What Are Fire Suites?
Fire suites include hearths, surrounds and other components of a fireplace. They can be an impressive focal point for your living space and add to the beauty of a gas or electric fireplace.
Aluminized suits reflect radiant heat while providing insulation against high temperatures, and are often used in steel mills or welding operations. Knowing the threat your workers might face aids in determining the right protection suit for the job.
Gas
Gas fire suites offer an elegant and modern version of fireplace designs, with the benefit of flame effect and heat output. They can be fitted in homes that have chimneys. They can also be installed in homes with pre-cast chimneys. They can be hung on the wall or incorporated into a fireplace.
These kinds of fires are powered by an natural gas supply that is connected to your central heating system or to an external propane tank. It is essential to work with a certified gas engineer to ensure that your gas installation is safe and completed properly.
The Waney Ashford Solid Oak Gas Fire Suite is a combination of rustic charm with traditional design, featuring the full Waney Ashford Solid Oak Fireplace and is complemented by the classic Pureglow Blenheim Gas Fire to add character and warmth to your home. This set is ideal for homes with pre-cast flues constructed of bricks or concrete walls.
For those with flat walls, a hole in the wall gas fire may be the perfect solution. These type of gas fires can be fitted to the wall and work with either natural or LPG. They usually have radiant bars and are ideal to generate plenty of heat. They are usually with large control handles that are simple to operate for people who have mobility issues.
Another type of gas fire is a balanced flue, that can be fitted to homes that have chimneys. They are powered by natural gas which is delivered from the ground via a network that connects seven reception points along the coast that are also referred to "beach terminals". From here the gas is transported to your home, where it's used for heating, and any by-products are vented directly back outside.
The final type of gas fireplace is vented or not vented. Vented gas fires can be incorporated in your existing chimney or a factory-built metal chimney, and the exhaust is directed to the outside via a flexible liner or one pipe inside the chimney breast. Non-vented fires, however, make use of a hotbox to create an effect of flame. The heat is transferred through your room's air and out of the chimney breast.
Electricity
Electric fire suites are an ideal option for those looking to create the appearance of a fireplace, but don't want to deal with chimneys, flues, or other major structural work. They can be put in place easily by putting them in a flush position against a wall and plugging into a power outlet. They are available in a variety of styles, ranging from modern to traditional, and are extremely versatile.
Electric fire suites, unlike gas-fires, emit no heat. Instead, they use an innovation known as "flame effects" to create the appearance of real flames as well as smoke. These are achieved using LED lights and mirrors that create a lifelike glow. Some of the advanced models use water vapor and colored lighting to create holographic flickering flames. This is a popular option, and it can be quite realistic.
There are a variety of electric fire suites ranging from inset to wall mounted. Elgin & Hall Chollerton is an inset electric suite that is available with a fashionable Black Nickel finish or Chrome contemporary finish. free standing fireplace mantel is a great choice for a contemporary or modern living room. Elgin & Hall Vitalia, an elegant marble electric suite, is available. It features fine detailing and a stepped style with an angle that can work in a traditional or modern living spaces.
Some of the more advanced electric fire suites can also provide thermostatic options and timers. They can be programmed to turn off automatically after an agreed upon time or when the room is at the desired temperature. This helps save energy and money as the room is only heated when it is required.
You should also consider the fireplace you prefer when selecting an electric fire suite. Some of our customers opt to combine their fire set with the hearth and surround, while others opt for a simple mantelpiece or an open-fronted electric fire.

Solid Fuel
Solid fuel fire suites add the traditional, warm style to your home. The flickering flames that come from real wood logs or coal create a warm glow that is soothing. It's no wonder this kind of fireplace is still popular particularly in winter, when a fire is able to help lower your energy bills.
Solid fuel furnaces are ideal for larger spaces, since they provide central heating and hot running water. The system makes use of the use of pellets, coal or wood-fired stove to warm the air. The heated air is then circulated around the house through a heating system and blown into room ducting through vents.
A solid fuel fire requires a grate and ash pan that is below the fire and a chimney to exhaust the smoke and gases. A chimney should be lined with a material that is compliant with the relevant regulations and must be lined with a suitable product. The fire suit must be installed by a qualified technician, and regularly checked for safety and performance. Creosote accumulation in the chimney is an important fire hazard in solid fuel appliances. Proper maintenance and care are therefore essential.
Solid fuel fireplaces are more expensive to run. However, a wide range of designs and fuel options are available to fit any style of interior.
Many customers are looking for a multi-combination fire suite that can be utilized with either a gas or a solid fuel fire. But, this isn't currently possible as the two fire types work in very different ways.
To ensure safe burning, it is important to choose dried and seasoned logs. This will make the fuel burn more efficiently because less moisture is emitted when burning off. Avoid burning green or wet logs as they could cause creosote buildup and chimney fires. A well-seasoned log will generate more heat than a log that is raw, and so is worth the extra investment.
