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 and bathrooms.
Hotels with fireplaces provide a sense of warmth and luxury that draws customers back. Learn how you can bring this feeling to your hotel.
The hearth
The hearth is the flat platform which is situated at the base of a fireplace, designed to protect the wall and floor from embers or heat damage. It is typically constructed of non-combustible material like stone or brick and extends 16 to 18 inches before the firebox. The majority of gas and wood fireplaces require a hearth while electric fireplace suites often don't 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 parts operate in tandem to create a centrepiece that can enhance the look of any room and make your home feel more inviting. As a result, suites are the ideal choice for those seeking to update their interior and give it a new look.
Suites are available in different styles, colors and finishes to suit any decor. There are also a wide range of choices for the type of fire, flame effect and heating output. Gas-fueled fires that are conventional are the ideal option for homes with chimneys, while balanced flue fires are an alternative that can be used safely in homes that do not have a chimney.
Electric fireplace suites are a great alternative for those looking to add an element of interest to their living spaces without the hassle of putting in traditional wood burners or a gas fire. They generate their own heat using a process known as convection. This draws cold air, warms it, and then releases 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 back panel for the fireplace is situated behind the fireplace opening. It is used to create an 'N-shaped' design by combining the surround, mantelpiece, and inset fire. It is made of a number of materials that resist heat, including stone, granite and slate.
The majority of fireplace sets come with back panels as part of a complete solution; packaged alongside a mantelpiece, a surround and an inset fire appliance. This can save you time and effort when installing, as the components are designed to fit together seamlessly.
There are also separate back panels that are ideal to replace a gas fireplace or wooden electric fireplace suites fireplace, or to improve the appearance of a chimney breast that is already in place.
