Full details
The Acantha Teardrop Hearth is designed for homeowners seeking a sophisticated, stable foundation for their electric or bio-ethanol stoves. Its black marble effect finish provides a neutral, tranquil aesthetic suitable for modern and traditional interiors alike. While it offers excellent durability through its high-quality MFC wood construction, it is important to note that this hearth is specifically engineered for electric and bio-ethanol stoves and is not suitable for wood-burning or multi-fuel fires that generate high levels of direct heat.

FAQs
Can I use this with a real wood-burning stove?
No. This hearth is constructed from high-quality MFC wood and is not rated for the high temperatures associated with solid fuel or wood-burning stoves.
Does the hearth need to be fixed to the floor?
No, the weight of the hearth and the stove is typically sufficient to keep it in place, though you should ensure the surface is level.
How heavy is the hearth?
The hearth is constructed from robust MFC, providing a solid weight that keeps it stable, though it is light enough to be moved or repositioned by one or two people if necessary.
Are there other color options available?
Yes, there is a sibling model available in a white marble effect finish (MPN 11435) if you prefer a lighter aesthetic.
Is the black marble effect finish matte or glossy?
The finish is designed to provide a realistic marble look that reflects light gently while maintaining a sophisticated, semi-sheen appearance.
Troubleshooting
The hearth wobbles on the floor
Ensure the floor beneath the hearth is perfectly level. If the floor is slightly uneven, use thin furniture shims under the edges of the hearth to stabilize it.
Surface marks or fingerprints
Use a dry microfiber cloth to buff out fingerprints. For persistent marks, use a slightly damp cloth with minimal water and wipe dry immediately.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No tools are required. Ensure your floor is level, place the hearth in your desired location, and center your stove on the surface.
Compatibility: This product is strictly for electric and bio-ethanol stoves. Do not use this hearth with traditional wood-burning stoves, gas fires, or multi-fuel appliances as the heat output may damage the MFC material.
Care: To clean, use a soft, damp cloth with a mild soap solution. Avoid using abrasive sponges, scouring pads, or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can scratch or dull the marble-effect laminate. Wipe dry immediately after cleaning to prevent moisture from seeping into the seams.
