Fireplace Suites - The Complete Package
A fireplace suite is the complete package; it includes a surround/mantelpiece, hearth and fire all working together to create the centrepiece of your home. Evolution Fires' range of suites are perfect for living rooms, extensions and bedrooms but also for bathrooms to create that real flame ambiance.
Hotels with fireplaces offer an innate feeling of luxuriousness that creates warm memories and inspires guests to return. Learn how you can bring this feeling to your hotel property.
The hearth
The hearth is a flat platform at the bottom of the fireplace. Its primary function is to shield the floor and walls from heat or embers. It is usually constructed from non-combustible materials like stone or brick and extends 16 to 18 inches before the firebox. Electric fireplaces are usually without a hearth.
As a general rule, fireplace suites consist of four main components; an inset fire (either gas or electric), a surround/mantelpiece, a back panel and the hearth. These parts operate in tandem to create a focal point that enhances the appearance of any space and make your home feel more inviting. As a result, suites are a great option for anyone seeking to update their interior and give it a new look.
Suites are available in a variety of designs, colors and finishes to match any style. They also provide a broad selection of options for the type of fire and effect as well as heating outputs. Gas-fueled fires that are conventional are the ideal choice for homes with chimneys, and balanced flue fires are a different option that can be used safely in homes without chimneys.
Electric fireplace suites are a great option for those who want to add an accent to their living spaces without the hassle of putting in a traditional wood burner or gas fire. The suites generate their own heat by using a process known as convection. This draws in cool air, warms it and then ejects it out into the room. They do not emit carbon monoxide, which is harmful to inhale.
The back panel
A fireplace back panel is situated in the back of the fireplace opening. It helps to create an 'N-shaped' design by combining the mantelpiece, surround, and the inset fire. It can be constructed from a number of materials that are resistant to heat, such as stone, granite and slate.

This can be an ideal way to save time and hassle in the process of installation since the components have been designed to fit together seamlessly, both structurally and aesthetically.
