Gas fires are a great option for modern homes, since they can be used to control the flame effect and the heat output from the simple control located within the fire.

Aluminized firesuits are made to breathe and provide superior protection from extreme temperatures. They also have a lighter weight than proximity suits and are typically used in environments where employees must move around freely. Proximity suits, on the other hand, are made to provide superior insulation, and are commonly used in firefighting contexts and foundries where employees have to be close to extreme heat sources.

Style

Fire suites make a wonderful focal point for any room. They are functional and fashion. Designed as an entire package, they include all four elements of a fireplace, including the surround/mantelpiece, hearth and back panel sets and fire, and are guaranteed to operate in harmony to create a luxuriously extravagant centre piece.

Durability is a major consideration when buying fire suits. Investing in durability will reduce the cost of long-term maintenance and save money when you repurchase the suit until its lifecycle is over five to ten years, which is the ideal timeframe. It is also important to think about how the garment is in a position to withstand industrial laundering which is a crucial factor in maintaining the safety standards and overall longevity.

Aluminized Fire Suits

Aluminized firesuits are constructed to protect against radiant heat, molten metal splashes and other radiation loads. The outer layer is treated with aluminum. They are often used in workplaces where employees face direct exposure to extreme temperatures.

Proximity Firesuits
