The one surface in the room that meets fire.
A hearth and surround has to take direct heat without discolouring or cracking.
Heat
Specify granite at the firebox.
Natural granite takes direct radiant heat without discolouring, which is why we specify it closest to the opening. Engineered surfaces belong on the outer surround and hearth, away from sustained direct heat.

The chimney breast
Carry the stone to the ceiling.
A full-height chimney breast in one slab turns the fireplace into the room's anchor. The same material as the hearth, running unbroken from floor to ceiling.
