What Are Fire Suites?
Fire suites consist of hearths, surrounds, as well as other components of a fireplace. They can be an impressive focal point for your living room and enhance the appeal of the electric or gas fireplace.
Aluminized suits are commonly used in environments such as steel mills and welding operations. They reflect radiant heat, while also insulating from high ambient temperatures. The selection of the appropriate protective suit is dependent on determining the level of danger your workers may face.
Gas
Gas fire suites offer a sleek and contemporary take on fireplace designs, with the benefits of flame effect combined with heat output. They can be fitted in homes that have a chimney. They are also suitable for homes with pre-cast flues. They can be affixed to the wall or integrated into the hearth.
These types of fires are powered by a natural gas supply which is connected to your central heating system, or an external propane tank. To ensure that your gas installation is safe you should consult a certified engineer.
The Waney Ashford Solid Oak Gas Fire Suite combines rustic charm with traditional style and features the complete Waney Ashford Solid Oak Fireplace and is complemented by the classic Pureglow Blenheim Gas Fire to give character and warmth to your home. This model is suitable for homes with pre-cast flues constructed of bricks or concrete in the walls.
For ready assembled electric fire suites with an unflattering wall, a hole in the wall gas fire could be the ideal solution. These types of gas fires can be affixed to the wall and work with either natural or LPG. They usually come with radiant bars that can generate lots of heat.
Another type of gas fire is a balanced flue fire which can be fitted to homes that have chimneys. These fires run on natural gas, which is sourced through a network of pipelines to seven major coastal reception points - often referred to as beach terminals. The gas is then taken to your home where it can be used for heating. Any by-products are vented outside.
A third type of gas fire is vented or non-vented. Vented gas fires can be fitted into your existing chimney system or a factory-built steel chimney, and the exhaust is directed to the outside via a flexible liner or one pipe within the chimney breast. Non-vented gas fires, however utilize a hotbox to produce the effect of a flame and heat and the heat is transferred to the air inside your home and out through the chimney breast.
Electricity
Electric fire suites can be a great alternative for those looking to create the appearance of a fireplace, but don't want to tackle chimneys, flues or any major structural work. Installing them is easy and they can be placed right against the wall and plug into an electrical outlet. They are available in a range of styles, from contemporary to traditional, and are extremely versatile.
Electric fire suites, unlike gas fires emit no heat. Instead, they employ an innovation known as "flame effects" to create the appearance of real flames and a smoke. These are achieved with LED lights and mirrors to produce an authentic glow. Some of the most advanced models make use of water vapor as well as colored lighting to create holographic flickering flames. This is a very popular option and looks quite realistic.
Electric fire suites are available in many different styles including wall-mounted and inset. Elgin & Hall Chollerton is an inset electric suite that is available in a stylish Black Nickel finish or Chrome contemporary finish. This is a great choice for a modern or contemporary living space. Elgin & Hall Vitalia, a luxury Marble electric suite, is also available. It features fine detailing and a stepped style with an angled angle that will work in a modern or traditional living room.
Certain of the more sophisticated electric fire suites can also provide thermostatic usage and timer options. They can be programmed to shut off automatically after certain time or after the room is at the desired temperature. This helps to save money and energy by only heating the room only when it is needed.

Solid Fuel
A solid fuel fireplace suite brings that cosy traditional look back to the heart of your home. The flickering flames from coal or real wood logs create a warm glow which is soothing. This kind of fireplace is very popular, especially during the winter months when a real flame can lower your energy bill.
While open fireplaces and decorative stoves are popular however, a solid fuel furnace is ideal for larger spaces since they provide full central heating and hot water. This system uses a coal, pellet or wood-fired stove to warm the air. The heated air is then circulated throughout the home by a heating system and blown into room ducting through vents.
A solid fuel fire needs a grate, ash pan and chimney to exhaust gases and smoke. A chimney should be lined using a product that meets the regulations applicable to it and be lined with an appropriate product. The fire suit should be installed by a professional who is licensed and regularly checked to ensure safety and effectiveness. Creosote accumulation in chimneys can be an important fire hazard in solid fuel appliances. Maintenance and proper care are therefore vital.
Solid fuel fireplaces are more expensive to operate. However, a wide range of designs and fuel options is available to fit any style of interior.
Many customers are interested in a multi-combined fire suite that can be utilized with either a gas or a solid fuel fire. It is not feasible at present because the two types of fire work in different ways.
To burn safely, it is important to choose seasoned and dried logs. This will improve the efficiency of the fuel, as less moisture is lost in the burning process. It is also essential to avoid burning damp or green logs since they could cause a build-up of creosote, which can cause chimney fires. A seasoned log will also produce more heat than a raw log, and so is worth the extra expense.
