Fireplace Hearths

In the United Kingdom, fireplace hearths are not just a decorative feature — they are a legal requirement. Building regulations specify that a minimum of 12 inches (300mm) of non-combustible material must be positioned in front of any gas or solid fuel appliance. This requirement protects flooring and furnishings while providing a crucial barrier against stray embers and heat.
