Sandstone Fireplace Hearths

Sandstone is an excellent choice for a hearth stone. There are several reasons for this, but the key reason sandstone is such a great choice is that it is a natural insulator, which will efficiently help keep your home warm in the winter.

FAQs

Are sandstone hearths safe for wood-burning, multi-fuel and gas stoves?

Yes. Sandstone is naturally fire-safe, so you can use it with wood-burning, multi-fuel or gas stoves—just have your installer keep to the correct gap and thickness.

Do I need to seal a sandstone hearth?

Definitely. A penetrating sealer blocks stains and makes cleaning easier; top it up every 1–2 years. We can pre-seal for you.

How heat-resistant is sandstone?

Sandstone happily tolerates domestic fireplace temperatures without warping or spalling.

Do You Provide Samples Before I Order a Custom Hearth?

Yes, we offer samples before you place a full order. You can order samples through our samples page to get a feel for the material and finish. This allows you to make sure you're happy with the look and texture before committing to your custom hearth.
