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 chosen must adhere to safety standards specific to the industry such as NFPA for adequate protection from hazards identified. For instance, proximity suits are designed to protect firefighters from radiant heat and molten metallic splashes.
Gas
Gas fires and suites provide the ideal option for modern homes as they permit the flame effect and the heat output to be controlled from a convenient control located inside the fire. Fireplace Megastore offers a selection of gas suites from leading manufacturers such as Elgin & Hall and Burley & Gazco in a range of styles, sizes and finishes to suit both modern and traditional homes. Suites can be purchased between traditional chimney flue fireplaces that are gas-fueled and balanced flue fireplaces suitable for homes that do not have chimneys.
When fitted correctly to the correct chimney opening, a gas firesuite can change the look of a room. The main components of a fireplace suite are the surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel. The surround can be constructed from solid stone or manufactured stone, depending on the type of fire you choose. It is designed to complement the fire's size, colour, and shape.
Traditionally, homeowners living in homes with Pre-Cast flues have been restricted to standard-sized shallow inset gas fires that are placed on top of a hearth but nowadays, thanks to the innovative Earlston 950 by Elgin & Hall you can build a chic, complete marble fireplace that incorporates a wide landscape feature gas fire that lets the beautiful flames take center stage.

Aluminized firesuits are constructed to breathe and provide excellent protection from extreme temperatures. They also have lower weight than proximity suits and are commonly employed in workplaces where employees must move around freely.

It is important to consider how well a garment will endure industrial washing. This is an important element in maintaining safety standards compliance and overall durability.
