When properly installed to the correct chimney opening, a gas firesuite can change the look of a room. The main components of a fireplace suite are the surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel. Depending on the style of fire you choose, the surround can either be constructed from made or solid stone and is designed to compliment the fire in terms of size color, shape and colour.

Traditionally, homeowners who live in homes with Pre-Cast flues were limited to shallow standard sized inset gas fires that are placed on the top of a hearth, but nowadays, thanks to the innovative Earlston 950 by Elgin & Hall you can add a stylish complete marble fireplace which includes a large landscape feature gas fire that lets the stunning flames shine in the center.

Aluminized firesuits offer superior protection against extreme temperatures and are designed to be air-conditioned. They are also lighter than proximity suits and are used in workplaces where employees need to be able to move around freely. Proximity suits, on contrary, are designed to provide superior insulation, and are commonly employed in firefighting and foundries where workers have to be close to extreme heat sources.

Durability is a major consideration when buying fire suits. Making investments in durability will lower long-term costs and save you money on repurchasing the garment until it's time to retire typically 5-10 years. It's also crucial to consider how well the garment is able to hold up to industrial laundering, which is an important factor in maintaining its safety standards compliance and overall longevity.
