The tile installed on the floor before a fireplace is known as the "hearth." It serves decorative and functional purposes, offering a non-combustible surface that safeguards the surrounding floor from heat and stray embers. Porcelain and ceramic tiles are ideal for hearth applications due to their stain, heat, and fire resistance. In addition to the floor tile in front of the fireplace, it's customary to tile the surrounding walls. Cladding natural stone and split-face tiles are commonly used for these walls. However, large-format tiles are gaining popularity for a modern aesthetic.
