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 embers or heat. It is typically constructed of non-combustible material like brick or stone, and is 16 to 18 inches prior to the firebox. Electric fireplace suites are often without a hearth.

This is why suites are ideal for anyone looking to revamp their interior and give it a fresh new look.

Suites come in a wide range of finishes, styles and colors to match any style. There are also a variety of options for the type of flame effect, fire and heating output. Gas-fueled fires that are conventional are the ideal option for homes with a chimney, while balanced flue fires are a different option that can be used in homes that do not have a chimney.

Electric fireplaces are a great option for those who want to create a focal point to their living spaces without the hassle of installing an old-fashioned wood burner or gas fire. The suites generate their own heat using a process known as convection. They draw in cool air, then warms it and then vents it out into the room. Unlike wood-burning fireplaces, these suites do not emit carbon monoxide, which could be dangerous if inhaled.

The back panel





A fireplace back panel is situated in the back of the fireplace opening. It assists in creating an 'n-shaped' design with the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire. This can be made of various heat-resistant materials such as granite and stone.

The back panel is usually included in a fireplace suite that includes a surround the mantelpiece, and an inset fire appliance. This can be an ideal way to save time and hassle when installing the fireplace as the components are made to work seamlessly visually and structurally.

The fire

The heart of any fireplace suite is the fire itself however, you don't need to opt for a traditional wood-burning fireplace. There are a variety of options out there, including gas and electric.

You can also choose a fireplace that is larger or with a larger frame that frames the fireplace to create a stunning focal in your room.

Take into consideration the amount of the heating your home will require when selecting a fireplace set. It will be contingent on a few factors including the fireplace's wattage and the current prices for electricity, and how many hours you're planning to use it daily. Divide the wattage of the fireplace by the energy rate per kilowatt-hour charged by your electricity provider.

The surround of your fireplace and mantelpiece will also play a big role in the way it appears in your space. Some are designed with intricate designs that add an additional layer of visual interest to the space, while others have more minimalist and blends into most interior styles. There is even a suite that has an LED inner glow log effect to give the appearance of a real fire, without needing any fuel.

When it comes to fire places there are four kinds: wood (nice to feel and view but less efficient; releases air pollutants like particulate matter, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide) gas (more energy-efficient but still generates carbon monoxide, burns synthetic or natural logs) and electric (uses an electric coil and fan system, doesn't release any dangerous gases, very economical and cozy). Choose a fireplace suite with the highest BTU rating to get the most effective results. This will warm the room more quickly and will also give a more authentic flame effect.
