20 Things You Need To Know About Fire Suites
What Are Fire Suites?
Fire suites are complete fireplaces that include hearths as well as surrounds. They create a stunning centrepiece for your living area and enhance the beauty of a electric or gas fireplace.
Aluminized suits reflect radiant heat while protecting against high temperatures. They are typically found in environments like steel mills or welding operations. The right suit for protection is a matter of determining the risk your workers may face.
Gas
Gas fire suites are a modern and sleek version of fireplace designs. They offer the advantages of a flame effect, as well as a heat output. They can be fitted in homes with or without chimneys. They can also be used in homes with pre-cast flues and can be affixed to the wall or incorporated into the hearth.
These types of fires operate on the natural gas supply that is connected to your central heating system or to an external propane tank. It is crucial to collaborate with a certified gas engineer to ensure your gas installation is safe and carried out properly.

Another type of gas fire is a balanced flue, that can be fitted to homes with or without chimneys.

The final type of gas fire is a vented or non-vented. Vented gas fires can be installed in your existing chimney or a factory-built chimney, with exhaust being directed to the outside via a flexible liner or single pipe within the chimney breast. Non-vented gas fires, on the other hand make use of a hot box to produce an effect of flame and heat and the heat is transferred to the air in your room and out through a vent in your chimney breast.
Electric
Electric fire suites are a great option for those looking to create the appearance of a fireplace, but don't want to deal with chimneys, flues, or major structural work. Installing them is easy because they are 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 use the technology called "flame effects" to give the appearance of real flames and smoke. This is achieved by using LED lights and mirrors to produce a lifelike glow. Some of the advanced models use colored lighting and water vapor to create holographic flickering fires. This is a popular choice and can be quite realistic.

The fire suite must also be installed by a certified technician, and regularly checked for safety and performance.

Solid fireplaces that burn fuel are more expensive to operate. However, a variety of designs and fuel options are offered to match any interior design.
Many customers are interested in a multi-combination fire suite that can be utilized with either a gas fire or an open fuel fire. This is not possible at the moment since the two types fire work in different ways.
To burn safely for a safe and secure burn, it is crucial to choose dried and seasoned logs. This will improve the effectiveness of the fuel as less moisture will be lost in the burning process.
