The Advanced Guide To Fireplace Suite
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, extensions and bedrooms but also the bathroom for the authentic flame ambience. Hotels with fireplaces provide a sense of warmth and luxury that entices guests to return. Discover how you can add this feel to your hotel property. The hearth The hearth is a flat platform which is situated at the base of a fireplace. It is designed to shield the floor and wall from heat damage or embers. It is typically constructed of non-combustible materials like brick or stone 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 a centrepiece that enhances the appearance of any room and make your home feel more inviting. This is why suites are ideal for anyone looking to revamp their interior and give it a fresh new look. Suites are available in different styles, colors and finishes to suit any style. There are also a wide range of options for the type of fire, flame effect and heating output. Conventional fires with gas fuel are best suited to homes with chimneys, whereas balanced flue fireplaces are safe to use without chimneys. Electric fireplace suites are an excellent option for those who want to create an element of interest to their living spaces without the hassle of putting up traditional wood burners or a gas fire. They generate their own heat by using the process of convection. It draws in cool air, then warms it and then ejects it out into the room. These suites do not emit carbon monoxide which is dangerous to inhale. The back panel A back panel for the fireplace is situated at the back of the fireplace opening. It helps to create an 'n-shaped' design with the mantelpiece, surround, and the inset fire. It is made of various heat-resistant materials including stone, granite and slate. The back panel is typically included in a fireplace set that includes a surround a mantelpiece, and an inset fire appliance. This will save you time and effort during installation as the components are designed to fit together seamlessly. There are also standalone back panels that are perfect to replace a gas fireplace or electric fireplace, or to improve the appearance of an existing chimney breast. Back panels are available in various styles and materials so that you can choose the best one for your home. Back panels aren't just elegant and stylish, but they're also made of heat-resistant materials. This is important because they shield your walls and floors from the effects of the fireplace suite. This is particularly true when you select the gas or solid fuel fireplace, as they will produce a significant amount of heat which can be transferred to surrounding areas via the wall or ceiling.

When selecting a fireplace suite, be sure to consider the amount of heat you'll need for your home. This will depend on a few factors, including the wattage of the fireplace, your current electricity rates and the amount of time you're planning to use it every day. To determine this, you can divide the wattage of your fireplace by the electricity company's energy rate per Kilowatt hour. A fire place's surround and mantelpiece also play a big role in the appearance of your space. Some are designed with intricate designs that add a new dimension of visual interest to the room, while others are more minimalist and blends in with all styles of interiors. You can also find the suite with an LED inner glow log effect to give the appearance of a real flame without making use of any fuel. There are four types of fire places: wood (nice to look at and feel but less efficient, releases air pollutants such as carbon monoxide and particulate matter) gas (more efficient in energy use, 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 cozy). Select a fireplace set-up with the highest BTU rating if you want the best results. This will make your room warm faster and give more realistic flame effects.
