The majority of gas and wood fireplaces require a hearth while electric fireplace suites usually do not require a hearth. 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 centrepiece that will enhance the aesthetics of any space and make your home feel more inviting.

The suites generate their own heat via a process called convection that draws in cool air, then heats it up before venting out into the room. They do not emit carbon monoxide, which is harmful to breathe in.

It can be constructed from several materials that are resistant to heat, such as stone, granite and slate. The back panel is typically included in a fireplace set which includes a surround, a mantelpiece, and an inset fire appliance.
