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 with solid fuel, gas or electric.
The suit you choose to wear must conform to industry specific safety standards such as NFPA in order to ensure adequate protection from hazards identified. For example proximity suits are designed to protect firefighters from radiant heat and molten metal splashes.
Gas
Gas fires are a great 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 from major manufacturers like Elgin & Hall, Burley & Gazco and many more in a variety of styles and sizes, which fit both traditional and contemporary homes. Suites are available between traditional chimney flue fireplaces powered by gas and balanced flue fireplaces for homes that do not have chimneys.
Gas fire suites can completely transform the look of a room if they are properly installed in the right chimney opening. The main components of a fireplace suite are the surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel. The surround is made of stone that is solid or manufactured stone, based on the type of fire chosen. It is designed to complement the fireplace by size as well as colour and shape.
Traditionally, homeowners living in homes with Pre-Cast flues were limited to shallow standard sized inset gas fires that sit on the top of a hearth, but nowadays, thanks to the innovative Earlston 950 by Elgin & Hall you can create a stylish and elegant marble fireplace that includes a wide-spread feature gas fire that lets the beautiful flames shine in the center. This suite is designed to be installed flat on the wall into a Class 2 Pre-Cast flue opening.

It's also crucial to consider how well the garment is able to hold up to industrial laundering which is a crucial factor in maintaining the safety standards of the garment and its overall longevity.
