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 living rooms, bedrooms extensions, bathrooms and bedrooms. Hotels with fireplaces provide an atmosphere of luxury and warmth that draws customers back. Learn how you can bring this feel to your hotel property. The hearth The hearth is a flat platform that is located at the bottom of a fireplace. It's designed to protect the floor and walls from heat damage or embers. It is usually made from non-combustible materials such as brick or stone, and is 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 parts operate in tandem to create a focal point that will enhance the aesthetics of any space and make your home appear more inviting. This is why suites are a great option for anyone looking to revamp their interior and give it a fresh new look. Fireplaces & Mantels are available in a variety of designs, colors and finishes that will fit into any style. There are also a variety of options for the kind of fire, flame effect and heating output. Gas-fueled fires that are conventional are the best choice for homes that have a chimney, while balanced flue fires are an alternative that can be used safely in homes that do not have a chimney. Electric fireplace suites are an excellent alternative for those looking to add 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 through convection, which draws in cool air and heats it up before venting it out into the room. Contrary to fireplaces that burn wood, these suites do not release carbon monoxide, which could be dangerous if breathed in. The back panel The name suggests that the back of your fireplace is in the rear of the fireplace's opening. It assists in creating an elegant 'n' shape in the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire. This can be made from various materials that resist heat, including slate, granite and stone. The back panel is usually included in a fireplace suite which includes a surround, a mantelpiece, as well as an inset fire appliance. This is an excellent way to cut down on time and effort when installing the fireplace as the components have been designed to be a seamless fit, both structurally and aesthetically. There are also stand-alone back panels that are perfect for replacing an electric or gas fireplace, or for enhancing the appearance of a chimney breast that is already in place. These back panels are available in a variety of styles and materials so you can choose the right one for your home. Back panels are not just attractive they are constructed of durable materials. This is important because they shield your floors and walls from the effects of a fireplace suite. This is especially true if you opt for the gas or solid fuel fireplace suite, as they will produce an enormous amount of heat which can be transferred to nearby areas via the wall and ceiling. A back panel will allow you create a unified design for your fireplace suite, particularly if you are going for a contemporary design.

The fire The heart of any fireplace suite is the fire, but you don't have to opt for a traditional wood-burning fireplace. Electric and gas are both options. The trick is to choose the design that is appropriate for your space and meets your requirements. You can also opt for a larger fireplace or one with a wider frame that frames the fireplace to create a stunning focal point in your living space. When you are choosing a fireplace set-up, make sure to think about the amount of heat you'll require for your home. It will be determined by a few factors, including the wattage of the fireplace as well as the current rates for electricity and the amount of time you're planning to use it every day. Divide the wattage of your fireplace by the energy rate per kilowatt hour charged by your electricity provider. The fireplace's surround and mantelpiece will also have a major impact on the appearance of your home. Some have intricate designs that add an additional layer of visual interest to the space, while others are a more subtle look that blends in with all styles of interiors. You can find a suite with an LED inner glow log that gives the illusion of a fireplace without using any fuel. When it comes to fire places there are four types: wood (nice to look at and feel but less efficient; emits air pollutants such as particulate matter carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide) gas (more efficient in energy use, but still produces carbon monoxide and burns synthetic or natural logs); and electric (uses a coil and fan process, doesn't release any dangerous gases, very economical and comfortable). Select a fireplace set-up with an extremely high BTU rating to get the most effective results. This will warm your home faster and give an authentic flame effect.
