What Are Fire Suites?
Fire suites are comprised of hearths, surrounds and other components of a fireplace. They can create stunning centerpieces for your living space and can enhance the beauty of a electric or gas fireplace.
Aluminized suits reflect radiant heat, while protecting against high temperatures. They are commonly used in steel mills or welding operations. Knowing the threat your workers might face aids in deciding on the most suitable protective suit for the job.
Gas
Gas fire suites are modern and sleek take on fireplace design, and offer the benefit of flame effect and heat output. They can be incorporated into properties with or without a chimney. They can also be installed in homes with chimneys that are pre-cast. They can be hung on the wall or integrated into a fireplace.
These kinds 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 secure you must work with an engineer who is certified.
The Waney Ashford Solid Oak Gas Fire Suite blends rustic charm with traditional design with the full Waney Ashford Solid Oak Fireplace and complemented by the classic Pureglow Blenheim Gas Fire to give character and warmth to your home. This suite can be installed on your property with or without a chimney. It is suitable for properties with pre-cast flues that are constructed using clay or concrete blocks in your walls.
For those with a flat wall space, a hole in the wall gas fire may be the perfect solution. These kinds of gas fires can be fitted to the wall and work with either natural or LPG. They usually come with radiant bars and are great for generating lots of heat, usually with large controls that are easy 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 through a network that connects seven coastal reception points, also known as "beach terminals". The gas is then transported to your home, where it can be used to heat your home. Any by-products are vented to the outside.
The final type of gas fireplace is vented or not vented. Vented gas fireplaces can be erected within your existing chimney, or a metal chimney that was built by an industry-specific manufacturer. The exhaust is vented outside through an elongated lining or a single pipe inside the chimney breast. Non-vented fires make use of a hotbox to create the appearance of a flame. The heat is then transferred through your room's air and out of your chimney breast.
Electric
Electric fire suites can be an excellent option for those who are looking to create the appearance of a fireplace but don't want to deal with chimneys, flues, or other major structural work. Installing them is easy, as they sit flush against the wall and plug into an electrical socket. They are available in a broad variety of styles from contemporary to traditional and are extremely adaptable.
Electric fire suites, unlike gas fires, emit no heat. Instead, they employ an innovation called 'flame effects' to create the appearance of real flames as well as smoke. They do this by using LED lights and mirrors to produce a realistic glow. Some of the more sophisticated models employ water vapor and colored lighting to produce flickering flames with holographic effects. This is a popular option and can be quite realistic.
Electric fire suites are available in many different styles including wall-mounted and inset. Elgin & Hall Chollerton is an inset electric suite which comes in a chic Black Nickel finish or Chrome contemporary finish. It is ideal for any contemporary or modern living room. Elgin & Hall Vitalia, a luxury Marble electric suite, is available. It has fine detailing and a stepped design that has an angled angle that can be a perfect fit for a traditional or modern living spaces.
Some of the more sophisticated electric fireplace suites offer thermostatic use and timer options. This means that they can be set to automatically switch off after a set period of time or when the room reaches a set temperature. This can save energy and money because the room is only heated when it is needed.
It is also important to consider your preferred fireplace when you are choosing an electric fire suite. Some of our customers combine their electric fire suite with a hearth and surround and others opt for a simple mantelpiece. The type of electric fireplace you select will have a significant impact on the look and feel of your home.

Solid Fuel
A solid fuel fire set-up brings that cosy traditional look back to the heart of your home. The flickering flames from real wood logs, coal or pebbles give off a warm glow and create a tranquil atmosphere. This type of fireplace is popular, especially during the winter months when a real flame can help reduce your energy consumption.
Solid fuel furnaces are perfect for larger rooms because they provide central heating and hot water running. The system makes use of a wood burner, pellet heater or coal fired stove to heat air. The heated air is then circulated throughout the home through a heating system and blown into room ducting through vents.
A solid fuel fire requires a grate, ash pan and chimney for exhausting gases and smoke. The chimney should be lined with a suitable material and meet the applicable regulations. The fire suit must be installed by a licensed technician and regularly inspected for safety and performance. Creosote accumulation in the chimney is the main cause of fire in solid fuel appliances. Maintenance and proper care is therefore crucial.
As a result, solid fuel fireplaces typically cost more to run than gas fireplaces. There are a variety of designs and fuel options to match any decor.
Many customers are interested in a multi combination fire suite that can be utilized with either a gas or a solid fuel fire. This is not currently possible as the two types of fire work in different ways.
It is important to select seasoned and dry logs for safe burning. This will increase the efficiency of the fuel, as less moisture is lost in the burning process. Avoid burning wet or green logs, as they can cause creosote accumulation and chimney fires. A well-seasoned log will produce more heat than a raw log and is therefore worth the extra expense.
