Smoked - Corner Angle Glass Hearth - 12mm x 1100mm x 1100mm

Comprehensive Buyers Guide for the Smoked Corner Angle Glass Hearth

When choosing a glass hearth for your home, it is paramount to consider both the aesthetic appeal and the technical specifications that guarantee safety. The Smoked Corner Angle Glass Hearth from National Flues is specifically designed to offer both, providing a beautiful, durable, and compliant solution for protecting your floors and enhancing your stove area.

Quality and Durability

This hearth is manufactured from 12mm tempered glass, which is engineered to withstand the high temperatures associated with wood-burning stoves. Tempered glass is known for its exceptional strength and resistance to impact. The inherent durability ensures that even with daily exposure to heat, the glass maintains its integrity over an extended period. The precisely engineered design meets essential safety standards, including CE marking and UK Building Regulations, making it a reliable choice for any household.

Safety and Compliance

Safety in your home is always a priority, especially when dealing with appliances that generate heat. This glass hearth is fully CE marked, meaning it conforms to rigorous safety standards. Additionally, it meets UK Building Regulations Document J, ensuring that it is fully compliant for use with wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves. The product has been tested and approved by relevant authorities, removing any safety concerns you may have and providing peace of mind.

Innovative Design Features

A hallmark of this product is its unique smoked glass finish. The smoked effect is not only visually appealing but also functional. It conceals minor scuffs, dirt, or ash that may accumulate over time, reducing the need for frequent cleaning. The finely polished C-edge further enhances the overall look, giving the hearth a refined finish that complements a wide range of interior styles. Whether you have a traditional or modern kitchen, this hearth adds an element of sophistication and style to your space.

Perfect Complement to Your Stove Setup

Designed specifically for use with stoves, the hearth's dimensions of 1100mm by 1100mm offer ample protection for your flooring. It is crucial that the hearth extends a minimum of 300mm in front of your stove and 150mm to either side, ensuring comprehensive coverage against heat and potential debris. This installation guideline is essential to maximize safety and protect your home’s structure. In many cases, additional accessories such as custom trim profiles, fire-resistant flooring underlays, or even matching stove enclosures can be used to create a perfectly harmonised look in your living area. If you are considering these enhancements, be sure to explore our range of complementary products.

Installation Guidelines and Tips

Installing the Smoked Corner Angle Glass Hearth is straightforward, yet careful attention to detail is necessary. Always begin by preparing a clean, level surface. Position the hearth so that all installation guidelines are met, with correct overhangs providing the necessary protection. A thin, transparent silicone joint is recommended between the hearth and the floor. This not only prevents the collection of impurities beneath the glass but also provides a subtle finish that does not detract from the hearth’s appearance. If you encounter any challenges during the installation process, our detailed installation manuals and online support are available to assist you.

Addressing Objections and Concerns

Some homeowners may hesitate to invest in a glass hearth due to concerns about fragility or the cost of accessories. However, the benefits of tempered glass far outweigh these concerns. The 12mm thickness guarantees robustness while the smoked finish ensures an elegant appearance that is easy to maintain. Furthermore, the investment is secure as the hearth is fully compliant with building regulations and safety standards. This is particularly important for those opting for HETAS-approved installations. For customers looking to create a fully integrated stove area, additional accessories are available that can enhance both the functionality and aesthetic appeal. These include customised trims and heat shields that complement the hearth’s design. Each accessory is designed to offer additional safety features, streamline the installation process, and reinforce the overall style of your space.
