The fireplace suite is made up of four main components: an inset fire, surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel. It is available in gas, electric or solid fuel.
The suit you choose to wear must conform to industry specific safety standards like NFPA in order to ensure adequate protection against identified hazards. For example proximity suits are made to shield firefighters from radiant heat and molten metallic splashes.
Gas
Gas fires and suites are the perfect solution for modern homes as they allow the flame effect and heat output to be controlled from a convenient control located within the fire. Fireplace Megastore has a wide selection of gas suites made by top manufacturers like Elgin & Hall, Burley & Gazco and others with a variety of styles, finishes and sizes to suit both contemporary and traditional homes. Suites can be purchased between traditional gas-fueled chimney flue fireplaces and balanced flue fireplaces for homes with no chimneys.
If properly fitted to the correct chimney opening a gas firesuite can transform the room. The main components of a fireplace suite are the surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel. Depending on the style of fire selected, the surround can either be constructed from solid or manufactured stone and is designed to match the fire in terms of size as well as colour and shape.
