Floors
A hearth is made up of 2 layers: a constructional hearth (base concrete layer) and a
superimposed hearth (top decorative layer). In some circumstances a superimposed
hearth is acceptable on its own. All of our stoves require a constructional hearth
unless
the stoves are
either
on a plinth
or
have a base heat shield fitted.
