; packaged alongside the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire appliance. This can save you time and effort when installing, because the components are designed to fit together seamlessly. There are also stand-alone back panels that are perfect for replacing an electric or gas fireplace, or to improve the appearance of an existing chimney breast. Back panels are available in a variety of styles and materials, so you'll be able to find the perfect one for your home. Back panels aren't just elegant they are made of materials that are resistant to heat. This is crucial because they shield your walls and floors from the effects of a fireplace suite. This is particularly true if you opt for a gas or solid fuel fireplace, as they will produce an enormous amount of heat that can be transferred to surrounding areas via the wall or ceiling. A back panel will help you create a unified look for your fireplace suite especially if you are opting for a contemporary style. This stunning flamerite Ador electric fireplace suite is a great example. It comes with a curved fire picture that adds a more dramatic look to the fire.

You can also choose an extra large model or a fireplace that has a wider panel to frame the fireplace and create an impressive focal point in your living space. Consider the amount of the heating your home will require when selecting a fireplace set. This will depend upon some factors, such as the power of the fireplace, your current electricity rates and the length of time you're planning on using it each day. To determine Freestanding electric fireplace suites , you must divide the wattage of your fireplace by the electricity company's energy rate per Kilowatt hour. The mantelpiece and surround of your fireplace also have a significant impact on the look of your fireplace. Some are intricate designs that add visual interest, while others have a more subtle look that blends into any style of interior. You can also find one that features an LED inside glow log effect that gives the appearance of a real flame without using any fuel. When it comes to fireplaces there are four types that are available: wood (nice to view and feel but less efficient; emits air pollutants like particulate matter carbon monoxide, particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide) gas (more efficient in energy use, but still produces carbon monoxide, burns synthetic or natural logs) and electric (uses a coil and fan that doesn't release dangerous gasses, and is extremely economical and comfortable). If you're looking to get the most out of your fireplace set-up make sure you choose one that has high BTUs. This will warm your home faster and give an authentic flame effect.
