Fireplace Suites - The Complete Package

A fireplace suite is the complete package; it includes a surround/mantelpiece, hearth and fire all working together to create the centrepiece of your home. Evolution Fires' range of suites is ideal for living rooms, extensions and bedrooms but they also work well in bathrooms for the real flame effect.

Hotels with fireplaces provide a sense of warmth and luxury that entices guests to return. Find out how to add this luxury to your hotel.

The hearth

The hearth is a flat, sloping platform at the bottom of the fireplace. Its primary function is to protect the floor and wall from embers or heat. It is usually made from non-combustible material like stone or brick and extends 16 to 18 inches prior to the firebox. Most wood and gas fireplaces require a hearth, while electric fireplace suites often do not require a hearth.

As a general rule, fireplace suites consist of four main components; an inset fire (either gas or electric), a surround/mantelpiece, a back panel and the hearth. The four components combine to create an area of interest that will enhance aesthetics and make your home more inviting. Suites are ideal for anyone looking to give their home a new look and revamp it.

Suites come in a wide variety of styles, finishes and colors to match any style. They also provide a broad selection of options for type of fire and flame effect, as well as heating outputs. Gas-fueled fires that are conventional are the perfect choice for homes with chimneys, and balanced flue fires are an alternative that can be used safely in homes without chimneys.

Electric fireplace suites can be an excellent option for those who wish to add a focal point to their living space without having to put in traditional wood or gas fire. The suites generate their own heat via convection, which draws in cool air and heats it up before venting out into the room. They do not emit carbon monoxide that is dangerous to inhale.

The back panel

A fireplace back panel is situated behind the fireplace opening. It helps to create an 'n-shaped' look with the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire. It is made from a variety of heat-resistant materials such as granite and stone.

The back panel is usually part of a fireplace suite that includes a surround, a mantelpiece, and an inset fire appliance. This is an excellent way to cut down on time and effort in the process of installation since the components have been designed to be a seamless fit both structurally and visually.

There are also separate back panels that can be purchased, which are ideal for situations when you are replacing a gas or electric fireplace and want to change the appearance of your existing chimney without having to remove it. Back panels are available in a variety of designs and materials, so you can find the perfect one for your home.


Back panels are not just stylish and stylish, but they're constructed of durable materials. This is important because they shield your walls and floors from the effects of the fireplace suite. This is especially important if you choose a gas or solid fuel fireplace suite. They can generate an enormous amount of heat that is transferred through the ceiling and wall to the surrounding area.

A back panel will allow you to create a cohesive design for your fireplace suite particularly if you're looking for a modern design. For instance, this stunning flamerite Ador LED electric fireplace suite comes with an angled flame design which really enhances the appearance of your new fire. Combined with a modern open-fronted electric fire, this suite will make a stunning focal element in any living space, dining room or extension.

Additionally, the Elgin and Hall Farnham Deluxe suite is equipped with the well-known Chollerton inset gas fire. This glass-fronted fire front is a real eye-catcher. It can transform any space when paired with the limestone surround and back panels.

This stunning wall-mounted Flamerite Edwin LED electric set is perfect for minimalist designs. The suite can be hung on any flat wall and be operated with the remote control that comes with it easy to use, and without chimney or flue required, it's the ideal option for modern homes.

The surround/mantelpiece

Unlike traditional fireplaces, which require an apex back panel and fire surround, modern electric suites can be hung flush against the wall and create an impressive focal point. They are perfect for homes with limited space or no chimney or flue.

Fires2U's electric fireplace collection offers a variety of styles and sizes, so you can find the ideal one for your home. Choose from elegant stone designs such as the Carron Corbel for the classic Georgian look, or go for a minimalist style with the Gallery Lincoln which boasts clean lines and simple elegance. Pine surrounds are also popular, and the Gallery Corbel from Carron is no exception. The piece is available unfinished or with wax finishes to bring out the wood's colour and texture.

For a more sophisticated appearance you can choose marble surrounds. Elgin & Hall Vitalia Marble Electric Fire Suite is a stunning choice with its stunning details. If you're looking for something more delicate and elegant, the Pureglow Hanley is a great option. This surround comes with gray and is suitable for use with gas or electric fires.

You can choose marble surrounds or a fire with a white finish for a more modern look. The Carron Ashleigh surround is a popular option that works with both electric and gas fireplaces.

For fire place suites who love the ambience of real flames in their living spaces, traditional cast iron furniture is a great option. The Flamerite Aubade and Tennyson LED cast iron fireplace sets feature a stylish curved mantelpiece and are made to work with wood-burning electric or gas fireplaces. Standard, they include a remote control that allows you to easily adjust the flame and lighting settings.

If you're looking to add an element of luxury you should consider a luxurious fireplace suite? These suites are usually larger than standard ones and enhance the look of your living room. They are typically available in a variety of colors and finishes which means you're certain to find one that is a perfect match for your decor. You can also opt for mirrors to create a dramatic impact and increase the amount of light that enters your living space.

The fire

The fire is the heart of any fireplace set however it doesn't need to be a wood-burning fireplace. There are plenty of other options out there, including electric and gas. The most important thing is to choose a design that complements the space and will meet your needs. You can also choose an extra large fireplace or one with a wider frame that frames the fireplace to create a stunning focal point in your living space.

When you are choosing a fireplace suite, be sure to take into consideration the amount of heat you'll require to heat your home. This will depend on a few factors including the wattage of the fireplace and current electricity costs and how long you'll be using it daily. Divide the wattage of the fireplace by the energy cost per kilowatt-hour charged by your electricity provider.

The mantelpiece and surround of your fireplace also have a significant impact on the way it appears. Some come with intricate designs that add an additional dimension of visual interest to the room while others offer more minimalist and blends in with all interior styles. You can even find a suite that has an LED inside glow log effect that gives the appearance of a real fire without making use of any fuel.

There are four types of fireplaces: wood (nice for viewing and smelling but less efficient, it releases air pollutants such as carbon monoxide and particulate matter), gas (more energy efficient but still produces carbon monoxide, burns natural or synthesized logs), and electric (uses coils and fan technology that doesn't release dangerous gases, and is extremely economical and cozy). If you want to get the most out of your fireplace set-up make sure you choose one with high BTUs. This will warm your home faster and give a more authentic flame effect.
