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 gas, electric or solid fuel.
The suit selected must conform to specific safety standards for the industry such as NFPA in order to ensure adequate protection against hazards that have been identified. For example proximity suits are designed to protect firefighters from radiant heat as well as molten metal splashes.
Gas
Gas fires are a great choice for modern homes, because they allow you to regulate the flame effect as well as the heat output from the convenient control that is located within the fire. Fireplace Megastore offers a selection of gas suites from top manufacturers such as Elgin & Hall and Burley & Gazco with a variety of sizes, styles and finishes to fit modern and traditional homes. Suites are available between traditional gas-fueled chimney flue fireplaces and balanced flue fireplaces that are suitable for homes that do not have 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. The surround can be constructed of stone that is solid or manufactured stone, depending on the type of fire chosen. It is designed to complement the fire's size, colour, and shape.

They are also lighter than proximity suits and are often used in places where employees must be able to move around freely.
