What Are Fire Suites?
Fire suites are complete fireplace sets that include hearths and surrounds. They create a stunning centrepiece for your living space and can enhance the beauty of a gas or electric fire.
Aluminized suits reflect radiant heat while providing insulation against high temperatures. They are typically found in environments like welding operations or steel mills. Identifying the level of threat your workers might face aids in determining the right protective suit for the job.
Gas
Gas fire suites offer an elegant and modern approach to fireplace designs, with the benefits of flame effect and heat output. They can be incorporated in homes that have a chimney. They also work for homes with pre-cast flues. They can be fitted to the wall or built into a hearth.
These types of fires operate on the natural gas supply that is connected to your central heating system or an external propane tank. To ensure that your gas installation is safe you should consult an accredited engineer.
The Waney Ashford Solid Oak Gas Fire Suite combines rustic charm with traditional design with the full Waney Ashford Solid Oak Fireplace and is complemented by the classic Pureglow Blenheim Gas Fire to give character and warmth to your home. The suite can be fitted on your property with or without a chimney and is suitable for homes with pre-cast flues that are constructed from concrete or clay blocks that are incorporated into your walls.
A hole in the wall for a gas fireplace may be the best option for those with a flat wall. These type of gas fires can be mounted to the wall and work with either natural or LPG. They usually come with radiant bars that generate plenty of heat.
A balanced flue gas fireplace can be installed in homes that have chimneys. These fires run on natural gas, which is supplied through pipelines that connect to seven main reception points along the coast - often 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.
The final type of gas fire is a vented or non-vented. Vented gas fires can be incorporated in your existing chimney or a factory-built steel chimney, with exhaust being directed to the outside via an elongated liner or a one pipe within the chimney breast. Non-vented gas fires on the other hand make use of a hot box to create an effect of flame and heat, with the heat being transferred to the air in your home and out through the chimney breast.
Electric
Electric fire suites are an excellent alternative for those looking to create the appearance of a fireplace, but do not want to deal with chimneys, flues or other major structural work. They can be easily installed by putting them in a flush position against a wall and plugging into a power socket. They are available in a variety of styles, from contemporary to traditional and are incredibly versatile.
Electric fire suites, unlike gas fires emit no heat. Instead, they use a technology called "flame effects" to create the appearance of real flames and a smoke. They are made using LED lights and reflective mirrors to create an authentic glow. Some of the advanced models use colored lighting and water vapor to create holographic flickering flames. This is a very popular option and looks very real.
Electric fire suites are available in many different styles, from wall-mounted to inset. Elgin & Hall Chollerton is an inset electric suite that comes in a chic Black Nickel finish or Chrome contemporary finish. This is perfect for any contemporary or modern living room. Alternatively, the beautiful Elgin & Hall Vitalia is a luxurious Marble electric suite with exquisite details and a step design that can be incorporated into traditional and modern living spaces.
Some of the most advanced electric fire suites also have thermostatic usage and timer options. This means that they can be set to automatically switch off after a certain time or after the room reaches a set temperature. This can help save energy and money by only heating the room when needed.
When selecting an electric fire suite, you should also consider the type of fireplace you would like. Some of our customers opt to combine their fire set with a hearth and surround, while others opt for a simple mantelpiece or an open fronted electric fire. The type of electric fireplace you select will have a significant effect on the overall appearance and feel of your home.

It is a sleek, clean-looking product that is easy to set up.
Solid Fuel
Solid fuel fire sets bring the traditional, warm style to your home. The flickering flames of real wood logs or coal create a warm glow that can be calming. It's no wonder that this kind of fireplace is still very popular particularly in winter when a fire is able to reduce your energy costs.
Solid fuel furnaces are great for larger spaces, since they can provide central heating and hot water. This system uses wood burners, pellet heater or coal fired stove to heat the air. The heated air is then circulated by a heating system throughout the house, and then blown through vents into room ducting.
A solid fuel fire needs an ash pan, grate and chimney for exhausting gases and smoke. The chimney must be lined using a product that meets the relevant regulations and must be lined with a suitable product. The fire suite should be installed by a licensed technician and regularly inspected for safety and performance. Creosote buildup in the chimney is a major cause of fire in appliances that use solid fuel So regular maintenance and care is vital.
This is why solid fuel fireplaces tend to cost more to operate than gas fireplaces. There are many designs and fuel options to match any decor.
Many customers would like to have a multi-combination fire suite that could be used with gas or solid fuel fire. However, this isn't currently possible as both types of fire operate in a different way.
To ensure safe burning, it is important to choose dried and seasoned logs. This will improve the efficiency of the fuel, as less moisture will be lost during the burning process. Avoid burning wet or green logs, as they may cause creosote accumulation and chimney fires. A matured log will generate more heat than a raw log, and is therefore worth the extra investment.
