Hotels with fireplaces give a sense of luxury and warmth that entices guests to return. Find out how to bring this feeling to your hotel.
The hearth
The hearth is a platform that is flat that is located at the base of the fireplace. Its primary function is to protect the wall and floor from heat or embers. It is typically made of non-combustible substances like brick or stone and extends between 16 and 18 inches in front of the fireplace. 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. These components are grouped together to create an area of interest that will enhance the appearance of your home more inviting. Suites are great for anyone who wants to give their home an updated look and restyle it.
Suites are available in various styles, colours and finishes to suit any style. There is also a range of options for the type of fire, flame effect and heating output. Conventional fires with gas fuel are ideal for homes with chimneys, whereas balanced flue fireplaces can be used safely without chimneys.
Electric fireplace suites are a great option for those who want to add an element of interest to their living spaces without the hassle of putting up an old-fashioned wood burner or gas fire. They generate their own heat through convection which draws in cool air and heats it up before venting out into the room. These suites do not emit carbon monoxide that is dangerous to breathe in.
The back panel
As the name suggests, a fireplace back panel sits in the rear of your fireplace opening and helps create an attractive 'n'-shaped design in the mantelpiece, surround and the fire inset. This can be made from various heat-resistant materials including stone, granite and slate.
The back panel is typically part of a fireplace suite that includes a surround a mantelpiece, as well as an inset fire appliance. This is an ideal way to save time and effort in the process of installation since the components have been made to work seamlessly both structurally and visually.
There are also standalone back panels that are ideal to replace an electric or gas fireplace, or to improve the appearance of a chimney's existing. The back panels are available in a range of different styles and materials, so you'll be able to choose the right one for your home.
Back panels are not just stylish they are made of materials that are resistant to heat. This is important as they shield your floors and walls from the effects of the fireplace suite. This is particularly true when you select a gas or solid fuel fireplace, since they produce a significant amount of heat that could be transferred to nearby areas through the wall and ceiling.
A back panel will allow you create a cohesive look for your fireplace suite especially if you are going for a contemporary design. For instance, this stunning flamerite Ador LED electric fireplace has a curved flame picture that enhances the look of your brand new fire. When combined with a contemporary open-fronted electric fire this suite can create an impressive focal element in any living space and dining area or extension.
This Elgin and Hall Farnham Deluxe Suite comes with the renowned Chollerton gas fire that is set. The glass-fronted fire is a showpiece, and when combined with the limestone surround and back panel, it will elevate any house to new heights.
For a more minimalist approach this sleek wall-mounted flamerite Edwin LED electric suite is a great choice. The suite can be hung on any flat wall and can be operated with the remote control that comes with it - simple to use, and without chimney or flue required, it's the perfect choice for modern homes.
The surround/mantelpiece
Contrary to traditional fireplaces that must be fitted with a back panel as well as a fire surround, modern electric fireplaces can be installed to the wall in a flush position and create a stunning focal point. They are ideal for homes with limited space or no chimney or flue.
The selection of electric fireplace suites at Fires2U has a wide range of designs and sizes, so it's easy to find the perfect one for your home. Select from beautiful stone designs like the Carron corbel for an elegant Georgian appearance, or pick something more minimalist like the Gallery Lincoln with its clean lines and simple elegance. Pine surrounds are popular too and the Gallery Corbel from Carron is no exception. This piece can be finished with wax or left unfinished to highlight the color and texture of the wood.
You can choose a marble surround for a more sophisticated appearance. The Elgin & Hall Vitalia Marble electric fire suite is an impressive option with its beautiful detail and an angled step design. Pureglow Hanley, if you are looking for something more subtle, is a great option. The surround is available in a grey finish. It can be used with either large electric fireplace with mantel fireplace suite (recommended you read) or gas fireplaces.

The Flamerite Aubade and Tennyson LED cast iron fireplace suites have an attractive curved mantelpiece. They are made to work with wood-burning, electric or gas fireplaces.

These are often larger than standard suites and are ideal for adding a touch of class to your living space. They are typically available in a variety of different styles and colors which means you're certain to find one that is a perfect match for your current decor. You can also opt for mirror-like surrounds to create a dramatic impact and increase the amount of light entering your living space.
The fire
The fire surround suites is the centerpiece of any fireplace set, but it doesn't have to be a wood-burning fireplace. Free standing electric fireplaces and gas are both alternatives. It's important to choose a design that fits your space and needs. You can also select the larger model or fireplace with a larger panel to frame the fire and create an amazing focal point for your room.
When selecting a fireplace suite, be sure to consider the amount of heat you'll need for your home. It will be determined by a few factors, including the amount of heat produced by the fireplace and the current electricity rates and the amount of time you plan to use it every day. To determine this, you must divide the wattage of the fireplace by the electricity company's energy rate per kilowatt hour.
The fireplace's surround and mantelpiece can play a big role in how it looks in your space. Some have intricate designs that add an extra layer of visual interest to the space, while others offer more minimalist and blends in with all styles of interiors. You can find a set with an LED glow log to create the illusion of a real fireplace without using any fuel.
When it comes to fire places there are four kinds of wood (nice to view and feel but less efficient; releases air pollutants like particulate matter, carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide) and gas (more energy-efficient but still generates carbon monoxide and burns natural or synthetic logs) and electric (uses a coil and fan process, doesn't release any dangerous gases, very economical and comfortable). Choose a fireplace suite with a high BTU rating if you want the most effective results. This will make your room warm faster and provide an authentic flame effect.
