How To Determine If You're Prepared To Firesuites

The fireplace suite is made up of four main components: an inset fire, surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel. It is available in electric, gas or solid fuel.

The suit selected must conform to industry specific safety standards such as NFPA for adequate protection against identified hazards. For example proximity suits are designed to protect firefighters against radiant heat and melting metal splashes.

Gas

Gas fires are the perfect choice for modern homes because they allow you to regulate the flame effect as well as the output of heat from the convenient control that is located inside the fire. Fireplace Megastore offers a selection of gas suites from leading manufacturers including Elgin & Hall and Burley & Gazco in a variety of styles, sizes and finishes to suit both modern and traditional homes. Suites are available with a range of conventional fireplaces that are powered by gas or balanced flue fires that are suitable for homes with no chimney.

Gas fire suites can completely transform the look of a room if they are installed correctly in the correct chimney opening. The main components of a fireplace suite are the surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel. Based on the type of fire chosen, the surround can either be made from stone or manufactured stone, and is designed to compliment the fire in terms of size, colour and shape.

Traditionally, homeowners who live in homes that have Pre-Cast flues are restricted to small standard inset gas fireplaces that sit on top of a hearth but nowadays, thanks to the innovative Earlston 950 by Elgin & Hall you can create a stylish and elegant contemporary marble fireplace suite that incorporates a wide landscape feature gas fire that lets the stunning flames take center stage.

Aluminized firesuits are constructed to breathe and provide excellent protection from extreme temperatures. They are also lighter than proximity suits and are used in environments where employees must be able to move around freely.

It is also important to think about the degree to which a garment is able to withstand industrial washing. This is a key element in maintaining safety standards compliance and overall durability.
