The back panel The name suggests that a fireplace back panel sits at the back of your fireplace's opening and helps to create an elegant 'n' shape alongside the surround, mantelpiece and inset fire. This can be made of various heat-resistant materials like granite and stone. The back panel is usually part of a fireplace suite which includes a surround, a mantelpiece, and an inset fire appliance.
