The hearth

The hearth is a platform that is flat that is located at the base of the fireplace. Its function is to shield the floor and walls from heat or embers. It is typically constructed of non-combustible material like brick or stone, and is 16 to 18 inches in front of the firebox. The majority of gas and wood fireplaces require a hearth, and electric fireplace suites typically do not 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 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 seeking to update their interior and give it a brand new look.

Electric fireplace suites are the ideal option for those looking to add a focal point to their living space without having to put in an actual wood or gas fire. They generate their own heat by convection, which draws in cool air, then heats it up before venting it out into the room. Unlike wood-burning fireplaces, these suites do not release carbon monoxide that can be harmful if inhaled.
