Fireplace Suites - The Complete Package

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' range of suites are ideal for living rooms, extensions and bedrooms but also for bathrooms to create that real flame ambiance.

Hotels with fireplaces provide the impression of warmth and luxury that encourages customers to return. Discover how you can add this luxury to your hotel.

The hearth

The hearth is a flat platform that is located at the bottom of a fireplace. It is designed to protect the wall and floor from heat damage or embers. It is typically constructed of non-combustible material like stone or brick and extends 16 to 18 inches in front of the firebox. Most gas and wood fireplaces require a hearth, and electric fireplace suites typically do not 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 elements combine to create an attractive focal point that can enhance aesthetics and make your home more welcoming. Suites are perfect for those who want to give their home a new look and revamp it.

Suites are available in various styles, colours and finishes that will fit into any style. There are also a variety of options for the type of fire, flame effect and heating output. Conventional fires with gas fuel work best in homes with chimneys, whereas balanced flue fireplaces can be used without chimneys.

Electric fireplace suites can be the ideal option for those looking to add a focal piece to their living space without having to put in a traditional gas or wood fire. The suites generate their own heat by using the process of convection. It draws cold air, warms it, and then releases it out into the room. These suites do not emit carbon monoxide which is dangerous to inhale.

The back panel


A fireplace back panel is situated behind the fireplace opening. It helps to create an 'n-shaped' design with the mantelpiece, surround, and the inset fire. This can be made of a variety of materials that are heat-resistant like granite and stone.

The majority of fireplace sets come with a back panel as part of an all-in-one package which includes a mantelpiece, a surround and an inset fire appliance. This will help you save time and effort during installation as the components are designed to work seamlessly.

There are also stand-alone back panels that are perfect for replacing a gas fireplace or electric fireplace, or for enhancing the appearance of a chimney's existing. These back panels come in a range of different designs and materials, so you'll be able to choose the right one for your home.

Back panels aren't just attractive and stylish, but they're made of materials that are resistant to heat. This is important as they shield your walls and floors from the effects of a fireplace suite. electric fireplaces is especially important when you select the gas or solid fuel fireplace suite since they produce an immense amount of heat that could be transferred to the surrounding areas via the wall and ceiling.

The surround/mantelpiece

The fire

The heart of any fireplace is the fire however, you don't have to choose the traditional wood burning fireplace. There are plenty of other options available, including electric and gas.

When selecting a fireplace, make sure to think about the amount of heat you'll require to heat your home. It will be determined by a few factors, including the power of the fireplace, your current electricity rates and the length of time you're planning on using it every day. Divide the wattage of your fireplace by the energy cost per kilowatt hour charged by your electricity provider.

The mantelpiece and surround of your fireplace will also have a major effect on the look of your fireplace. Some come with intricate designs that add an additional dimension of visual interest to the room while others have a more subtle look that blends into most styles of interiors. There is even a suite that has an LED glow log effect that gives the illusion of a real flame without making use of any fuel.

When it comes to fire places there are four types: wood (nice to view and feel but less efficient; emits air pollutants like particulate matter carbon monoxide, particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide) and gas (more energy-efficient but still generates carbon monoxide, burns synthetic or natural logs) and electric (uses an electric coil and fan that doesn't release dangerous gasses, and is extremely economical and cozy). If you want to make the most of your fireplace suite, choose one with high BTUs. This will warm the room faster and provide a more authentic flame effect.
