Hearths & Back Panels
Hearths and back panels form the base and backdrop of a fireplace, helping to protect surrounding surfaces while creating a clean, finished look. Designed to work together, they provide both a practical foundation and a visual frame for your fire.
Whether you’re installing a new fireplace or updating an existing one, choosing the right hearth and back panel helps ensure a balanced, well-proportioned result.
Why Are Hearths & Back Panels Important?
- Heat protection – shields floors and walls from heat exposure
- Clean finish – creates a defined base and backdrop for your fire
- Supports installation – provides a stable surface for your fireplace setup
- Enhances appearance – helps tie together your fire and surround
Materials Available
Our range includes hearths and back panels in a variety of materials, each offering a different look and feel:
- Granite – durable, polished and high contrast

Compatible with Different Fire Types
Hearths and back panels are suitable for use with gas and electric fires, with selected options designed for solid fuel installations where additional thickness and durability are required.
Choosing the Right Size
It’s important to match your hearth and back panel to the size of your fireplace opening and the type of fire you plan to install. Checking dimensions, thickness and required clearances will help ensure a proper fit and a clean overall finish.
