A hearth is the floor of a fireplace that is typically made of cement, brick, granite, marble or stone. A hearth extends into a room which adds depth and dimension. It protects the floor in front of a fireplace and is the perfect place to put the essential, nonflammable fireplace accessories.Change the facing material
