What's The Fuss About Firesuites?
Firesuites - The Perfect Way to Warm Your Home
The fireplace suite is made up of four main components: an inset fire, surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel. It is available in electric, gas or solid fuel.
The suit selected must conform to industry specific safety standards like NFPA in order to ensure adequate protection against identified hazards. For instance proximity suits are designed to shield firefighters from radiant heat and molten metallic splashes.
Gas
Gas fires are the perfect choice for modern homes, because they allow you to regulate the flame effect as well as the heat output from the easy control located within the fire. Fireplace Megastore has a wide selection of gas suites made by leading manufacturers such as Elgin & Hall, Burley & Gazco and many more with a variety of styles and sizes, which match traditional and contemporary homes. Suites are available with a choice of conventional fireplaces that are powered by gas or balanced flue fires suitable for homes without a chimney.
When fitted correctly to the correct chimney opening a gas firesuite can completely transform the room. The main components of a fireplace suite are the surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel. The surround can be constructed from solid stone or manufactured stone, depending on the type of fire you choose. It is designed to complement the fire's size, colour, and shape.
