Slate Hearths & Back Panels
Slate hearths and back panels offer a natural, understated finish for your fireplace, combining durability with a distinctive matt texture. Designed to work together, they create a clean, practical base and backdrop while protecting surrounding surfaces from heat and everyday use.
With its darker tones and lightly textured surface, slate is a popular choice for both traditional and contemporary interiors, providing a more subtle alternative to polished stone finishes.
Why Choose Slate?
- Natural matt finish – low sheen surface with a textured look
- Durable material – well suited to everyday use
- Subtle appearance – less reflective than polished stone
- Versatile styling – works across modern and traditional fireplaces
