The hearth The hearth is the flat platform which is situated at the base of a fireplace. It's designed to protect the floor and walls from heat damage or embers. It is usually made from non-combustible materials like brick or stone, and is 16 to 18 inches in front of the firebox. Most wood and gas fireplaces require a hearth, and electric fireplace suites typically 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 a centerpiece that can enhance the look of any room and make your home feel more welcoming. Suites are the ideal choice for those seeking to update their interior and give it a brand new look. Suites are available in a wide range of finishes, styles and colours to suit any decor.

Electric fireplace suites can be an excellent option for those who want to add a focal piece to their living space without the need to install a traditional gas or wood fire. These suites generate their own heat by using the process of convection. This draws in cool air, warms it and then ejects it out into the room. They do not emit carbon monoxide, which is harmful to inhale. The back panel The name suggests that the fireplace back panel is located in the back of the fireplace's opening. It helps create a neat 'n' shape in the mantelpiece, surround and the inset fire. This can be made of various heat-resistant materials like granite and stone. The majority of fireplace sets come with back panels as part of a complete solution which includes the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire appliance.
