The hearth

The hearth is a platform that is flat at the base of the fireplace. Its purpose is to protect the floor and walls from heat or embers. It is usually made from non-combustible material like stone or brick and extends 16 to 18 inches prior to the firebox. Electric fireplaces are typically without a hearth.

As a general rule, fireplace suites consist of four main components; an inset fire (either gas or electric fireplaces with mantels), a surround/mantelpiece, a back panel and the hearth. These elements work together to create an area of interest that will enhance the appearance of your home more welcoming. Suites are perfect for anyone who wants to give their interior an updated look and restyle it.

Suites are available in a variety of designs, colors and finishes to suit any style. There are also a variety of options for the type of fire, flame effect and heating output. Traditional fires that are gas-fueled work best in homes with chimneys. However, balanced flue fireplaces can be used safely without chimneys.

freestanding electric fireplace heater with mantel fireplace suites are a great option for those who want to create an accent to their living spaces without the hassle of putting up an old-fashioned wood burner or gas fire. They generate their own heat through a process known as convection. They draw in cool air, then warms it, and then releases it out into the room. Contrary to fireplaces that burn wood, these suites don't emit carbon monoxide, which could be dangerous if breathed in.

The back panel

As the name suggests, the back of your fireplace is at the back of the fireplace's opening. It helps to create an attractive 'n'-shaped design in the mantelpiece, surround and the fire inset. This can be made of a variety of heat-resistant materials, including stone and granite.

The back panel is usually part of a fireplace suite which includes a surround, the mantelpiece, and an inset fire appliance. This will save you time and effort when installing, since the components are designed to fit together seamlessly.

There are also separate back panels that are ideal for replacing the gas or electric fireplace, and upgrading the appearance of a chimney's existing. These back panels are offered in various styles and materials so that you can pick the one that is suitable for your home.

Back panels are not just elegant they are constructed of durable materials. This is important as it shields your walls and floors from the effects of a fireplace suite. This is particularly true when you select gas or a solid fuel fireplace suite as they will produce a significant amount of heat which can be transferred to the surrounding areas via the wall or ceiling.
