The Ready-to-Fit T-Shape Hearth is a two-piece Brazilian black riven slate hearth for a wood burner or stove: a 1200 × 380 × 20mm front with polished, chamfered edges and a 900 × 450 × 20mm back, cut from the same slab so the grain matches. £249 including VAT and pallet delivery to England and Wales, or collect free from Milton Keynes.
What you get
- Front: 1200 × 380 × 20mm. The long front edge and both ends are polished with a 2mm chamfer.
- Back: 900 × 450 × 20mm, machine-sawn on all four sides for a tight fit against the front and the fireplace.
- Overall: 1200 mm wide and 830 mm deep when laid as a T.
- Book-matched: both pieces are cut one after the other from a single slab.
- Delivery: kerbside pallet delivery to England and Wales is included. Scotland, Northern Ireland and the islands by quote on 01908 46 46 56.
Sealed or unsealed
Unsealed, the slate is a raw graphite grey; your fitter can oil or seal it on site. Choose Sealed, ready to fit for £30 for the whole set, half our usual £60 for two slabs: we deep-clean the slate and apply two coats of Stovax Dressing Oil, which deepens it to a darker, richer black. Sealed sets come with photos of your actual set before it leaves us.
