Collection: Limestone Hearths

Limestone is a sedimentary rock that is formed from the remains of marine organisms. Black limestone is a type of limestone that has been subjected to high temperatures and pressures, which gives it its dark color. Limestone is a popular choice for hearths because it is a durable and heat-resistant material. Not only is it functionally a very good option. But it also looks fantastic - a fireplace inset that is a deep, jet black looks absolutely amazing when the fire is roaring.

Alternatives exist, such as Slate Hearths, Granite Hearths or even Sandstone Natural Stone Hearths, but keep reading for more about why Black Limestone hearths could be the best option for you.

Black Limestone - Reliable & Beautiful

Black Limestone is an incredibly popular choice for a hearth. In terms of the materials we offer at Primethorpe, this is by far the most popular option. This is partially due to the face that it is the most cost-effective option, but it's also due to the fact the material is consistent, stylish and really reliable.

Black limestone is a good choice for a hearth because it is easy to clean and maintain. Limestone hearths are also good to use for wood burners as they absorb and radiate heat evenly, while being a naturally level surface to sit a wood-burner onto.
