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 they also work well in bathrooms for the authentic flame ambience.
Hotels with fireplaces provide an inherent luxuriousness that creates warm memories and influences customer return. Find out how you can add this feeling to your hotel.
The hearth
The hearth is the flat platform that sits at the base of a fireplace. It's designed to shield the floor and walls from embers or heat damage. It is typically constructed of non-combustible materials like brick or stone and extends 16 to 18 inches in front of the firebox. Most gas and wood fireplaces require a hearth, while electric fireplace suites often do not require a hearth.
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. The four components work together to create a focal point that will enhance the aesthetics of any space and make your home appear more inviting. Suites are ideal for anyone who wants to transform their home and give it a new look.
Suites are available in a variety of designs, colors and finishes to suit any decor. They also offer a wide range of options for kind of fire and effect as well as heating outputs. Gas-fuelled conventional fires work best in homes with chimneys, while balanced flue fireplaces can be used without chimneys.
Electric fireplaces are a great choice for those looking to add a focal piece to their living space without the need to install a traditional gas or wood fire. These suites generate their own heat using the process of convection. This draws cold air, warms it and then ejects it out into the room. Contrary to fireplaces that burn wood, these suites do not release carbon monoxide, which can be dangerous if breathed in.
The back panel
As the name suggests, the back of your fireplace is at the rear of the fireplace's opening. It helps to create a neat 'n' shape with the mantelpiece, surround and the fire inset. This can be made from a number of heat-resistant materials including slate, granite and stone.
The back panel is usually included in a fireplace set that includes a surround, a mantelpiece, and an inset fire appliance. This can be a great way to save time and effort in the process of installation since the components are designed to be a seamless fit, both structurally and aesthetically.
There are also standalone back panels that are available that are perfect for situations when you are replacing the appearance of a fireplace with electric or gas and want to upgrade the appearance of your existing chimney breast without removing it. The back panels are available in a range of different designs and materials, so you'll be able to find the ideal one for your home.
As well as being fashionable as well as a stylish option, back panels are generally constructed from a heat-resistant material, which is important to help protect your walls and floor from the effects of your fireplace suite. This is especially important if you opt for a gas or solid fuel fireplace suite because they generate an enormous amount of heat that can be transferred to surrounding areas via the wall or ceiling.
A back panel can help to tie together your entire fireplace set-up particularly if you're looking for a modern look. This stunning flamerite Ador electric fireplace is a great example. It comes with a curved fire picture which enhances the look of the fire. When combined with a contemporary open fronted electric fire, this suite will make an impressive focal point in any living room, dining room or extension.
This Elgin and Hall Farnham Deluxe Suite comes with the renowned Chollerton gas fire inset. The glass-fronted fireplace is a true show-stopper, and when combined with the limestone surround and back panel, it can raise any home to new heights.
This beautiful wall-mounted Flamerite Edwin LED electric set is ideal for a minimalist approach. This suite can be put on any flat wall, and is controlled by the remote control included. It's easy to use and does not require chimneys or flue.
The surround/mantelpiece
In contrast to traditional fireplaces, which require a back panel as well as a fire surround, modern electric units can simply be fixed flush against the wall and provide a stunning focal point. They are ideal for homes with a limited space or without a chimney or flue.
Fires2U's electric fireplace range includes a variety of sizes and styles so you can choose the perfect one for your home.

They are available in a variety of colours and finishes to match your décor. Freestanding electric fireplace suites can also opt for mirrors to create a dramatic effect and increase the amount of light in your living space.
The fire
The fire is the centerpiece of any fireplace set however it doesn't need to be a wood-burning fireplace. There are plenty of other options out there, including gas and electric. The trick is to choose an option that fits your space and meets your needs. Freestanding electric fireplace suites can also choose an extra large fireplace or one with a larger screen that frames the fire to create a stunning focal in your living space.
Take into consideration the amount of the amount of heat your home will require when choosing the right fireplace set. It will be determined by a few factors, including the wattage of the fireplace and the current electricity rates, and how long you're planning on using it daily. To find this out, you need to divide the wattage of your fireplace by the electricity company's energy rate per Kilowatt hour.
The mantelpiece and surround of your fireplace will also have a significant impact on how it looks. Some come with intricate designs that add an additional dimension of visual interest to the room while others are more minimalist and blends in with all interior styles. There is a selection that has an LED inside glow log that gives the illusion of a real fireplace without any fuel.
When it comes to fire places there are four types: wood (nice to view and feel but less efficient; releases air pollutants like particulate matter carbon monoxide, particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide); gas (more energy-efficient but still generates carbon monoxide, burns synthetic or natural logs); and electric (uses an electric coil and fan, doesn't release any dangerous gasses, and is extremely economical and comfortable). Choose a fireplace suite with the highest BTU rating to get the best results. This will warm your room more quickly and will also create a more authentic fire effect.
