What Are Fire Suites?
Fire suites are complete fireplaces that include hearths and surrounds. They can be an impressive focal point for your living room and enhance the appeal of the electric or gas fireplace.
Aluminized suits are commonly used in a variety of settings, including steel mills and welding operations. They reflect radiant heat, as well as shielding from temperatures that are extremely high. Selecting the right protective suit is an issue of determining the degree of risk your employees could be exposed to.
Gas
Gas fire suites are a modern and sleek approach to fireplace design. They offer the benefits of a flame effect, as well as heat output. They can be fitted in properties with or without chimneys. They can also be used in homes that have pre-cast chimneys. They can be hung on the wall or integrated into the fireplace.
These types of fires are powered by the natural gas supply that is connected to your central heating system or an external propane tank. To ensure that your gas installation is safe you must work with an engineer who is certified.
The Waney Ashford Solid Oak Gas Fire Suite is a combination of traditional design and rustic charm. It comes with the complete Waney Ashford Solid Oak Fireplace and the traditional Pureglow Blenheim Gas Fire. This suite will add warmth and character to your home. This suite can be installed to your home with or without a chimney and is ideal for homes with pre-cast flues that are constructed from concrete or clay blocks that are incorporated into your walls.
A hole in the wall for a gas fireplace may be the best solution for those who have a flat wall. These type of gas fires can be mounted to your wall and work with either natural or LPG. They usually have radiant bars that can generate plenty of heat.
Another type of gas fire is a balanced flue fire, which can be fitted to homes that have chimneys. These fires run on natural gas, which is supplied through pipelines that connect to seven major coastal reception points, often referred to as beach terminals. From here, the gas travels to your home, where it's used to heat your home. Any by-products are vented directly back to the outside.
The final type of gas fireplace is vented or not vented. Vented gas fires can be fitted in your existing chimney or a factory-built metal chimney, with exhaust transferred to the outside by a flexible liner or one pipe inside the chimney breast. Non-vented gas fires on the other hand, use a hot box to produce a flame effect and heat, with the heat being transferred to the air inside your room and then out via the chimney breast.
Electric
Electric fire suites are ideal for those who want the look of a fireplace but don't want to deal with the hassle of chimneys, flues or significant structural work. They can be easily installed by putting them in a flush position against the wall and plugging into a power outlet. They are available in a broad selection of styles ranging from modern to traditional and are extremely adaptable.
Contrary to gas fires fire suites don't emit heat, but instead employ the technology known as "flame effect" to replicate the appearance of real flames and smoke. These are created by using LED lights and reflective mirrors to produce an authentic glow. Some of the advanced models use water vapor and color-changing lighting to create holographic flickering flames. This is a very popular option and can be very realistic.
electric fireplaces and surrounds are available in many different styles, from wall-mounted to inset. The Elgin & Hall Chollerton electric suite is an inset style that features an impressive glass front and is available in a fashionable Black Nickel or Chrome contemporary finish. It's perfect for a contemporary or modern living room. The stunning Elgin & Hall Vitalia is a luxurious marble electric suite that has fine detailing and an angled step design that can be incorporated into traditional or modern living spaces.
Some of the more sophisticated electric fire suites offer thermostatic use and timer options. This means that they can be set to automatically switch off after a certain time or after the room reaches a set temperature. This saves energy and money since the room is only heated when it is required.
You should also think about your preferred fireplace when you are choosing an electric fire suite. Some of our customers choose to combine their fire suite with the hearth and surround, while others choose a simple mantelpiece or an open-fronted electric fire. The kind of electric fire you select will also impact on the overall design and feel of your living space.

Solid Fuel
Solid fuel fire suites bring the traditional, warm style to your home. The flickering flames from real coal, wood or pebbles emit an inviting glow and create a tranquil atmosphere. This type of fireplace is popular especially during winter months, when a genuine flame can help reduce your energy consumption.
While open fireplaces and decorative stoves are popular however, a solid fuel furnace is ideal for larger spaces as they provide full domestic central heating and hot water. This system uses a coal, pellet or wood-fired stove to warm the air. The heated air is circulated through a heating system around the home and it is blown through vents to the rooms ducting.
A solid fuel fire requires a grate and ash pan beneath the fire, and an exhaust chimney to eliminate the gases and smoke. The chimney must be lined with a material that complies with the regulations applicable to it and be lined with the appropriate product. The fire suite must also be installed by a licensed technician, and regularly checked for safety and performance. Creosote buildup in the chimney is a major cause of fire in appliances that use solid fuel, so maintaining and taking care of the chimney is vital.
As a result, solid fuel fireplaces tend to cost more to operate than gas fires. However, a wide range of designs and fuel options are available to suit any style of interior.
Many customers would like to have a multi-combination fire system that could be utilized with a solid fuel or gas fire. But, this isn't currently feasible since both types of fire operate in very different ways.
It is essential to choose seasoned and dry logs to ensure safe burning. This will improve the efficiency of the fuel since less moisture is lost in the burning process. Avoid burning wet or green logs as they could cause creosote buildup and chimney fires. A well-seasoned log will produce more heat than a raw log, and so is worth the extra investment.
