The hearth
The hearth is a flat platform that is located at the base of the fireplace. Its function is to shield the floor and wall from heat or embers. It is usually constructed of non-combustible materials like brick or stone, and it extends between 16 and 18 inches in front of the fireplace. The majority of gas and wood fireplaces require a hearth while electric fireplace suites often 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. They work in conjunction to create a focal point that enhances the appearance of any room and make your home feel more welcoming. Suites are the ideal choice for those seeking to update their interior and give it a brand new look.
Suites come in a wide range of finishes, styles and colors to match any decor. They also provide a wide range of options when it comes to type of fire and flame effect, as well as heating outputs. Gas-fuelled conventional fires work best in homes with chimneys, while balanced flue fireplaces can be used safely without chimneys.
Electric fireplace suites are an excellent alternative for those looking to create an accent to their living spaces without the hassle of installing traditional wood burners or a gas fire. The suites generate their own heat by using the process of convection. They draw cold air, warms it and then ejects it out into the room. Contrary to fireplaces that burn wood, these suites do not emit carbon monoxide, which can be harmful if inhaled.
The back panel
The name suggests that the fireplace back panel is located at the rear of your fireplace's opening and helps create a neat 'n' shape with the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire. It is made of various heat-resistant materials including slate, granite and stone.
The back panel is typically part of a fireplace suite that includes a surround, the mantelpiece, and an inset fire appliance. This is an excellent way to cut down on time and effort during installation as the components have been designed to be a seamless fit, both structurally and aesthetically.
There are also separate back panels that can be purchased that are perfect in situations where you are replacing an electric or gas fireplace and wish to improve the appearance of the current chimney breast without removing it. Back panels are available in a variety of styles and materials so you can choose the best one for your home.
Back panels are not just elegant they are constructed of durable materials. This is important because it shields your walls and floors from the effects of a fireplace suite.
