The hearth
The hearth is a flat, sloping platform at the bottom of the fireplace. Its function is to shield the floor and wall from heat or embers.

Most gas and wood fireplaces require a hearth while electric fireplace suites often don’t have one.

Electric fireplaces are the ideal option for those who want to add a focal piece to their living space without the need to install a traditional gas or wood fire. The suites generate their own heat through a process known as convection. This draws cold air, warms it, and then releases it out into the room.
