🖤 Rich Natural Slate Finish

Black slate is a popular choice for fireplace hearths thanks to its deep colouring and naturally textured surface. Unlike completely uniform manufactured finishes, natural slate has its own subtle variations in tone and texture, giving each piece an individual character.

The dark finish provides an attractive contrast against lighter fireplace surrounds, walls and flooring, while also pairing naturally with darker and more contemporary interiors.

The clean cut design gives the hearth a neat, refined appearance while allowing the natural character of the slate to remain visible.

✨ A Stylish Foundation for Your Fireplace

This 48 inch slate hearth set includes a generous front hearth measuring 1220mm x 380mm and a coordinating back hearth measuring 890mm x 410mm.

Together, the two pieces provide a balanced foundation for your fireplace and help create a cohesive finished appearance. The 30mm thickness gives the stone a substantial presence, making it a natural choice for customers looking to achieve a quality fireplace finish.

The rich black colour can complement traditional timber fireplace surrounds just as easily as modern stone, painted or minimalist designs.
