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, bathrooms, and kitchens.

Hotels with fireplaces have an innate feeling of luxury that creates warm memories and inspires guests to returning. Find out how to bring this experience to your hotel.

The hearth

The hearth is the flat piece of furniture that sits at the base of a fireplace. It's designed to protect the floor and wall from embers or heat damage. It is typically constructed of non-combustible materials such as brick or stone and extends 16 to 18 inches before 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 improve the aesthetics of your home and make your home 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 a broad range of styles, finishes and colours to suit any decor. There is also a range of options for the kind of flame effect, fire and heating output. Gas-fueled fires that are conventional are the ideal choice for homes that have chimneys, and balanced flue fires are a viable alternative that can be used in homes without chimneys.





Electric fireplace suites can be the ideal option for those who want to add a focal point to their living space without the need to install traditional wood or gas fire. They generate their own heat by using a process known as convection. It draws in cool air, warms it, and then releases it out into the room. These suites do not emit carbon monoxide, which is harmful to breathe in.

The back panel

A back panel for the fireplace is situated at the back of the fireplace opening. It assists in creating an 'n-shaped' design with the mantelpiece, surround and the inset fire. This can be made from a number of materials that are resistant to heat, such as slate, granite, and stone.

The back panel is usually included in a fireplace set which includes a surround, the mantelpiece, and an inset fire appliance. This will help you save time and effort during installation, as the components are designed to work seamlessly.

There are also separate back panels that are available, which are ideal in situations where you're replacing a gas or electric fireplace and wish to improve the appearance of the existing chimney breast without removing it. Back panels are available in a range of different designs and materials, allowing you to choose the right one for your home.

Back panels are not only stylish, but they are constructed of durable materials. This is crucial because they shield your floors and walls from the effects of the fireplace suite. This is particularly true if you choose a solid fuel or gas fireplace suite. They can generate lots of heat which can be transferred via the ceiling and wall to the surrounding area.

A back panel can aid in tying up the entire fireplace particularly if you're looking for a more modern design. This stunning flamerite Ador electric fireplace suite is a great example. It comes with a curved fire image that adds a more dramatic look to the fire. When combined with a contemporary open-fronted electric fireplace, this suite will make an impressive focal element in any living space, dining room or extension.

Alternatively, this Elgin and Hall Farnham Deluxe suite comes with the renowned Chollerton inset gas fireplace. This fireplace with a glass front is a real eye-catcher. It will completely transform any room when it is paired with the limestone surround and back panels.

The surround/mantelpiece

Modern electric suites are an excellent alternative to traditional fireplaces that need a back panel, a fire surround and other components. They can be set flush against the wall, creating an impressive focal point. These are ideal for homes where space is at a minimum or where a chimney or flue are not available.

The selection of electric fireplace suites at Fires2U offers a wide variety of styles and sizes which makes it easy to find the perfect one for your home.

The fire

The central element of any fireplace is the fire however, you don't have to opt for a traditional wood-burning fireplace. Electric and gas are both options. The key is to find the design that is appropriate for your room and meets your requirements. You can also choose a larger model or a fireplace with a wider panel to frame the fireplace and create a stunning focal point in your room.

Consider the amount of the amount of heat your home will require when selecting the right fireplace set. This will depend on several factors, including the amount of heat produced by the fireplace and the current electricity rates and the length of time you're planning on using it each day. Divide the wattage of the fireplace by the energy cost per kilowatt-hour that you pay your electricity provider.

The surround of your fireplace and mantelpiece can have a major impact on the way it appears in your space. Some come with intricate designs that add an additional visual interest to the room, while others offer more subtle and blends in with all styles of interiors. You can also find a suite that has an LED inside glow log effect that gives the appearance of a real flame without using any fuel.

When it comes to fire places, there are four types of wood (nice to look at and feel but less efficient; releases air pollutants like particulate matter, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide) and gas (more efficient in terms of energy, but still releases carbon monoxide and burns synthetic or natural logs) and electric (uses a coil and fan process that doesn't release dangerous gases, is very cost-effective and cozy). Choose a fireplace suite with a high BTU rating to get the best results. This will warm your home faster and give a more authentic flame effect.
