Hotels with fireplaces give an atmosphere of warmth and luxury that draws customers back. Find out how you can bring this luxury to your hotel.

The hearth

The hearth is the flat piece of furniture which is situated at the base of a fireplace, designed to protect the floor and walls from heat damage or embers. It is usually made from non-combustible materials such as brick or stone and extends 16 to 18 inches prior to the firebox. Most gas and wood fireplaces require a hearth and Cheap Electric Fireplace With Mantel fireplace suites typically don't have one.

As a general rule, fireplace suites consist of four main components; an inset fire (either gas or freestanding electric fire suites), a surround/mantelpiece, a back panel and the hearth. They work in conjunction to create a focal point that can enhance the look of any space and make your home appear more inviting. This is why suites are the ideal choice for those looking to revamp their interior and give it a fresh new look.

Suites are available in various designs, colors and finishes to suit any style. There are also a variety of options for the kind of flame effect, fire and heating output. Gas-fuelled conventional fires work best in homes with chimneys. However, balanced flue fireplaces are safe to use without chimneys.

Electric fireplace suites are an excellent alternative for those looking to add a focal point to their living spaces without the hassle of installing traditional wood burners or a gas fire. The suites generate their own heat by convection that draws in cool air, then heats it before venting it out into the room. Contrary to fireplaces that burn wood, these suites don't emit carbon monoxide, which could be dangerous if inhaled.

The back panel

A fireplace back panel is located at the back of the fireplace opening. It assists in creating an 'n-shaped' design with the mantelpiece, surround, and the inset fire. It is made from a variety of materials that are heat-resistant, including stone and granite.

The back panel is usually part of a fireplace suite that includes a surround, a mantelpiece, and an inset fire appliance. This can be an excellent way to cut down on time and effort in the process of installation since the components are made to work seamlessly visually and structurally.

There are also stand-alone back panels that are perfect for replacing an electric or gas fireplace, or for enhancing the appearance of an existing chimney breast. Back panels are available in different designs and materials, so you can pick the one that is suitable for your home.

Alongside being fashionable as well as a stylish option, back panels are generally made from a heat-resistant material, which is important to shield your walls and floor from the effects of your fireplace suite. This is particularly true when you choose the gas or solid fuel fireplace, as they will produce an immense amount of heat which can be transferred to nearby areas via the wall and ceiling.

A back panel can help you create a cohesive design for your fireplace suite, particularly if you are looking for a modern design.

The surround/mantelpiece

They are great for homes where space is at a minimum or where a chimney and flue aren't available.

The fire

The heart of any fireplace is the fire itself, but you don't have to opt for a traditional wood burning fireplace. There are plenty of other alternatives available, such as cheap electric fireplace with mantel and gas. The most important thing is to choose a design that complements the space and will meet your needs.

Think about how much heat your home will need when you select a fireplace set. It will be contingent on a few factors, such as the wattage of the fireplace and the current prices for electricity and how long you're planning to use it every day. Divide the wattage of your fireplace by the energy rate per kilowatt hour charged by your electricity provider.

The mantelpiece and surround of your fireplace also have a major impact on the look of your fireplace. Some are intricate designs that add visual interest, while others have a more subtle design that blends into any interior style. There is a selection with an LED inner glow log to give the illusion of a real fireplace, without the need for fuel.

There are four types of fire places that include wood (nice for viewing and feeling but less efficient, releases air pollutants, including carbon monoxide and particulate matter), gas (more efficient in energy use, but still emits carbon monoxide, and burns natural or synthesized logs) and electric (uses the technology of fan and coil and doesn't release any harmful gases, is 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 more quickly and will also give a more authentic flame effect.
