What Are Fire Suites?

Gas
Gas fire suites are a contemporary and sleek version of fireplace design. They offer the advantages of a flame effect as well as heat output. They can be incorporated in homes with or without a chimney. They can also be used in homes with pre-cast flues and can be attached to the wall or integrated into the hearth.
These kinds of fires operate on an natural gas supply that is connected to your central heating system or to an external propane tank. To ensure that your gas installation is secure you should consult a certified engineer.

The gas is then delivered to your home, where it can be used for heating. Any by-products will be vented outside.
A final type of gas fire is a vented or non-vented. Vented gas fires can be installed into your existing chimney system or a factory-built chimney, with exhaust directed to the outside via an elongated liner or a one pipe within the chimney breast. Non-vented gas fires, however utilize a hotbox to create a flame effect and heat and the heat is transferred to the air in your room and then out via a vent in your chimney breast.
Electricity
Electric fire suites are ideal for those who desire the appearance of a fireplace, but do not wish to deal with the hassle of chimneys, flues or significant structural work. They can be installed easily, sitting flush against a wall and plugging into a power socket. They are available in a wide selection of styles ranging from contemporary to traditional and are extremely versatile.
Electric fire suites, unlike gas-fires, emit no heat. Instead, they employ an innovation called "flame effects" to give the appearance of real flames and smoke. This is achieved by using LED lights and mirrors that create a lifelike glow. Some of the most advanced models employ colored lighting and water vapor to create holographic flickering fires. This is a popular choice, and can look quite realistic.

While open fireplaces and decorative stoves are popular, the solid fuel furnace is ideal for larger rooms as they can provide complete central heating and hot water. This type of furnace uses the use of pellets, coal or wood-fired stove to heat the air. The heated air is then circulated throughout the house through a heating system and then blown into ducting in the room via vents.
A solid fuel fire needs an ash pan, grate and chimney to expel gases and smoke. A chimney should be lined with a product that is compliant with the applicable regulations and be lined with the appropriate product. The fire suit must be installed by a licensed technician and regularly inspected for safety and performance. Creosote buildup in the chimney is the most common cause of fire in solid fuel appliances therefore maintaining and taking care of the chimney is crucial.
