The hearth

The hearth is the flat piece of furniture which is situated at the base of a fireplace, designed to shield the wall and floor from embers or heat damage. It is usually constructed from non-combustible materials like brick or stone, and is 16 to 18 inches before the firebox. Electric fireplace suites are often without a hearth.

As a general rule, fireplace suites consist of four main components; an inset fire (either gas or electric wall fireplace with mantel (Read the Full Posting)), a surround/mantelpiece, a back panel and the hearth. These components work together to create a focal point that will enhance aesthetics and make your home more inviting. Suites are ideal for anyone who wants to transform their home and give it a fresh new look.

Suites are available in a variety of styles, colours and finishes to suit any style. They also provide a wide range of choices when it comes to kind of fire and effect as well as heating outputs. Traditional fires that are gas-fueled work best in homes with chimneys. However, balanced flue fireplaces are safe to use without chimneys.

Electric fireplace suites can be an excellent option for those who wish to add a focal piece to their living space without having to put in a traditional gas or wood fire. These suites produce their own heat via convection, which draws in cool air, then heats it up before venting out into the room. Contrary to fireplaces that burn wood, these suites don't emit carbon monoxide, which could be harmful if inhaled.

The back panel

A back panel for the fireplace is situated at the back of the fireplace opening. It assists in creating an 'n-shaped' design with the surround, mantelpiece, and inset fire. It is made from a variety of materials that are heat-resistant, including stone and granite.

The back panel is usually included in a fireplace suite which includes a surround, a mantelpiece, and an inset fire appliance. This will help you save time and effort during installation, because the components are designed to work seamlessly.

There are also standalone back panels that can be purchased that are perfect for situations when you are replacing an electric or gas fireplace and want to change the appearance of the existing chimney breast without having to remove it. Back panels are available in various styles and materials so that you can choose the best one for your home.

Back panels aren't just attractive they are also made of heat-resistant materials. This is important because it protects your floors and walls from the effects of a fireplace suite. This is particularly true if you opt for gas or a solid fuel fireplace suite, as they will produce an enormous amount of heat which can be transferred to nearby areas through the wall and ceiling.

A back panel can help you to create a cohesive style for your fireplace especially if you are looking for a modern design.
