Evolution Fires' suites are ideal for bedrooms, living rooms extensions, bathrooms and bedrooms. Hotels with fireplaces give an atmosphere of luxury and warmth that encourages customers to return. Find out how to bring this luxury to your hotel. The hearth The hearth is a flat platform that is located at the bottom of a fireplace, 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 before the firebox. The majority of gas and wood fireplaces require a hearth, while electric fireplace suites often 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. They work in conjunction to create a centerpiece that enhances the appearance of any space and make your home feel more inviting. This is why suites are ideal for anyone who wants to transform their home and give it a fresh new look. Suites are available in a wide variety of finishes, styles and colors to match any style. There are also a variety of options for the type of flame effect, fire and heating output. Conventional fires with gas fuel work best in homes with chimneys. However, balanced flue fireplaces can be used without chimneys. Electric fireplace suites can be an excellent option for those looking to add a focal point to their living space without having to put in a traditional gas or wood fire. These suites generate their own heat by using a process known as convection. They draw in cool air, then warms it and then vents it into the room. They do not emit carbon monoxide that is dangerous to breathe in. The back panel The name suggests that the back of your fireplace is at the back of the fireplace's opening. It assists in creating an elegant 'n' shape in the mantelpiece, surround and the inset fire. This can be made from various materials that are resistant to heat, such as stone, granite and slate. The back panel is typically included in a fireplace suite that includes a surround a mantelpiece, as well as an inset fire appliance. This is a great way to save time and hassle when installing the fireplace as the components are made to work seamlessly both structurally and visually. There are also stand-alone back panels that are ideal for replacing an electric or gas fireplace, or for enhancing the appearance of a chimney breast that is already in place. Back panels are available in a variety of styles and materials, so you can choose the right one for your home. In addition to being stylish, back panels are usually made of a material that is heat-resistant, which is important to help protect your floors and walls from the effects of your fireplace suite. This is especially important when you opt for a solid fuel or gas fireplace suite. They will produce lots of heat that is transferred through the ceiling and wall to the area around it.

The key is to find an option that fits your space and meets your needs. You can also choose an extra large fireplace or one with a bigger screen that frames the fire to create a stunning focal in your room. Think about how much the heating your home will require when you select the right fireplace set. It will be contingent on a few things, such as the fireplace's wattage, your current electricity prices and the number of hours you're planning to use it daily. Divide the wattage of the fireplace by the energy rate per kilowatt-hour that you pay your electricity provider. The mantelpiece and surround of your fireplace will also have a major effect on the look of your fireplace. Some are designed with intricate designs that add an additional visual interest to the room, while others have a more subtle look that blends into most styles of interiors. You can find a suite that has an LED inside glow log to create the illusion of a real fireplace, without the need for fuel. When it comes to fireplaces there are four kinds that are available: wood (nice to feel and view but less efficient; releases air pollutants such as particulate matter carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide) and gas (more efficient in terms of energy, but still releases carbon monoxide; burns synthetic or natural logs); and electric (uses an electric coil and fan process, doesn't release any dangerous gases, is very cost-effective and comfortable). Choose a fireplace suite with the highest BTU rating to get the best results. This will heat your room quicker and create an authentic flame effect.
