<\/p>\nMost businesses are still closed or operating at a limited capacity at the moment. If you’re in the same situation, now is the perfect time to find a fireplace for your business, since you’ll be ready once everything opens again \u2013 staying ahead of the game pays off, since you won\u2019t be caught unaware, so start preparing for the future today.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
A fire can boost the value of your business, not to mention adding to the aesthetic and ambiance \u2013 and if you own a pub or a restaurant, you understand how important it is to have the right atmosphere.<\/p>\n
So, take a look at our tips on how to choose the right fire for your business (and be ready for when things re-open).<\/p>\n
We have bioethanol fires<\/a><\/u> at Smart Fire, as well as gas and electric, so figure out which one will suit your business the best. For example, fuel availability and cost will play an important role here \u2013 this means that using electricity may be your best option if it\u2019s cost-effective for your business, while you may want to choose gas if it\u2019s cheaper.<\/p>\n Bio-ethanol fires tend to be environmentally-friendly, so they\u2019re a great solution if green practices are a concern in your business. All of our fires look authentic, so you don\u2019t have to worry about the quality of the flames.<\/p>\n If you have an outdoor space, like a beer garden or a patio, you should probably opt for Bromic heaters<\/a><\/u> or infrared radiant heaters<\/a><\/u>. You may also want to take our commercial patio heaters<\/a><\/u> into account, since they are stylish and especially-designed for the outdoors.<\/p>\n A good fire will provide a central focus for a space, attracting your patrons\u2019 eyes and will help you to decide how the rest of the room should look. So, think about where you want the fire to go and how to maximise its visual appeal. Do you want it in the middle of the space to create a hub where guests can gather? Or do you prefer indoor tabletop fireplaces<\/a><\/u>, which can be added to tables and create a cosy mood?<\/p>\n If your space has already been designed and decorated, you should take its d\u00e9cor and architecture into consideration before choosing a fire, since the surroundings can make a fire feel out of place or right at home. Using the d\u00e9cor as inspiration to find the perfect fire can help you to pick one that doesn’t overpower the space or that looks too small for the room; it can also ensure that your interior design is consistent throughout your business.<\/p>\n Often, a fire dictates the d\u00e9cor of the room, but this isn\u2019t always true. In your commercial space, whether it\u2019s a restaurant or caf\u00e9, it\u2019s likely you already have the interior design down, especially if your business is up and running, just on hold due to the current circumstances.<\/p>\n So, if this is the case, you want to keep the style of your space in mind when choosing a fire. Our products are suitable for a variety of interiors and exteriors, from contemporary to rustic.<\/p>\n Our freestanding electric Vintage model<\/a><\/u> is great for both rustic and minimalist d\u00e9cors, for instance, while the bioethanol Urban EVOPlus<\/a><\/u> would look fantastic in a modern setting.<\/p>\n And, if you\u2019re looking for something versatile, the Bromic Tungsten Portable<\/a><\/u> can be taken anywhere it\u2019s needed, so you can position it in the ways that best suit you. This heater can also be left outside in all types of weather.<\/p>\n To choose the best fire for your commercial space, it\u2019s also important that you understand what all the different terms mean, so we\u2019ve put together a little jargon buster that may be useful when you\u2019re making your decision.<\/p>\n This fuel is an alcohol made by fermentation from carbohydrates, mainly sugars; this includes corn, sugarcane and sweet sorghum. Bioethanol fires work like gas fires and produce a clean flame without the need for vents, flues or chimneys. Their installation is incredibly easy because of this, and so is their maintenance.<\/p>\n Our fires are made from several different materials, from stainless steel and lacquered steel to rusted corten steel and even newspaper sheet covered MDF, or medium-density fireboard. The use of these durable materials ensures your fire lasts for a long time is capable of withstanding Surface finishings refer to the process in which the surface of the fire is changed to achieve a specific property. This can mean anything from improving the aesthetics of a product to modify the texture of its surface.<\/p>\n In the case of our Thales GlammFire model<\/a><\/u>, for example, the black lacquered steel finishing with gold inside is a sophisticated way to alter the appearance of the fire while still ensuring its durability and resistance to corrosion. This means the appearance of the fire will remain just as beautiful as when you first purchased it.<\/p>\n Our electric Vintage model uses a flame effect to simulate real fire through the use of LCD technology. This means you don\u2019t have to worry about purchasing fuel, as you still get beautiful flames to decorate your commercial space.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re interested in an electric model, you need to be aware of its power output, which will help you to know whether it\u2019s cost-efficient for your business. The power consumption of a product, like our Igneous Infrared Heater<\/a><\/u> (which has a power output of 1000W to 3200W), refers to the electrical energy per unit time.<\/p>\n Simply put, it\u2019s the energy the product uses over time \u2013 often an hour, so you\u2019ll see \u2018kW\u2019 everywhere in relation to this term. Typically, because you only pay a few pence per hour, this may be an economical fire for your business, depending on how much you plan on using it.<\/p>\n The tips and information in this article aim to help you make an informed decision when you’re choosing a fire or heater for your business, but you can still enquire via phone and email if you want to ask us any questions on the products we stock.
