What Are Fire Suites?
Fire suites consist of hearths, surrounds, as well as other components of a fireplace. They can create stunning centerpieces for your living space and enhance the beauty of a gas or electric fire.
Aluminized suits reflect radiant heat while protecting against high temperatures. They are commonly used in steel mills or welding operations. Selecting the right protective suit is a matter of determining the level of danger your workers may face.
Gas
Gas fire sets offer modern and sleek version of fireplace design, and offer the benefit of flame effects and heat output. They can be incorporated into properties with or without chimneys. They can also be used in homes with pre-cast chimneys. They can be mounted on the wall or integrated into a fireplace.
These types of fires operate on the natural gas supply that is connected to your central heating system or to an external propane tank. To ensure that your gas installation is safe you must work with a certified engineer.
The Waney Ashford Solid Oak Gas Fire Suite is a combination of rustic charm with traditional style and features the complete Waney Ashford Solid Oak Fireplace and complemented by the classic Pureglow Blenheim Gas Fire to add character and warmth to your home.

If you have an unflattering wall an opening in the wall for a gas fire might be the best option. They are wall-mounted and operate with LPG or natural gas. They typically come with radiant bars and are ideal to generate plenty of heat. They are typically with large control handles that are easy to operate for people who are disabled in mobility.
Another type of gas fire is a balanced flue fire, which can be fitted to homes with or without chimneys. These fires run on natural gas, which is delivered through pipelines that connect to seven major coastal reception points, often referred to as beach terminals. From there, the gas travels to your home, where it's used to heat your home. Any leftovers are emitted directly to the outside.
The last type of gas fireplace is vented or not vented. Vented gas fireplaces can be erected in your existing chimney system, or a metal chimney that was built by an industry-specific manufacturer. The exhaust is pushed outside via the flexible lining or single pipe inside the chimney breast. Non-vented fires, however, use a hotbox to create the appearance of a flame. The heat is transferred to the air in your room and out of your chimney's breast.
Electricity
Electric fire suites are ideal for those who desire the appearance of a fireplace, but don't want to have the hassle of chimneys, flues or any other structural work. Installing them is simple, as they sit flush against the wall and plug into an electrical socket. They are available in a broad 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. These are created by using LED lights and reflective mirrors to create an authentic glow. Some of the most advanced models use colored lighting and water vapor to create holographic flickering flames. This is a popular choice and can appear very real.
Electric fire suites come in a variety of styles including wall-mounted and inset. The Elgin & Hall Chollerton electric suite is an inset design that features an impressive glass front and is available in a chic Black Nickel or Chrome contemporary finish. It's ideal for any modern or contemporary living space. The stunning Elgin & Hall Vitalia is an elegant marble electric suite that has fine details and a step design that can be incorporated into traditional or modern living spaces.
Some of the more advanced electric fire suites also have thermostatic usage and timer options. This means that they can be programmed to shut off automatically after a set period of time or when the room reaches a set temperature. This can help save energy and money by heating only the room only when it is needed.

Solid Fuel
A solid fuel fire set-up brings that cosy traditional look back to the center of your home. The flickering flames from real coal, wood or pebbles give off a warm glow and create a relaxing ambience. It's no wonder this type of fireplace is still in use particularly in winter when a real fire can reduce your energy costs.
While open fires and decorative stoves are popular, the solid fuel furnace is ideal for larger spaces as they provide full domestic central heating and hot water. This system uses wood burners pellet heater, pellet heater, or coal fired stove to heat air. This air is then circulated throughout the home through a heating system, and blown into room ducting via vents.
A solid fuel fire needs an ash pan, grate and chimney to expel smoke and gases. A chimney must be lined with a suitable product and must be in compliance with the relevant regulations. The fire suite should be installed by a licensed technician, and regularly checked for safety and performance. The accumulation of creosote in the chimney is a major fire cause in solid fuel appliances. Proper care and maintenance are therefore vital.
Solid fuel fireplaces are more expensive to operate. There are a variety of styles and fuel choices to match any decor.
Many customers would like to have a multi-combination fire suite that could be combined with a solid fuel or gas fire. But, this isn't currently possible as the two fire types work in very different ways.
To ensure that your fire is safe it is essential to choose dried and seasoned logs. This will improve the efficiency of the fuel, because less moisture is lost in the burning process. It's also important to avoid burning damp or green logs as these can cause a build up of creosote and lead to chimney fires. A well-seasoned log also generates more heat than a new log, and is worth the extra cost.
