The hearth

The hearth is the flat piece of furniture which is situated at the base of a fireplace, designed to shield the floor and walls from heat damage or embers. It is usually constructed from non-combustible material like brick or stone, and is 16 to 18 inches prior to the firebox. Most gas and wood fireplaces require a hearth, while electric fireplace suites often 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. These components work together to create an area of interest that will improve the aesthetics of your home 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 come in a wide selection of styles, finishes and colors to match any style. They also provide a broad variety of choices when it comes to kind of fire and effect as well as heating outputs. Traditional fires that are gas-fueled are ideal for homes with chimneys. However, balanced flue fireplaces can be used without chimneys.

free standing electric fireplace with mantel fireplace suites are a great option for those who want to add an element of interest to their living spaces without the hassle of putting in a traditional wood burner or gas fire. They generate their own heat using the process of convection. They draw in cool air, warms it, and then releases it into the room. Contrary to fireplaces that burn wood, these suites do not emit carbon monoxide that can be harmful if inhaled.

The back panel

A fireplace back panel is located in the back of the fireplace opening. It helps to create an 'n-shaped' design with the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire. This can be made from a number of materials that resist heat, including slate, granite and stone.

Most fireplace suites feature a back panel as part of a complete solution; packaged alongside the mantelpiece, surround and inset fire appliance. This will help you save time and effort during installation, because the components are designed to fit together seamlessly.

There are also separate back panels that are available which are perfect in situations where you are replacing a gas or Electric Fireplace Heater with Mantel fireplace and want to change the appearance of the existing chimney without having to remove it. Back panels are available in a variety of designs and materials, so you can choose the right one for your home.

Back panels aren't just elegant they are constructed of durable materials. This is important as it shields your floors and walls from the effects of the fireplace suite. This is especially true when you choose a gas or solid fuel fireplace suite, because they generate a significant amount of heat that can be transferred to the surrounding areas via the wall and ceiling.
