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 are ideal for living rooms extension, bedrooms and also for bathrooms to create the real flame effect. Hotels with fireplaces provide an inherent luxury that creates warm memories and influences customer return. Find out how to bring this feeling to your hotel. The hearth The hearth is a flat, sloping platform at the bottom of the fireplace. Its purpose is to protect the floor and wall from embers or heat. It is usually made from non-combustible materials such as stone or brick and extends 16 to 18 inches prior to the firebox. Most wood and gas fireplaces require a hearth, while electric fireplace suites usually do not have one. 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 elements are grouped together to create a focal point that will enhance aesthetics and make your home more welcoming. As a result, suites are a great option for anyone seeking to update their interior and give it a brand new look. Suites are available in a broad variety of finishes, styles and colours to suit any style. There are also a wide range of choices for the type of fire, flame effect and heating output. Conventional gas-fueled fires are the best 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 looking to add a focal point to their living space without having to install traditional wood or gas fire. The suites generate their own heat by convection, which draws in cool air, then heats it up before venting out into the room. Contrary to fireplaces that burn wood, these suites don't emit carbon monoxide that can be harmful if inhaled. The back panel A fireplace back panel is located in the back of the fireplace opening. It is used to create an 'N-shaped' design by combining the mantelpiece, surround and the inset fire. This can be made from various materials that resist heat, including slate, granite, and stone. The back panel is typically part of a fireplace suite that includes a surround a mantelpiece, as well as an inset fire appliance. This will help you save time and effort when installing, as the components are designed to be able to fit seamlessly. There are also separate back panels that are perfect to replace a gas fireplace or electric fireplace, or for enhancing the appearance of an existing chimney breast. These back panels are offered in a variety of styles and materials so that you can choose the right one for your home.

When you are choosing a fireplace set-up, make sure to take into consideration the amount of heat you'll require to heat your home.

To determine this, you can divide the fire's wattage by the energy rate charged by your electricity company per Kilowatt hour. A fire place's surround and mantelpiece can be a significant factor in how it looks in your space. Some are designed with intricate designs that add an extra dimension of visual interest to the room, while others offer more minimalist and blends into most interior styles. There is a selection with an LED inner glow log that gives the illusion of a real fireplace, without the need for fuel. There are four kinds of fire places: wood (nice to look at and feel but less efficient, it releases air pollutants such as particulate matter and carbon monoxide) gas (more efficient in terms of energy efficiency, but still produces carbon monoxide and is burned by natural or synthesized logs) and electric (uses coil and fan technology that doesn't release dangerous gasses, is very cost-effective and cozy). If you want to get the most value of your fireplace suite make sure you choose one that has high BTUs. This will warm the room faster and provide a more authentic flame effect.
