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 give a sense of warmth and luxury that entices guests to return. Discover how you can add this luxury to your hotel property.

The hearth

The hearth is a flat platform at the base of the fireplace. Its function is to shield the floor and wall from heat or embers. It is usually constructed from non-combustible materials like brick or stone, and is 16 to 18 inches prior to the firebox. Electric fireplaces are usually 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 work together to create an attractive focal point that can improve the aesthetics of your home and make your home more welcoming. Suites are ideal for anyone who wants to give their home an updated look and restyle it.

Suites are available in different styles, colours and finishes that will fit into any style. They also provide a broad selection of options for the type of fire and effect, as well as heating outputs. Traditional fires that are gas-fueled are best suited to homes with chimneys. However, balanced flue fireplaces are safe to use without chimneys.

Electric fireplace suites are a great choice for those looking to add a focal point to their living space without having to install a traditional gas or wood fire. They generate their own heat through a process called convection, which draws in cool air, then heats it up before venting out into the room. Unlike wood-burning fireplaces, these suites don't emit carbon monoxide that can be dangerous if breathed in.

The back panel

A fireplace back panel is located behind the fireplace opening. It helps to create an 'n-shaped' design with the surround, mantelpiece, and the inset fire. It can be constructed from a number of heat-resistant materials including slate, granite and stone.

The majority of fireplace suites have a back panel as part of an all-in-one solution which includes the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire appliance. This can be a great way to save time and effort in the process of installation since the components have been designed to be a seamless fit visually and structurally.

This is especially true if you opt for the gas or solid fuel fireplace suite, since they produce an enormous amount of heat that can be transferred to the surrounding areas via the wall or ceiling.

Divide the wattage of your fireplace by the energy rate per kilowatt-hour charged by your electricity provider.

Some come with intricate designs that add an extra visual interest to the space, while others have more subtle and blends in with all styles of interiors. There is even a suite that has an LED glow log effect to give the impression of a real flame without making use of any fuel.

When it comes to fireplaces there are four kinds that are available: wood (nice to feel and view but less efficient; emits air pollutants like particulate matter carbon monoxide, particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide) and gas (more efficient in energy use, but still produces carbon monoxide, burns synthetic or natural logs) and electric (uses the coil and fan system that doesn't release dangerous gases, very economical and comfortable). Select a fireplace set-up with a high BTU rating to get the most effective results. This will warm your home faster and give more realistic flame effects.
