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' suites are ideal for bedrooms, living rooms extensions, bathrooms and bedrooms.

Hotels with fireplaces offer an inherent feeling of luxury that orchestrates warm memories and encourages customers to return. Learn how you can bring this feeling to your hotel.

The hearth

The hearth is a platform that is flat at the bottom of the fireplace. Its primary function is to protect the wall and floor from embers or heat. It is typically made of non-combustible materials such as brick or stone and can extend from 16 to 18 inches in front of the firebox. Most wood and gas fireplaces require a hearth, and electric fireplace suites typically 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. These parts operate in tandem to create a centrepiece that will enhance the aesthetics of any room and make your home feel more welcoming. As a result, suites are a great option for anyone seeking to update their interior and give it a brand new look.

Suites come in a wide variety of finishes, styles and colors to match any decor. There is also a range of choices for the type of fire, flame effect and heating output. Conventional fires with gas fuel are ideal for homes with chimneys. However, balanced flue fireplaces are safe to use without chimneys.

Electric fireplace suites can be a great choice for those who wish to add a focal piece to their living space without having to put in a traditional gas or wood fire. The suites generate their own heat by convection that draws in cool air and warms it before venting it out into the room. Contrary to fireplaces that burn wood, these suites do not release carbon monoxide that can be harmful if inhaled.

The back panel

A fireplace back panel is located at the back of the fireplace opening. It is used to create an 'N-shaped' design by combining the mantelpiece, surround, and the inset fire. It is made from a variety of heat-resistant materials, including stone and granite.

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

There are also separate back panels that are ideal for replacing an electric or gas fireplace, or to improve the appearance of an existing chimney breast. Back panels are available in various styles and materials so you can pick the one that is suitable for your home.


Back panels are not just elegant and stylish, but they're made of materials that are resistant to heat. This is crucial because it shields your walls and floors from the effects of a fireplace suite. This is especially true when you opt for a solid fuel or gas fireplace suite. They will produce an enormous amount of heat that is transferred through the ceiling and wall to the space.

A back panel can assist in tying together your entire fireplace suite particularly if you're opting for a more modern design. This stunning flamerite Ador electric fireplace suite includes, for instance, a back panel with a curved fire picture which enhances the look of the fire.

The surround/mantelpiece

The fire

The fire is the heart of any fireplace set however, it doesn't have to be a wood-burning one. There are plenty of other alternatives available, such as gas and electric. It is essential to choose a design that fits your space and your needs. You can also pick a larger fireplace or one with a larger panel that frames the fire to create a stunning focal point in your living space.

Consider how much the amount of heat your home will require when choosing the right fireplace set. This will depend on a few factors, including the amount of heat produced by the fireplace and the current electricity rates and the length of time you plan to use 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 will also have a significant impact on how it looks. Some are designed with intricate designs that add an extra dimension of visual interest to the space, while others have more subtle and blends into most styles of interiors. There is a selection with an LED glow log to create the illusion of a real fireplace without any fuel.

There are four kinds of fireplaces including wood (nice to look at and feel but less efficient, emits air pollutants such as particulate matter and carbon monoxide), gas (more energy efficient however still emits carbon monoxide and is burned by natural or synthesized logs) and electric (uses the technology of fan and coil that doesn't release dangerous gasses, is very cost-effective and cozy). If you want to get the most value of your fireplace, choose one with high BTUs. This will warm your home faster and provide more realistic flame effects.
