Evolution Fires' suites are ideal for bedrooms, living rooms extensions, bathrooms and bedrooms. Hotels with fireplaces provide an inherent feeling of luxuriousness that creates warm memories and encourages customers to returning. Discover how fireplacesandstoves can add this feeling to your hotel. The hearth The hearth is the flat platform which is situated at the base of a fireplace. It is designed to shield the wall and floor from embers or heat damage. It is typically constructed of non-combustible material like brick or stone and extends 16 to 18 inches prior to the firebox. Most gas and wood fireplaces require a hearth and electric fireplace suites typically do not have one. 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 elements work together to create a focal point that will enhance aesthetics and make your home more inviting. Suites are a great option for anyone looking to revamp their interior and give it a fresh new look. Suites are available in a wide range of finishes, styles and colours that can be matched to any decor. They also offer a wide range of choices when it comes to type of fire and flame effect, as well as heating outputs. Gas-fueled fires that are conventional are the ideal choice for homes that have chimneys, while balanced flue fires are a viable alternative that can be used in homes without chimneys. Electric fireplace suites are an excellent option for those who want to add a focal point to their living spaces without the hassle of putting in an old-fashioned wood burner or gas fire. These suites generate their own heat using the process of convection. They draw in cool air, warms it and then ejects it out into the room. In contrast to wood-burning fireplaces suites do not emit carbon monoxide, which could be harmful if inhaled. The back panel The name suggests that the fireplace back panel is located at the rear of the fireplace's opening. It assists in creating an elegant 'n' shape with the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire. It can be constructed of a variety of heat-resistant materials such as granite and stone. The back panel is usually part of a fireplace suite that includes a surround the mantelpiece, and an inset fire appliance. This can save you time and effort when installing, because the components are designed to work seamlessly. There are also standalone back panels available, which are ideal in situations where you are replacing an electric or gas fireplace and want to upgrade the appearance of the current chimney breast without removing it. Back panels are available in a variety of designs and materials, so you'll be able to choose the right one for your home. Back panels aren't just stylish and stylish, but they're constructed of durable materials. This is important as they shield your floors and walls from the effects of the fireplace suite. This is particularly true if you opt for a gas or solid fuel fireplace suite since they produce an enormous amount of heat that can be transferred to the surrounding areas via the wall and ceiling. A back panel can really help to tie together the entire fireplace particularly if you're opting for a more modern design.

When you are choosing a fireplace set-up, make sure to consider the amount of heat you'll require to heat your home. This will depend on a few factors including the fireplace's wattage and the current prices for electricity and the number of hours you're planning to use it each day. Divide the wattage of your fireplace by the energy rate per kilowatt-hour that you pay your electricity provider. The surround of your fireplace and mantelpiece will also play a big role in how it looks in your home. Some are designed with intricate designs that add an extra dimension of visual interest to the room, while others offer more subtle and blends in with all styles of interiors. You can find a set that has an LED inside glow log that gives the illusion of a real fireplace, without the need for fuel. When it comes to fireplaces there are four types of wood (nice to look at and feel but less efficient; releases air pollutants such as particulate matter, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide); gas (more efficient in energy use, but still produces carbon monoxide; burns synthetic or natural logs); and electric (uses a coil and fan system and doesn't release any harmful gasses, and is extremely economical and comfortable). If you want to get the most out of your fireplace suite, choose one with high BTUs. This will warm your room faster and create a more authentic fire effect.
