What Are Fire Suites?
Fire suites are complete fireplaces that include hearths and surrounds. They are a stunning focal point for your living space and improve the look of a gas or electric fire.
Aluminized suits are commonly used in areas like welding operations and steel mills. They reflect radiant heat while shielding from temperatures that are extremely high. The selection of the appropriate protective suit is dependent on determining the level of danger your workers could be exposed to.
Gas
Gas fire suites are a contemporary and sleek version of fireplace design. They offer the advantages of a flame effect as well as a heat output. They can be fitted in homes that have chimneys. They are also suitable for homes with pre-cast flues and can be attached to the wall or built into a hearth.
These types of fires are powered by a natural gas supply that is connected to your central heating system or an external propane tank. To ensure that your gas installation is secure you should consult a certified engineer.
The Waney Ashford Solid Oak Gas Fire Suite is a combination of rustic appeal with traditional design and features the full Waney Ashford Solid Oak Fireplace and is complemented by the classic Pureglow Blenheim Gas Fire to add character and warmth to your home. This set is ideal for homes that have pre-cast flues that are made of bricks or concrete walls.
For those with an unflattering wall or a gap in the wall with a gas fireplace might be the best option. These kinds of gas fires can be affixed to the wall and work with either natural or LPG. They usually include radiant bars and are great for producing a lot of heat, often with large control handles that are easy to operate for those with mobility issues.
A balanced flue gas fireplace can be installed in homes with or without chimneys. These fires are powered by natural gas, which is supplied through a network of pipelines to seven main coastal reception points - also known as beach terminals. The gas is then transported to your home, where it can be used for heating. The by-products of the fire are vented to the outside.
A third type of gas fire is vented or non-vented. Vented gas fires can be incorporated into your existing chimney system or a factory-built metal chimney, and the exhaust is transferred to the outside by a flexible liner or single pipe within the chimney breast. Non-vented gas fires, however make use of a hot box to generate the effect of a flame and heat that is transferred to the air inside your room and out through a vent in your chimney breast.
Electricity
Electric fire suites can be an excellent option for those who are seeking to replicate the look of a fireplace, but don't want to tackle chimneys, flues, or any major structural work. Installing them is easy because they are on the wall in a flush position and plug into an electrical socket. They come in a variety of styles, 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 a smoke. These are created using LED lights and reflective mirrors that create an authentic glow. Some of the more advanced models use water vapor and color-lit lighting to create holographic flickering flames. This is a popular option and can appear very real.
There are many different types of electric fire suites, ranging from inset to wall mounted. Elgin & Hall Chollerton is an inset electric suite that comes in a chic Black Nickel finish or Chrome contemporary finish. It's perfect for a contemporary or modern living room. Alternatively, the beautiful Elgin & Hall Vitalia is a luxurious Marble electric suite that has fine details and a stepped design that fits into both modern or traditional living rooms.
Certain of the more sophisticated electric fire suites also offer thermostatic usage and timer options. This means that they can be programmed to automatically switch off after a certain time or after the room reaches a set temperature. This helps save energy and money since the room is only heated when required.
When choosing an electric fire suite, you should also consider the type of fireplace you would like. A few of our customers prefer to combine their fire set with the hearth and surround, while others prefer a simple mantelpiece or an open fronted electric fire. The type of electric fire you select will also impact on the overall look and feel of your living space.
We have a selection of different electric suites. One is the beautiful Flamerite Luma, which combines an elegant Oak effect surround with a stunning Pureglow Electric fire and either a Black Granite or Marfil Marble hearth and back panel. Another option that is great is the Flamerite Jaeger 1020, a wall-mounted electric suite that can be fixed flat against any wall in your home. This is a sleek, clean-looking product that is easy to set up.
Solid Fuel
A solid fuel fire set-up brings the warm traditional look back to the heart of your home. The flickering flames that come from genuine wood logs or coal create a warm glow that is soothing. It's no wonder this type of fireplace is still very popular particularly in winter when a real fire can reduce your energy costs.
While open fireplaces and decorative stoves are popular however, the solid fuel furnace is ideal for larger spaces since they provide full central heating and hot water. This system uses a wood burner, pellet heater or coal fired stove to heat air. This air is then circulated throughout the home through a heating system, and then blown through the ducting of the room via vents.
A solid fuel fire requires an ash pan, grate and chimney to expel smoke and gases. The chimney must be lined with a material that is compliant with the applicable regulations and be lined with a suitable product. The fire suite must also be installed by a qualified technician, and regularly checked for safety and performance. Creosote accumulation in chimneys can be a major fire cause in appliances that use solid fuel. Proper maintenance and care are therefore vital.
As a result, fireplaces made of solid fuel tend to cost more to operate than gas fires. However, a wide range of designs and fuel options are available to fit any style of interior.
Many customers are looking for a multi-combined fire suite that can be used with either a gas or an open fuel fire. However, this is not currently feasible since the two types of fires operate in different ways.
To ensure safe burning it is essential to choose seasoned and dried logs. This will improve the effectiveness of the fuel because less moisture is lost in the burning process. It's also important to avoid burning damp or green logs as these could cause a build-up of creosote, which can cause chimney fires. A well-seasoned log will produce far more heat than a raw log, and so is worth the extra investment.
