Hotels with fireplaces offer an inherent luxury that creates warm memories and encourages customers to return. Discover how you can add this luxury to your hotel property.
The hearth
The hearth is a flat platform which is situated at the base of a fireplace. It is designed to protect the floor and wall from embers or heat damage. It is typically made of non-combustible materials like brick or stone, and it extends between 16 and 18 inches in front of the firebox. Most wood and gas fireplaces require a hearth while electric fireplace suites often 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. These parts operate in tandem to create a centerpiece that will enhance the aesthetics of any room and make your home feel more inviting. Suites are great for anyone who wants to give their home a new look and revamp it.
Suites are available in a wide selection of finishes, styles and colours to suit any style. They also offer a wide range of choices when it comes to the type of fire and effect and heating outputs. Conventional fires with gas fuel work best in homes with chimneys, while balanced flue fireplaces can be used safely without chimneys.
Electric fireplace suites are an excellent alternative for those looking to add an element of interest to their living spaces without the hassle of putting in a traditional wood burner or gas fire. The suites generate their own heat through convection, which draws in cool air, then heats it up before venting out into the room. They do not emit carbon monoxide which is dangerous to breathe in.
The back panel
A fireplace back panel is situated at the back of the fireplace opening. It helps to create an 'n-shaped' design with the mantelpiece, surround, and the inset fire. This can be made from several materials that resist heat, including stone, granite and slate.
The majority of fireplace sets come with a back panel as part of an all-in-one solution that includes a mantelpiece, a surround and an inset fire appliance. This can be an excellent way to cut down on time and effort in the process of installation since the components have been designed to fit together seamlessly both structurally and visually.
There are also standalone back panels that are ideal to replace a gas fireplace or electric fireplace, and upgrading the appearance of a chimney's existing. Back panels are available in a range of different styles and materials, so you'll be able to choose the right one for your home.
Back panels aren't just stylish they are constructed of durable materials. This is important because it shields your walls and floors from the effects of a fireplace suite. This is especially true if you opt for gas or a solid fuel fireplace, because they generate an immense amount of heat that could be transferred to the surrounding areas via the wall and ceiling.
A back panel will allow you to create a cohesive design for your fireplace suite, particularly if you are going for a contemporary design. This stunning flamerite Ador electric fireplace is a great example. It comes with a curved fire picture which enhances the look of the fire.

The fire
The fire is the heart of any fireplace set, but it doesn't have to be a wood-burning fireplace. There are many other alternatives available, such as electric and gas. The most important thing is to choose an option that fits the space and will meet your requirements. You can also choose a fireplace that is larger or with a larger panel that frames the fire to create a stunning focal in your room.
When selecting a fireplace, make sure to think about the amount of heat you'll require for your home. This will depend upon some factors, such as the power of the fireplace as well as the current rates for electricity and the length of time you're planning to use it daily. To determine this, you can divide the fire's wattage by the electricity company's energy rate per Kilowatt hour.
The fireplace's surround and mantelpiece can be a significant factor in the way it appears in your space. Some are designed with intricate designs that add visual interest, while others have a more subtle design that blends in with any style of interior. There is a selection that has an LED inside glow log to create the illusion of a real fireplace without any fuel.
When it comes to fireplaces, there are four types that are available: wood (nice to feel and view but less efficient; emits air pollutants such as particulate matter carbon monoxide, particulate matter and nitrogen dioxide) gas (more efficient in energy use, but still produces carbon monoxide; burns synthetic or natural logs); and electric (uses a coil and fan system that doesn't release dangerous gasses, and is extremely economical and cozy). If you're looking to get the most value of your fireplace pick one that has high BTUs. This will heat your room faster and give an authentic flame effect.
