Gas fire suites are modern and sleek version of fireplace design. They provide the benefits of a flame effect, as well as heat output. They can be fitted in properties with or without chimneys. They are also suitable for homes with pre-cast flues. They can be attached to the wall or incorporated into a hearth.

These kinds of fires are powered by a natural-gas supply which is connected to your central heating system or an external propane tank. It is crucial to work with a certified gas engineer to ensure your gas installation is safe and completed correctly.

The gas is then delivered to your home, where it can be used for heating. Any by-products will be vented outside.

The final type of gas fire is vented or non-vented. Vented gas fires can be incorporated in your existing chimney or a factory-built metal chimney, with exhaust transferred to the outside by an elongated liner or a one pipe within the chimney breast. Non-vented gas fires, however make use of a hot box to create a flame effect and heat and the heat is transferred to the air inside your room and then out via a vent in your chimney breast.

Electric

Electric fire suites are great for those who want the appearance of a fireplace, but do not want to go through the hassle of chimneys, flues or any other structural work. Installing them is simple because they are right against the wall and plug into an electrical outlet. They are available in a wide selection of styles ranging from modern to traditional and are extremely adaptable.

Electric fire suites, unlike gas-fires, emit no heat. Instead, they employ an innovation called "flame effects" to create the appearance of real flames and a smoke. These are achieved using LED lights and mirrors to create an authentic glow. Some of the most advanced models use water vapor and colored lighting to produce flickering flames with holographic effects. This is a very popular option and can appear quite realistic.

Solid Fuel

Solid fuel fire sets bring that traditional, cosy style to your home. The flickering flames of real coal, wood or pebbles emit an inviting glow and create a relaxing atmosphere. It's no wonder this kind of fireplace is still very popular particularly in winter when a real fire can help reduce your energy bills.

Solid fuel furnaces are perfect for larger rooms because they can provide central heating and hot water. The system makes use of a wood burner, pellet heater or coal fired stove to heat the air. The heated air is then circulated throughout the home through a heating system, and then blown into ducting in the room through vents.

A solid fuel fire requires a grate and ash pan beneath the fire, as well as a chimney to expel the gas and smoke. A chimney must be lined with a material that complies with the regulations applicable to it and be lined with the appropriate product. The fire suit must be installed by a certified technician and regularly inspected for safety and performance. Creosote accumulation in chimneys is a major fire cause in solid fuel appliances. Proper maintenance and care are therefore essential.
