A Journey Back In Time A Trip Back In Time: What People Talked About Fire Suites 20 Years Ago
What Are Fire Suites?
Fire suites are complete fireplace sets that include hearths and surrounds. They can be a stunning focal point in your living space and add to the appeal of a gas or electric fireplace.
Aluminized suits are commonly used in a variety of settings, including welding operations and steel mills. They reflect radiant heat while insulating from high ambient temperatures. Identifying the level of threat your workers might face aids in determining the right protective suit for the job.
Gas
Gas fire suites are a contemporary and sleek version of fireplace design. They provide the benefits of a fire effect as well as a heat output. They can be fitted in homes with or without a chimney. They can also be used in homes with precast flues. They can be attached to the wall or incorporated into the hearth.
These kinds of fires operate on a natural gas supply which is connected to your central heating system or an external propane tank. To ensure that your gas installation is safe you should consult a certified engineer.
The Waney Ashford Solid Oak Gas Fire Suite is a combination of rustic charm and traditional design. It includes the full Waney Ashford Solid Oak Fireplace and the classic Pureglow Blenheim Gas Fire. This suite will add warmth and personality to your home. The suite can be fitted on your property with or without a chimney. It is ideal for homes with pre-cast flues, built using clay or concrete blocks within your walls.
A hole in the wall for a gas fireplace may be the best solution for those who have an uneven wall. These type of gas fires can be affixed to the wall and operate with either natural or LPG. They usually have radiant bars that can produce a lot heat.
Another type of gas fire is a balanced flue, which can be fitted to homes with or without chimneys. These fires are powered by natural gas, which is supplied through a network of pipelines to seven main coastal reception points - often referred to as beach terminals. The gas is then delivered to your home where it can be used for heating. The by-products of the fire are vented to the outside.
The final type of gas fireplace is vented or not vented. Vented gas fires can be incorporated into your existing chimney system or a factory-built metal chimney, and the exhaust is transferred to the outside by a flexible liner or one pipe inside the chimney breast. Non-vented fires, however, utilize a hotbox to produce an effect of flame. The heat is transferred through your room's air and out of your chimney breast.
Electric
Electric fire suites are perfect for those who want the appearance of a fireplace but don't want to deal with the hassle of chimneys, flues or significant structural work. Installing them is easy, as they sit flush against the wall and plug into an electrical outlet. They are available in a broad selection of styles ranging from contemporary to traditional and are extremely adaptable.
Unlike gas fires, electric fire suites don't release heat but instead use a technology called 'flame effect' to recreate 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 advanced models make use of water vapor and color-changing lighting to create holographic flickering fires. This is a popular choice and can be quite realistic.
Electric fire suites come in a variety of styles, from wall-mounted to inset. The Elgin & Hall Chollerton electric suite is an inset style with an impressive glass front and comes in a stylish Black Nickel or Chrome contemporary finish. It is ideal for any modern or contemporary living room. Elgin & Hall Vitalia, a luxury Marble electric suite, is available. It is a beautiful marble suite with fine details and a stepped style with an angle that can work in a modern or traditional living room.
Some of the more sophisticated electric fireplace suites can be controlled by thermostats and timer options. This means that they can be set to automatically switch off at a specific time or after the room is at a certain temperature. This can help save energy and money by heating only the room only when it is required.
It is also important to consider your preferred fireplace when choosing an electric fire suite.

Solid Fuel
Solid fuel fire suites add the traditional, cozy look to your home. The flickering flames of genuine wood logs, coal or pebbles give off a warm glow and create a tranquil atmosphere. This kind of fireplace is very popular particularly during winter months, when a genuine flame can reduce your energy bill.
While open fires and decorative stoves are popular however, a solid fuel furnace is ideal for larger spaces as they provide full domestic central heating and hot water. This system uses the use of pellets, coal or wood fired stove to heat the air. This air is then circulated through a heating system around the house and is blown through vents into the room ducting.
A solid fuel fire needs an ash pan, grate and chimney to exhaust gases and smoke. A chimney should be lined with a material that complies with the relevant regulations and must be lined with an appropriate product. The fire suit must be installed by a certified technician and regularly inspected for safety and performance. Creosote buildup in the chimney is a major cause of fire in solid fuel appliances therefore regular maintenance and care is crucial.
As a result, fireplaces made of solid fuel tend to cost more to operate than gas fires. However, a variety of styles and fuel options are available to fit any interior design.
Many customers are looking for a multi-combination fire suite that can be utilized with either a gas fire or a solid fuel fire. However, this is not currently feasible since the two types of fires operate in very different ways.
To burn safely, it is important to choose dried and seasoned logs. This will increase the efficiency of the fuel, as less moisture will be lost during the burning process. It's also important to avoid burning wet or green logs, as they could cause a build-up of creosote and lead to chimney fires. A seasoned log also produces more heat than a fresh log and is therefore worth the extra expense.
