The hearth
The hearth is the flat piece of furniture that is located at the bottom of a fireplace, designed to protect the wall and floor from embers or heat damage. It is typically constructed of non-combustible materials such as stone or brick and extends 16 to 18 inches before the firebox. Electric fireplaces are usually without 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. These elements work together to create an area of interest that will enhance aesthetics and make your home more inviting. As a result, suites are ideal for anyone who wants to transform their home and give it a new look.
Suites are available in different styles, colours and finishes that will fit into any style. They also offer a wide variety of options when it comes to kind of fire and effect and heating outputs. Conventional gas-fueled fires are the perfect choice for homes with chimneys, and balanced flue fires are a different option that can be used in homes without chimneys.
Electric fireplace suites are a great alternative for those looking to create a focal point to their living spaces without the hassle of putting up a traditional wood burner or gas fire. They generate their own heat through convection which draws in cool air and heats it up before venting it out into the room. In contrast to wood-burning fireplaces suites do not release carbon monoxide, which can be dangerous if breathed in.
The back panel
A back panel for the fireplace is situated at the back of the fireplace opening. It helps to create an 'N-shaped' design by combining the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire. This can be made from various materials that are resistant to heat, such as slate, granite and stone.
The back panel is usually included in a fireplace suite which includes a surround, a mantelpiece, and an inset fire appliance. This will save you time and effort when installing, as the components are designed to work seamlessly.
