A fireplace is more than a heat source; it is the visual and emotional heart of a home. The CINDER collection by Slabs By Design is engineered to provide,that flame with a worthy foundation. Characterised by clean lines and substantial mass, our hearths elevate standard heating units into bespoke architectural features.

Your Vision, Your Way: Standard or Bespoke

At SLABS BYDESIGN / SET IN STEEL, we believe every fireplace deserves a foundation that matches its craftsmanship. To help you achieve the perfect look for your home, we offer two distinct pathways to the perfect hearth.

1. The Standard Range: EMBER & SPARK

For those seeking a seamless, high-end solution without the design lead times, our Standard Range features two of our most iconic silhouettes. These hearths are engineered in set sizes to accommodate the most popular freestanding fireplace models.

The EMBER Hearth: Our signature U-shaped design. Bold, structural, and featuring wood storage space underneath, it provides a substantial architectural presence.

The SPARK Hearth: A minimalist plinth-style hearth. It offers a clean, solid “block” aesthetic that allows your fireplace to take centre stage. Select from the distinguished platform design or a simple thin line floor panel

Why choose Standard?

Ready-to-Order: Streamlined production means faster delivery.

Proven Design: Expertly proportioned for a balanced, professional look.

Simplified Quoting: Fixed pricing for easier project budgeting.

2. Custom Designs: Unlimited Architectural Freedom

If your space requires a specific footprint, a unique curve, or a multi-functional Hearth, our custom design service is for you. Whether it’s an expansive wall to-wall installation, a floating “wave” bench, or a hearth integrated with TV cabinetry, we work with you to create a one-off masterpiece.

The Custom Advantage:

Precision Fit: Tailored specifically to your room’s dimensions and fireplace requirements.
Exclusive Finishes: Access to a wider palette of GFRC / ECC / TERRAZZO concrete tones and custom surface textures.
Collaborative Design: Work directly with our makers to refine every radius, edge, and detail.

Which is right for you?

Standard is perfect for traditional freestanding setups where you want a premium, high-performance finish with minimal fuss. Custom is for the homeowner or architect looking to push the boundaries and create a functional piece of art that is unique to their property
