The hearth

The hearth is a platform that is flat at the base of the fireplace. Its primary function is to shield the floor and wall from heat or embers. It is typically constructed of non-combustible materials such as brick or stone, and it extends between 16 and 18 inches in front of the fireplace. Most gas and wood fireplaces require a hearth, and electric fireplace suites typically do not require a hearth.

As a general rule, fireplace suites consist of four main components; an inset fire (either gas or electric), a surround/mantelpiece, a back panel and the hearth. The four components work together to create a centrepiece that enhances the appearance of any space and make your home appear more welcoming. As a result, suites are a great option for anyone who wants to transform their home and give it a brand new look.

These suites produce their own heat via a process called convection which draws in cool air and heats it before venting it out into the room. Unlike wood-burning fireplaces, these suites do not release carbon monoxide, which could be dangerous if breathed in.

The back panel

The name suggests that the fireplace back panel is located at the back of your fireplace's opening and helps to create an elegant 'n' shape alongside the surround, mantelpiece and the fire inset. It is made of a number of materials that are resistant to heat, such as slate, granite, and stone.
