What is the raised area around a large jacuzzi called?

I need two words to describe areas in the house (we are selling and need to advertise). One-the area in front of a fireplace on the floor (not the hearth). The carpet was burned by embers, so I replaced that portion with stone tiles. Is there a special name for the floor in front of a fireplace?

And the second- we have a large 2-person jacuzzi tub. The tub is not sunken, but surrounding it is a raised area (raised to the level of the top of the tub), tiled in shiny indigo. It a place to sit while drying off, or sit and talk to someone in the tub...it makes the tub look sunken, since this raised area is about 3-4 feet out from the tub. Is there a special name for this raised and tiled area?

Thank you so much if you can help- Besides the points, I'll be more than happy to answer any question you have on medical or scientific matters!

    Maybe this site will help you...I would have said the hearth but you said it is not that area. Try this

    Try the "facing" or "radiant firebox." Looked at a few terms on a website and that's the best I got. Can't remember the website, but you can type in "fireplace terms" in the search box and I'm sure you will find something. As well as with the jacuzzi term.

    This area is typically called your Tub deck or Tub Surround.
