The hearth
The hearth is the flat platform that is located at the bottom of a fireplace, designed to protect the wall and floor from embers or heat damage.

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. They work in conjunction to create a focal point that can enhance the look of any space and make your home feel more welcoming. Suites are great for anyone who wants to give their interior an updated look and restyle it.
Suites are available in various designs, colors and finishes to suit any style. There are also a variety of options for the kind of fire, flame effect and heating output. Gas-fueled fires that are conventional are the best choice for homes with chimneys, and balanced flue fires are a different option that can be used safely in homes without chimneys.
Electric fireplace suites are a great option for those who want to add a focal point to their living spaces without the hassle of putting in traditional wood burners or a gas fire. The suites generate their own heat using a process known as convection. It draws in cool air, warms it and then vents it into the room.
