The hearth

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

Select a fireplace set-up with an extremely high BTU rating if you want the best results. This will warm the room more quickly and will also provide a more authentic flame effect.
