The hearth
The hearth is a flat platform that is located at the base of the fireplace. Its primary function is to shield the wall and floor from embers or heat.

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 parts operate in tandem to create a focal point that enhances the appearance of any space and make your home feel more inviting. Suites are perfect for those who want to give their interior a new look and revamp it.
Suites are available in a variety of styles, colors and finishes to match any decor. They also provide a broad variety of options for kind of fire and effect as well as heating outputs.

Electric fireplace suites are an excellent option for those looking to add a focal point to their living space without the need to install a traditional gas or wood fire.
