putting a log burner in > what to use as a hearth


Recommended Posts


Just wondering, can i use ceramic floor tiles as a hearth for a log burner? seen some decent ones, quite cheap aswell.

 

if not, then i'll just use sandstone, will need a couple of slab's though, what would i fill the join's in with? cement?

 

cheers

fire cement most diy shops sell it.

cheers,

 

do you know if i can use ceramic floor tiles as a hearth?

 

thanks

would have thought they wouldnt last long as the first time you drop a log or anything heavy on them they would crack, get yourself some nice fancy slabs or slate or even marble

Do not bother with them get some good slabs, have a look at your local builders yard, bed them in with cement and just use cement for the joints...I did that a few years ago and thy are standing up to the test. remember and have a row in front of the fire to save sparks etc. from getting on to the floor.
