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' suites are ideal for bedrooms, living rooms, extensions and bathrooms. Hotels with fireplaces offer an inherent luxury that creates warm memories and inspires guests to returning. Learn how you can bring this feel to your hotel. The hearth The hearth is a flat platform which is situated at the base of a fireplace. It is designed to protect the wall and floor from embers or heat damage. It is typically constructed of non-combustible materials such as brick or stone and extends 16 to 18 inches in front of the firebox. Electric fireplaces are typically 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 combine to create an area of interest that will enhance aesthetics and make your home more welcoming. Suites are great for anyone looking to give their interior a new look and revamp it. Suites are available in a broad selection of finishes, styles and colours that can be matched to any decor. They also provide a broad variety of choices when it comes to kind of fire and effect as well as heating outputs. Conventional gas-fuelled fires are the ideal choice for homes that have chimneys, and balanced flue fires are a different option that can be used safely in properties without a chimney. Electric fireplaces are an excellent option for those looking to add a focal piece to their living space without the need to install an actual wood or gas fire. They generate their own heat by convection which draws in cool air and warms it up before venting out into the room. In contrast to wood-burning fireplaces suites do not release carbon monoxide, which could be dangerous if inhaled. The back panel As the name suggests, the fireplace back panel is located in the back of the fireplace's opening. It helps to create an attractive 'n'-shaped design with the mantelpiece, surround and the inset fire. It is made from a variety of heat-resistant materials such as granite and stone. The back panel is typically included in a fireplace suite that includes a surround the mantelpiece, and an inset fire appliance. This is an ideal way to save time and hassle when installing the fireplace as the components are designed to be a seamless fit, both structurally and aesthetically.

When choosing a fireplace set-up, make sure to consider how much heat you'll need to heat your home. This will depend on a number of factors, such as the fireplace's wattage and the current prices for electricity, and how many hours you plan to use it every day. To find this out, you need to divide the wattage of the fireplace 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 style of interior. There is a selection with an LED inner glow log that gives the illusion of a real fireplace without any fuel. When it comes to fireplaces, there are four types that are available: wood (nice to view and feel but less efficient; releases air pollutants like particulate matter carbon monoxide, particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide) and gas (more efficient in energy use, but still produces carbon monoxide, burns natural or synthetic logs); and electric (uses a coil and fan that doesn't release dangerous gases, is very cost-effective and comfortable). Choose a fireplace suite with the highest BTU rating if you want the most effective results. This will warm your home faster and create a more authentic fire effect.
