The hearth

The hearth is the flat platform that sits at the base of a fireplace. It's designed to shield the floor and wall from heat damage or embers.

Most wood and gas fireplaces require a hearth while electric fireplace suites often don't have one.

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 an area of interest that will improve the aesthetics of your home and make your home more welcoming.

The back panel
