7 Useful Tips For Making The Most Out Of Your Firesuites

Firesuites - The Perfect Way to Warm Your Home

The fireplace suite is made up of four main components: an inset fire, surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel. It can be used with solid fuel, gas or electric.

The suit chosen must adhere to safety standards specific to the industry such as NFPA in order to ensure adequate protection against hazards that have been identified. For instance, proximity suits prioritize safeguarding firefighters against radiant heat and molten metal splashes.

Gas

Gas fires are a great choice for modern homes because they allow you to control the flame effect and the amount of heat produced by the simple control located within the fire. Fireplace Megastore offers a selection of gas suites from top manufacturers like Elgin & Hall and Burley & Gazco in a range of sizes, styles and finishes that will suit modern and traditional homes. Suites come with a choice between traditional chimney flue fireplaces powered by gas and balanced flue fireplaces for homes without chimneys.

Gas fire suites can completely transform rooms when installed correctly in the correct chimney opening. The main components of a fireplace suite are the surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel. Based on the type of fire selected, the surround can either be made of stone or manufactured stone, and is designed to compliment the fire in terms of size as well as colour and shape.

Traditionally, homeowners who live in homes with Pre-Cast flues were restricted to standard-sized shallow inset gas fires that are placed on top of a hearth but nowadays, thanks to the innovative Earlston 950 by Elgin & Hall you can build a chic, complete contemporary marble fireplace suite which includes a large landscape feature gas fire that lets the beautiful flames shine in the center. This stunning suite is ideal for installation on a flat wall into an existing Class 2 Pre-Cast opening and is available in White or Manila micro marble and the option of the Bauhaus fret or chrome finish gas fire.

Electric

Electric fire suites are available in a range of attractive styles and finishes, adding warmth to your living space and creating a striking focal point. These suites don't require the use of a chimney or flue, and come with a range of features that make them an ideal choice.

In the process of heating, electric fireplaces use fans to draw cool air into the chamber and then re-heat it at a higher temperature before it's released back into your room. This system is very energy efficient, which means that your electric bill will be lower. The majority of models have a low-level setting to create soft lighting or an ambient atmosphere.
