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.
