What Is a Suite Electric Fireplace?

A suite electric fireplace is an excellent alternative to wood or gas burning fireplace. They don't release carbon monoxide and are safer for families that have children or pets.

The MagikFlame Athena has an eye-catching design with an alpine white mantel. The model is available in widths that range from 84" wide. MagikFlame also offers a corner unit known as the Churchill that can help you save space in your home.

The hearth

Electric fire suites don't require a chimney, flue or even a chimney, unlike traditional fireplace suites. Instead the heater inside creates about 5,000 BTUs of warmth while fans push warm air through your space. This means that you can enjoy the look and feel of a real wood burning fire without the dangers of a fire.

Evolution Fires has a wide assortment of electric suites that can transform a flat wall into a stunning focal point. They include the Be Modern Ravensdale, which is designed to be freestanding and placed against a flat wall with no need for recessing. The set comes with the Banbury Inset Electric Stove, that evokes the appeal of a 'woodburner' and is available in a selection of soft white finish or anthracite that comes with a an affixed back panel and hearth.

Electric fireplace suites are a cost-effective way to give your home modern, clean appearance. These fireplaces are also safe for pets and children since they do not emit fumes or flames. These units are also cool to the touch, preventing any burns. Additionally, they can be removed from a distance if they happen to be knocked over.

Most electric fireplace suites aren't masonry-based, which means they do not have the same authentic appearance as traditional fireplaces. However, they're an choice for homeowners due to their ease of use and convenience installation. A fireplace made of masonry usually requires a lot of work to construct the frame and brick chimney. Electric suites are simpler to set up since they don't require chimneys or venting system.

They are therefore ideal for homes without the space or funds to accommodate gas or wood burning stove. They also work well for use in dining rooms, extensions or conservatories.

The size of the room in which the electric fireplace is to be installed is an important factor to consider. Certain models can only be used in certain types of room, so it's best to take measurements prior to shopping. You could also ask someone from your family or a close friend to help you with the installation. This will ensure everything is done correctly and there aren't any damage during the installation process.

The surround/mantelpiece

Electric fireplace suites are the ideal solution for those who are worried about smoke or sparks, or don't want the hassle of maintaining a real fire. These suites comprise an inset fire, surround/mantelpiece, back panel and hearth - all working together as one complete package. Available in a wide range of sizes and designs there's a style to fit every home.

A wide mantel can be used to display family heirlooms and other things. It can also be used to place a TV on it but be sure to ensure that the fireplace has enough space for your chosen television.

The choice of surround can greatly influence the appearance of an electric fireplace's design. For example, a natural stone finish can complement traditional decor and a rustic wood surround can be a good fit for modern designs. A neutral painted finish also looks fantastic, as does a sleek honed marble surround.

Choose a material that is distinct to add some interest to your mantel. Arbor & Co used textured white tiles with an ebony firebox that was dark and wooden slat walls to make their fireplace feel as if it were an integral part of the room's design. Alternatively, you can use a mantel made of painted wood with a more graphic tile patterned surround for a contemporary feel.

Some electric fireplaces have an integrated mantelpiece. This makes installation a breeze and removes the need to build your own. Some have a simple shelf that's ideal for storing books and other decorative items. A wide shelf is also ideal for displaying the tabletop with vases and other decorations.

Electric fireplace suites are the focal point of any living space, so you should choose a design that matches your furniture and decor. The selection at Fires2U includes a range of styles to suit any taste, from the traditional cast iron Elgin & Hall Pryzm Vardo electric suite with traditional step design and micro marble finish to the more modern Flamerite Aubade and Tennyson LED fireplace suite that can sit in a flat position against any wall.

The fire

Electric fireplaces are not the same as traditional gas or wood-burning fireplaces. They do not use fuel, and they don't require a chimney, flue, or recess. Instead, they employ a combination of LED lights and mirrors to produce what looks like flames burning in the fireplace. The technology used differs among electric units, but it can be very real. Some models allow you to alter the heat output or switch off the flame effects completely. Most electric units also have remote controls or, in the case of "smart" fireplace suites an app that can be controlled using voice commands.

The fire of a suite electric fireplace is usually surrounded by a surround/mantelpiece. This gives the fireplace a distinctive look and creates an illusion of depth in an area. It can be made out of a variety like limestone, stone, micro marble, or painted in different colors like white, black, grey and cream. Some of these surrounds have a hearth and back panel built in, which can complete the look.

Suites are available both wall-mounted and free-standing designs. If you decide to mount your suite on a wall, brackets will be used to secure it to the wall. A lot of these brackets can be adjusted in height to accommodate the space of your wall and will accommodate almost any electric suite. Some of these brackets also come with built-in downlights that can enhance the appearance of your electric fire.

If you are looking for a contemporary flush-mount system that is quick and easy to install, look into the Suncrest Detroit. This modern electric suite has an electric fireplace with a widescreen, with a hefty white outer surround. The Detroit is a low-height unit which means it can be placed beneath the TV without battling with it for attention.

The Elgin and Hall Pryzm Vardo is yet another instance of a suite that is wall-mounted. This suite features a stunning contemporary Chollerton electric fireplace which is stunningly enhanced by the micro marble surround.

The heater


The suite electric fireplace is akin to a wood-burning or gas fireplace, but it functions in a completely different manner. It utilizes a combination of mirrors and LED lights to create a realistic reproduction of flames, with some advanced models using water vapor technology to add authenticity. These are a great alternative to traditional fireplaces whether you want warmth on the cold winter nights or just for ambiance.

In contrast to real-flame fireplaces that require chimney venting and regular maintenance, an electric suite does not. However, it will require connecting to an electrical outlet for power. Most suites have controls, such as knobs or buttons, that allow you to control the output of heat and flame intensity. Certain suites are smart and allow you to manage them via an app or voice command.

You can also pick from a variety of different styles to fit your style from modern to contemporary. The Be Modern Flare Beadnell has a bold design with strong lines, while the Elsie 900 has an incredibly realistic glowing log effect fuel bed. It comes with an Ice White finish. The Flamerite Aubade 48" Electric Fireplace Suite is elegant with a micro marble surround as well as a back panel and hearth. It can be wall mounted or put in a hearth.

Electric fire suites are simple to maintain. They typically do not require as much energy as a real-flame fireplace and the only maintenance required is to clean dust or smudges from the front glass. Some fireplaces come with a fan for circulation of heat, but it is not required in the majority of cases.

Electric suites are becoming more popular because they're less difficult to install than wood or gas units. They don't require a chimney, venting, or a professional installation, and they can be used in rooms up to 1000 square feet. They're ideal for apartment or condo dwellers, or anyone who prefers a more convenient and greener alternative to traditional fireplaces.
