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 is ideal for living rooms, extensions and bedrooms but they also work well in bathrooms for the authentic flame ambience. Hotels with fireplaces offer an inherent feeling of luxury that creates warm memories and inspires guests to returning. Find out how you can add this feeling to your hotel. The hearth The hearth is a flat, sloping platform at the base of the fireplace. Its purpose is to protect the floor and walls from heat or embers. It is typically constructed of non-combustible substances like brick or stone, and it extends from 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 combine to create an attractive focal point that can improve the aesthetics of your home and make your home more inviting. This is why suites are a great option for anyone seeking to update their interior and give it a fresh new look. Suites are available in a broad range of styles, finishes and colours to suit any style. There are also a variety of choices for the type of flame effect, fire and heating output. Gas-fueled fires that are conventional are the best choice for homes with a chimney, while balanced flue fires are a different option that can be used safely in homes that do not have a chimney. Electric fireplaces are a great option for those who want to create an accent to their living spaces without the hassle of putting in traditional wood burners or a gas fire. The suites generate their own heat using a process known as convection. It draws in cool air, warms it and then ejects it out into the room. These suites do not emit carbon monoxide that is dangerous to breathe in. The back panel A fireplace back panel is situated behind the fireplace opening. It is used to create an 'n-shaped' look with the mantelpiece, surround, and the inset fire. It can be constructed from several materials that are resistant to heat, such as stone, granite and slate. Most fireplace suites feature back panels as part of a complete solution; packaged alongside a surround, mantelpiece and inset fire appliance. This will help you save time and effort during installation, because the components are designed to be able to fit seamlessly. There are also separate back panels available, which are ideal for situations when you're replacing a gas or electric fireplace and want to change the appearance of the existing chimney breast without having to remove it. Back panels are available in a range of different styles and materials, so you'll be able to find the perfect one for your home.

When you are choosing a fireplace set-up, make sure to take into consideration the amount of heat you'll need to heat your home. This will depend on a few factors, such as the wattage of your fireplace, your current electricity prices and how long you plan to use it each day. To find this out, you need to divide the fire's wattage by the electricity company's energy rate per Kilowatt hour. The surround and mantelpiece of your fireplace can also have a major effect on the look of your fireplace. Some are designed with intricate designs that add a new layer of visual interest to the space, while others offer a more subtle look that will blend in with most interior styles. There is even the suite with an LED inner glow log effect that gives the illusion of a real fire, without making use of any fuel. When it comes to fire places, there are four types: wood (nice to feel and view but less efficient; releases air pollutants like particulate matter carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide); gas (more efficient in energy use, but still produces carbon monoxide, burns synthetic or natural logs) and electric (uses the coil and fan process that doesn't release dangerous gases, is very cost-effective and comfortable). Choose a fireplace that has an extremely high BTU rating to get the most effective results. This will warm your home quicker and create more realistic flame effects.
