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 the real flame effect.
Hotels with fireplaces have an inherent feeling of luxury that orchestrates warm memories and encourages customers to return. Find out how to add this feeling to your hotel.
The hearth
The hearth is a flat platform which is situated at the base of a fireplace. It's designed to protect the floor and walls from heat damage or embers. It is typically constructed of non-combustible material 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. These elements combine to create an area of interest that will improve the aesthetics of your home and make your home more welcoming. Suites are ideal for anyone looking to give their home a new look and revamp it.
Suites come in a wide selection of styles, finishes and colours to suit any decor. There is also a range of options for the kind of fire, flame effect and heating output. Conventional gas-fueled fires are the ideal choice for homes that have a chimney, while balanced flue fires are a viable alternative that can be used in homes without chimneys.
Electric fireplaces are an excellent option for those looking to add a focal point to their living space without having to put in an actual wood or gas fire. The suites generate their own heat by using the process of convection. They draw cold air, warms it and then ejects it out into the room. Contrary to fireplaces that burn wood, these suites do not emit carbon monoxide, which can be dangerous if breathed in.
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' look with the mantelpiece, surround and the inset fire. It can be constructed of various heat-resistant materials such as granite and stone.
The majority of fireplace sets come with back panels as part of an all-in-one package which includes a surround, mantelpiece and inset fire appliance. This will help you save time and effort when installing, since the components are designed to fit together seamlessly.
There are also standalone back panels that can be purchased which are perfect for situations when you're replacing an electric or gas fireplace and wish to improve the appearance of the current chimney breast without removing it. Back panels are available in a range of different designs and materials, so you can choose the right one for your home.
Back panels are not just stylish and stylish, but they're also made of heat-resistant materials. This is important because it shields your walls and floors from the effects of the fireplace suite. This is especially true if you opt for a gas or solid fuel fireplace, because they generate an immense amount of heat that could be transferred to the surrounding areas via the wall and ceiling.

The fire

Take into consideration how much the amount of heat your home will require when you select the right fireplace set. This will depend upon some factors, such as the power of the fireplace and the current electricity rates and the length of time you plan to use it daily. Divide the wattage of the fireplace by the energy rate per kilowatt hour charged by your electricity provider.
The surround and mantelpiece of your fireplace also have a major impact on how it looks. Some have intricate designs that add an additional dimension of visual interest to the room, while others offer a more subtle look that blends in with all interior styles. There is even one that features an LED inside glow log effect to give the impression of a real fire without using any fuel.
When it comes to fire places there are four kinds that are available: wood (nice to view and feel but less efficient; emits air pollutants like particulate matter carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide) gas (more efficient in terms of energy, but still releases carbon monoxide, burns natural or synthetic logs); and electric (uses an electric coil and fan process that doesn't release dangerous gases, is very cost-effective and comfortable). Select a fireplace set-up with an extremely high BTU rating if you want the best results. This will heat your room faster and give a more realistic flame effect.
