Aluminized fire suits offer excellent protection against extreme temperatures and are designed to be breathable. They are also lighter than proximity suits and are utilized in places where employees must be able to move around freely. The proximity suit on the other hand is designed to offer greater protection and is often employed for the firefighting industry and foundries, where workers must be in close proximity of 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 purchasing fire suits. Making investments in durability will lower the cost of long-term maintenance and save money by not having to purchase the same garment until the time it is worn out five to ten years, which is the ideal timeframe. It's also essential to consider how well the garment is capable of enduring industrial washing as this is a key factor in maintaining the safety standards and overall longevity.

Aluminized Fire Suits

Aluminized firesuits are designed to shield against heat radiation, molten metal splashes and other radiant loads. The outer layer is treated with aluminum. They are commonly employed in areas where workers are exposed to direct heat and extreme temperatures.
