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 can be used with gas, solid fuel or electric.
The chosen suit must adhere to industry-specific safety standards like NFPA to ensure adequate protection from hazards identified. For example proximity suits are made to protect firefighters from heat radiation and molten metallic splashes.
Gas
Gas fires are the ideal option for modern homes, as they offer the ability to regulate the flame effect as well as the heat output from the easy control located within the fire. Fireplace Megastore has a wide range of gas suites by leading manufacturers such as Elgin & Hall, Burley & Gazco and many more with a variety of styles, finishes and sizes to match traditional and contemporary homes. Suites can be purchased between traditional chimney flue fireplaces that are gas-fueled and balanced flue fireplaces that are suitable for homes that do not have chimneys.
Gas fire suites can transform the look of a room if they are installed correctly in the correct chimney opening.

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