Aluminized fire suits provide excellent protection against extreme temperatures and are designed to be comfortable to breathe. They also have lower weight than proximity suits, and are often used in areas where employees need to move freely. Proximity suits, on the other hand, are made to provide better insulation and are typically employed in firefighting and foundries where workers need to be near to extreme heat sources.

Style

Fire suites can make an impressive focal point in any room, offering both functionality and style. 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 an important consideration when buying fire suits. Making investments in durability will lower the cost of long-term maintenance and save money on repurchasing the garment until it's time to retire, ideally 5-10 years. It's important to also consider the degree to which a garment is able to withstand industrial laundering. This is a key element in maintaining the safety standards and overall durability.
