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 gas, electric or solid fuel.
The chosen suit must adhere to specific safety standards for the industry like NFPA to guarantee adequate protection from identified hazards. For example, proximity suits prioritize safeguarding firefighters from radiant heat as well as hot metal splashes.
Gas
Gas fires and suites are the ideal solution for modern homes as they allow the flame effect as well as heat output to be regulated by a simple control within the fire itself. Fireplace Megastore has a wide range of gas suites by major manufacturers like Elgin & Hall, Burley & Gazco and many more in a variety and sizes, which fit both traditional and contemporary homes. Suites come with a choice between traditional gas-fueled chimney flue fireplaces and balanced flue fireplaces for homes with no chimneys.
When properly installed to the correct chimney opening a gas firesuite can transform the room. The main components of a fireplace suite are the surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel. Based on the style of fire selected the surround can be made of stone or manufactured stone, and is designed to match the fire in terms of size as well as colour and shape.
Traditionally, homeowners living in homes with Pre-Cast flues were limited to shallow standard sized inset gas fires that sit on top of a hearth but now thanks to the innovative Earlston 950 by Elgin & Hall you can create a stylish and elegant contemporary marble fireplace suite that incorporates a wide landscape feature gas fire that lets the stunning flames shine in the center.
