What Are Fire Suites?
Fire suites are complete fireplace ensembles that include hearths and surrounds. They can be an impressive focal point for your living room and enhance the beauty of a gas or electric fireplace.
Aluminized suits reflect radiant heat while insulating against high ambient temperatures. They are commonly found in environments like welding operations or steel mills. Knowing the threat your workers could be exposed to aids in selecting the best protective suit for the job.
Gas
Gas fire suites are modern and sleek take on fireplace designs. They offer the benefits of a fire effect as well as a heat output. They can be installed in properties with or without chimneys. They are also suitable for homes with precast flues. They can be attached to the wall or incorporated into the hearth.
These kinds of fires are powered by a natural-gas supply that is connected to your central heating system or an external propane tank. It is essential to consult a licensed gas engineer to ensure your gas installation is safe and completed properly.
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 bring warmth and character to your home. This set is ideal for properties that have pre-cast flues that are made of bricks or concrete in the walls.
If you have flat walls, a hole in the wall gas fire could be the ideal solution. These kinds of gas fires can be fitted to your wall and work with either natural or LPG. They typically include radiant bars and are good for producing a lot of heat, usually with large control handles that are easy to use for those with mobility issues.
Another type of gas fire is a balanced flue fire which can be fitted to homes with or without chimneys. They are powered by natural gas, which is transported through an extensive network of seven reception points on the coast which are also referred to as "beach terminals". The gas is then delivered to your home where it can be used for heating. Any by-products will be vented outside.
A third type of gas fire is vented or non-vented. Vented gas fires can be installed within your existing chimney or a factory-built chimney, and the exhaust is sent to the outside through an elongated liner or a single pipe within the chimney breast. Non-vented fires, however, use a hotbox to create a flame effect. The heat is then transferred to your room's air and out of your chimney breast.
Electric
Electric fire suites can be a great option for those looking to create the appearance of a fireplace but don't want to tackle chimneys, flues, or any major structural work. They can be put in place easily by putting them in a flush position against a wall and plugging into a power socket. They come in a wide selection of styles ranging from contemporary to traditional and are extremely versatile.
Electric fire suites, unlike gas-fires, emit no heat. Instead, they use an innovation called "flame effects" to create the appearance of real flames and smoke. These are created by using LED lights and reflective mirrors that create an authentic glow. Some of the more advanced models make use of water vapor and colored lighting to produce glowing flames that appear holographic. This is a very popular option and looks very real.
There are many different types of electric fire suites, from inset to wall mounted. The Elgin & Hall Chollerton electric suite is an inset style that features a stunning glass front and is available in a chic Black Nickel or Chrome contemporary finish. This is a great choice for a modern or contemporary living room. The stunning Elgin & Hall Vitalia is an elegant marble electric suite with fine detail and an angled designed stepped design that is suitable for both modern or traditional living spaces.
Certain of the more sophisticated electric fire suites also have thermostatic options and timers. This means that they can be programmed to shut off the fire automatically after a set time or when the room reaches a set temperature. This helps save energy and money as the room is only heated when it is required.
You should also consider your preferred fireplace when you are choosing an electric fire suite. Some of our customers opt to pair their fire suite with a hearth and surround, while others prefer a simple mantelpiece or an open fronted electric fire. The kind of electric fireplace you choose will have a significant effect on the overall appearance and feel of your home.

Solid Fuel
Solid fuel fire sets bring that traditional, cosy style to your home. The flickering flames from real coal, wood or pebbles emit warm light and create a relaxing atmosphere. This kind of fireplace is popular, especially during the winter months, when a genuine flame can reduce the cost of energy.
Solid fuel furnaces are perfect for larger rooms because they provide central heating and hot water running. The system makes use of a coal, pellet or wood-fired stove to warm the air. The heated air is then circulated throughout the house by a heating system and then blown through the ducting of the room through vents.
A solid fuel fire requires a grate and ash pan below the fire, as well as a chimney to exhaust the smoke and gases. The chimney should be lined with a suitable material and must be in compliance with the relevant regulations. The fire suite must be installed by a professional who is qualified and regularly inspected to ensure safety and effectiveness. The accumulation of creosote in the chimney can be an important fire hazard in appliances with solid fuel. Maintenance and proper care are therefore essential.
Solid fuel fireplaces are more expensive to operate. There are a myriad of styles and fuel choices to fit any style of interior.
Many customers would prefer a multi-combination fire suite that could be combined with a solid fuel or gas fire. However, this isn't currently feasible since both types of fire operate in a different way.
It is essential to choose dry and seasoned logs to ensure safe burning. This will make the fuel burn more efficiently as less moisture is emitted when burning off. Avoid burning green or wet logs as they could cause creosote accumulation and chimney fires. A well-seasoned log also generates more heat than a fresh log, and is worth the extra cost.
