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 chosen must conform to industry-specific safety standards such as NFPA to ensure adequate protection against hazards that have been identified. For instance proximity suits are designed to shield firefighters from radiant heat and hot metallic splashes.
Gas
Gas fires and suites offer the ideal option for modern homes as they permit the flame effect and heat output to be regulated by a simple control within the fire. Fireplace Megastore offers a selection of gas suites from leading manufacturers like Elgin & Hall and Burley & Gazco with a variety of styles, sizes and finishes that will suit modern and traditional homes. Suites can be purchased between traditional chimney flue fireplaces powered by gas and balanced flue fireplaces for homes without chimneys.

The surround can be made from solid stone or manufactured stone, based on the type of fire selected. It is designed to complement the fire by size, colour, and shape.
