Fire Hearths
Create an elegant feature of your living area with a Lake District fire hearth made from our stunningly unique Westmorland green slate. Your fire hearth will become the showpiece of your room.
Hand-made to your sizes our fire hearths and surrounds are highly durable, resistant to heat and conform with all building regulations.
It will add value to any home and it is guaranteed to last a lifetime. Honister slate hearths are reasonably priced and so it makes a good case to be the best material to use within a fireplace hearth.
Made to Measure
Your slate fire hearth will be made to measure and to your requirements.
We produce our hearths in either a natural/rustic finish or a honed/polished, dependent on the required look and your unique room design. Honister slate hearths are suitable for use around log burners and multi-fuel stoves.
Our most popular shape will be the ‘upside-down-T. Where you have a front and back piece with the joint hardly visible. The rustic finish oozes natural character with a farmhouse cottage feel where the honed finish is easy to keep clean and provides a contemporary modern feel.
Do get in touch with rough idea of sizes, the finish you prefer and we will let you know cost. Lead time tends to be around 4 weeks from day of ordering, but do ask at the time of ordering.
Strength really has nothing to do with a hearth surface. You can have glass, and as long as it’s properly supported underneath, it won’t crack. Rest assured Honister Slate is definitely strong enough for any kind of fire place.
The most common and best hearth material for a wood burning stove is slate. It can withstand high temperatures without cracking or posing a fire hazard.
Testimonials
We are very pleased with the final result especially the Honister hearth as the green sets off the pewter log burner and fits in well with the other colours in the lounge
