Why Firesuites May Be More Dangerous Than You Thought

Firesuites - The Perfect Way to Warm Your Home

The fireplace suite is made up of four main components: an inset fire, surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel. It is available in electric, gas or solid fuel.

The suit selected must conform to specific safety standards for the industry like NFPA in order to ensure adequate protection against hazards that have been identified. For instance proximity suits focus on protecting firefighters against radiant heat and melting metal splashes.

Gas

Gas fires and suites provide the ideal option for modern homes because they permit the flame effect and heat output to be controlled via a simple control inside the fire. Fireplace Megastore offers a selection of gas suites from leading manufacturers like Elgin & Hall and Burley & Gazco in a variety of sizes, styles and finishes to suit both modern and traditional homes. Suites are available between traditional chimney flue fireplaces powered by gas and balanced flue fireplaces that are suitable for homes without chimneys.

Gas fire suites can completely transform the look of a room if they are installed correctly in the correct chimney opening. The main components of a fireplace suite are the surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel. The surround can be constructed of solid stone or manufactured stone, based on the type of fire you choose. It is designed to complement the fire by size, colour, and shape.

Traditionally, homeowners who live in homes that have Pre-Cast flues are restricted to small standard inset gas fires that sit on the hearth. However, nowadays, thanks to the innovative Earlston 950 by Elgin & Hall you can add a stylish complete contemporary marble fireplace suite that incorporates a wide landscape feature gas fire that lets the stunning flames take center stage. This magnificent suite is suitable for installation on a flat wall into the Class 2 Pre-Cast flue opening and is available in either White or Manila micro marble with the option of a Bauhaus fret or chrome-finished gas fire.

Electric fireplaces make use of fans to draw cool air into the room, and then re-heat the air at an increased temperature before release it back into your home. The system is extremely energy efficient, which means that your electricity bill will be less. The majority of models also come with an option for low-level lighting to create a gentle glow or to create an ambient ambience within your home.

A fireplace suite consists of four major elements that include an inset fireplace, surround/mantelpiece, a back panel with hearth, and a back wall. Solid fuel stoves work best in homes with chimneys. Gas or electric fires can create various flame images and heat outputs. In addition, balanced flue fires are made for homes without chimneys and are a viable alternative to traditional open flames.

Solid fuel fireplaces come with an ash pan and grate below the fire to contain the wood or any other solid fuels you may use. These fireplaces come in a variety of finishes, including cast iron, limestone, and wood. Some are equipped with a back panel that adds more character to the room while others require a separate hearth.

Aluminized firesuits offer superior protection against extreme temperatures and are designed to be comfortable to breathe. They also have lower weight than proximity suits, and are typically used in environments where employees must move around freely. The proximity suit on the other hand is designed to offer superior protection and are often employed in the firefighting industry and foundries in which workers are near to extreme heat sources.

Style

Fire suites make a wonderful focal feature for any room. They offer both functionality and fashion. Designed as an entire package, they include all four elements of a fireplace, including the surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel sets and fire, and are guaranteed to operate in harmony to create a luxuriously extravagant centre piece.

Durability is a major consideration when purchasing fire suits. Making investments in durability will lower costs in the long run and also save money on repurchasing the garment until the time it is worn out typically 5-10 years. It's also essential to consider how the garment will be in a position to withstand industrial laundering which is a crucial factor in maintaining its safety standards compliance and overall longevity.

Aluminized Fire Suits

designed to shield against heat radiation and metal splashes that molten, aluminized fire suits feature an outer layer treated with aluminum to reflect radiant loads.  Freestanding electric fireplace suites  are often employed in areas that expose workers to extreme temperatures.
