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 electric, gas or solid fuel.
The suit you choose to wear must adhere to industry-specific safety standards such as NFPA to ensure adequate protection from identified hazards. For example proximity suits focus on protecting firefighters from radiant heat and melting metal splashes.
Gas
Gas fires are the perfect choice for modern homes, because they allow you to control the flame effect and the heat output from the convenient control that is located inside the fire. Fireplace Megastore has a wide selection of gas suites made by major manufacturers like Elgin & Hall, Burley & Gazco and others in a variety of styles, finishes and sizes to suit both contemporary and traditional homes. Suites are available with a choice of conventional gas-fueled chimney flue fires as well as balanced flue fires suitable for homes without a chimney.
When properly installed to the correct chimney opening, a gas firesuite can transform the room. The main components of a fireplace suite are the surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel. Based on the type of fire you choose the surround can be constructed from stone or manufactured stone, and is designed to match the fire in terms of size color, shape and colour.
In the past, homeowners with Pre-Cast Flues were limited to small inset gas fireplaces that sat on the top of a fire place. However, thanks to the Earlston 950 from Elgin and Hall's unique design, you can add a stylish designer marble fireplace suite which incorporates an outdoor feature gas flame that puts the flames center stage. This suite is designed for flat wall installation into a Class 2 Pre-Cast flue opening. It is available in White or Manila Micro Marble and comes with a choice between the Bauhaus fret finish or chrome finish.
Electric
Electric fires come in a range of appealing designs and finishes that add warmth to your living space and creating an impressive focal point. These suites require no chimney or flue to install and offer a range of options that make them an ideal option.
Electric fireplaces use fans to draw cool air in the room, and then re-heat the air at the same temperature before release it back into your home. The system is extremely energy efficient, which means that your electric bill will be less. Most models also have an option for low-level lighting to create an ethereal glow or to create an ambient atmosphere within your home.

A few of our electric suites come with an app control that can be added for ultimate convenience and ease of use. The Smart eControl app is free to download and allows you to operate your fireplace at the touch of a button.
Solid Fuel
The most authentic, natural and warm option to warm your home, a solid-fuel fire place will provide you with the roaring fire that can't be replicated by an electric or gas fire. Our collection of contemporary and traditional open-fronted designs will fit any decor, from country cottage to contemporary urban living.

A fireplace suite is made up of four main components; an inset fire, surround/mantelpiece and a back panel as well as a hearth. Gas or electric fires provide different flame pictures and heat outputs, whereas solid fuel stoves are the best solution for homes with a chimney. Alternatively, balanced flue fires are suited for homes that do not have chimneys and offer an alternative to traditional open flames.
Solid fuel fireplaces include an ash pan or grate beneath the fire that holds the coal, wood or other solid fuel. These fireplaces are available in a variety of finishes that include cast iron, limestone, and wood. Some come with back panels that add personality to the suite and others require a hearth.

Deluxe
A luxurious fireplace suite brings a sense of grandeur and style to any room which makes it the ideal focal point for your living space.

It is important to think about the type of environment and the level of heat exposure before deciding which firesuit is right for you.
Aluminized fire suits provide excellent protection against extreme temperatures and are designed to be air-conditioned. They also have a lighter weight than proximity suits, and are often used in areas where employees must move freely. Proximity suits on the other hand, are designed to provide superior insulation, and are commonly employed in firefighting and foundries where workers need to be close to extreme heat sources.
Style
Fire suites are a great focal point for any room. They provide both function and style. Designed as an entire package, they include all four elements of a fireplace, including the surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel sets and fire, and are guaranteed to operate in harmony to create a luxuriously extravagant centre piece.
Durability is a major consideration when buying fire suits. Investing in durability will reduce long-term costs and save you money when you repurchase the suit until it's time to retire, ideally 5-10 years. It's also essential to consider how the garment is capable of enduring industrial laundering which is a crucial factor in maintaining its safety standards compliance and overall longevity.
Aluminized Fire Suits
Aluminized firesuits are designed to protect against radiant heat, molten metal splashes and other radiant loads. The outer layer is coated with aluminum. They are commonly used in environments where workers are exposed to direct sunlight and high temperatures.
Proximity Firesuits
Most often, they are used in specific industries, like industrial and aerospace kilns, proximity fire suits offer superior insulation over the aluminized suits available. These suits are designed to withstand high temperature by incorporating advanced insulation materials, like a quilted Nomex fabric.
