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 spaces extensions, bathrooms, and kitchens. Hotels with fireplaces give an atmosphere of warmth and luxury that encourages customers to return. Learn how you can bring this luxury to your hotel. The hearth The hearth is a flat, sloping platform that is located at the base of the fireplace. Its function is to protect the floor and walls from embers or heat. It is usually constructed from non-combustible material like brick or stone, and is 16 to 18 inches before 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. These parts operate in tandem to create a centrepiece that can enhance the look of any room and make your home appear more welcoming. As a result, suites are the ideal choice for those who wants to transform their home and give it a brand new look. Suites are available in different styles, colours and finishes to match any style. There is also a range of choices for the type of flame effect, fire and heating output. Gas-fuelled conventional fires work best in homes with chimneys. However, balanced flue fireplaces can be used without chimneys. Electric fireplace suites can be an excellent option for those who wish to add a focal piece to their living space without having to install an actual wood or gas fire. The suites generate their own heat by using the process of convection. It draws in cool air, warms it and then vents it out into the room. In contrast to wood-burning fireplaces suites do not emit carbon monoxide, which could be harmful if inhaled. The back panel A fireplace back panel is situated behind the fireplace opening. It assists in creating an 'n-shaped' design with the surround, mantelpiece, and the inset fire. This can be made of various heat-resistant materials such as granite and stone. The majority of fireplace suites have back panels as part of an all-in-one package which includes the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire appliance. This is a great way to save time and hassle in the process of installation since the components have been designed to be a seamless fit, both structurally and aesthetically. There are also separate back panels that can be purchased, which are ideal for situations when you are replacing an electric or gas fireplace and want to change the appearance of the current chimney without having to remove it. The back panels are available in a range of different styles and materials, allowing you to find the perfect one for your home. Back panels aren't just attractive they are made of materials that are resistant to heat. This is important as it shields your floors and walls from the effects of a fireplace suite. This is especially true when you select a solid fuel or gas fireplace suite. They'll generate a large amount of heat that is transferred via the ceiling and wall to the surrounding area. A back panel can help to tie together your entire fireplace suite, especially if you're going for a modern look.
