Stove Granite & Tiled Hearths & Stove Back Panels

This section is for those customers requiring hearths and backs to accompany their stove and/or fireplace.

 

 The Leeds Stove Centre can supply two basic types of Hearth - the Slabbed Tiled Hearth and the Polished Granite Hearth. All come in a variety of sizes from 36 inch to 60 inches wide and a range of depths to suit any fireplace setting.

 

Slabbed Granite/Basalt Hearths
These are available for use with solid fuel as they are slabbed with a mixture of cement and vermiculte and incorporate expansion slots. This is to meet building regulation requirements as the granite will expand and contract due to the intense heat a solid fuel burner can emit.

 

Polished Granite Hearths
There are generally three types of granite hearths - straight, curved and tongued. All of these hearths are cut from a single slab of granite and polished. Standard Granite hearths are not suitable for use with solid fuels as the intense heat generated may cause cracking - gas fires are the preferred option.

 

Tiled Hearths
These are available for use with solid fuel or gas as they can be slabbed with a mixture of reinforced concrete and vermiculte and incorporate expansion slots. This is to meet building regulation requirements as the material will expand and contract due to the intense heat a solid fuel burner can emit. Available in Granite or Basalt.
