Collection: 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 due to the fact it is a natural insulator, so it will efficiently help keep your home warm in the winter. It will absorb the heat put out by a fire, before emitting that heat out slowly back into the room. Natural stone hearths are natural radiators, acting as hot stones and keeping the room warm for a longer period of time. Concrete or porcelain tiled hearths do not have the same effect and are therefore less efficient at heating a room. A cold tile simply doesn't have the same effect as a warm stone.
Alternatives exist, such as Slate Hearths, Granite Hearths or our most popular Black Limestone Hearths which are all natural stone and ideal for use as fireplace hearths, but sandstone hearths are ideal in so many scenarios.
