Hotels with fireplaces provide an inherent luxury that creates warm memories and inspires guests to return. Find out how you can add this feeling to your hotel.

The hearth

The hearth is a platform that is flat that is located at the base of the fireplace. Its purpose is to shield the wall and floor from embers or heat. It is typically made of non-combustible materials such as brick or stone and can extend anywhere from 16 to 18 inches in front of the firebox. Most wood and gas fireplaces require a hearth and electric fireplace suites typically do not require a hearth.

As a general rule, fireplace suites consist of four main components; an inset fire (either gas or electric), a surround/mantelpiece, a back panel and the hearth. The four components combine to create a focal point that will enhance aesthetics and make your home more inviting. Suites are great for anyone who wants to give their home an updated look and restyle it.

Suites come in a wide variety of finishes, styles and colors to match any style. There are also a wide range of options for the kind of fire, flame effect and heating output. Conventional gas-fuelled fires are the best choice for homes that have chimneys, while balanced flue fires are an alternative that can be used safely in properties without a chimney.

Electric fireplace suites are an excellent alternative for those looking to create an element of interest to their living spaces without the hassle of putting up a traditional wood burner or gas fire. They generate their own heat through convection which draws in cool air and heats it up before venting out into the room. These suites do not emit carbon monoxide which is dangerous to inhale.

The back panel

A back panel for the fireplace is situated at the back of the fireplace opening. It helps to create an 'N-shaped' design by combining the surround, mantelpiece, and inset fire. It can be constructed of various heat-resistant materials like granite and stone.

The back panel is typically included in a fireplace suite which includes a surround, a mantelpiece, as well as an inset fire appliance. This can save you time and effort when installing, since the components are designed to be able to fit seamlessly.

There are also standalone back panels that can be purchased, which are ideal in situations where you're replacing the appearance of a fireplace with electric or gas and want to upgrade the appearance of the existing chimney breast without having to remove it. These back panels are available in different styles and materials so that you can choose the right one for your home.

In addition to being a stylish option as well as a Stylish 36 Inch Adam Electric Fireplace Suite - Textured Black - see this page - option, back panels are generally made of a material that is heat-resistant which is crucial to protect your walls and floor from the effects of your fireplace suite.

The fire

This will depend on a few factors like the fireplace's wattage and current electricity costs, and how many hours you're planning to use it every day. Divide the wattage of the fireplace by the energy cost per kilowatt hour charged by your electricity provider.

The surround of your fireplace and mantelpiece can have a major impact on the way it appears in your space. Some are designed with intricate designs that provide visual interest, while others have a more subtle look that blends in with any interior style. There is even the suite with an LED glow log effect that gives the impression of a real fire, without needing any fuel.

There are four kinds of fire places: wood (nice for viewing and feeling but less efficient, emits air pollutants, including carbon monoxide and particulate matter), gas (more efficient in energy use, but still emits carbon monoxide, burns natural or synthesized logs) and electric (uses the technology of fan and coil, doesn't emit any dangerous gases, and is extremely economical and comfortable). Choose a fireplace suite with a high BTU rating if you want the most effective results. This will make your room warm faster and provide more realistic flame effects.
