DELIVERY TIMES - Custom Made Products If you’ve opted to use tiles with a polished finish in your fire surround then do ensure that you seal them if required. The manufacturers instructions will stipulate whether the tiles need sealing or not – tiles with this kind of finish often require such an action so as to prevent them from staining. Whilst most porcelain tiles are impervious to organic matter, those with highly polished surfaces and porous tiles such as those constructed from natural stone like limestone and slate will be susceptible to staining by ash, soot or damage from an errant ember, so please do seal them. We recommend LTP Porcelain Tile Protector for the job. Use Heat Resistant Adhesive & Grout Heat-Resistant Tile Adhesive: This is what you will need when installing fireplace tiles. You need a heat-resistant adhesive because very high heat can easily damage a normal adhesive. Never use organic mastic where there will be high heat. You need a thinset that can handle at least 400 degrees Fahrenheit.

Floor Tile Adhesive: Organic mastics are the most commonly used floor tile adhesive because of the fact that there is no mixing involved and are therefore more convenient. They are usually a little bit cheaper too. However, when it comes to floor tile adhesive thinset adhesives are actually superior and should be the preferred choice. The fact that they have a stronger bond and can handle more weight makes them perfectly suited for floor tiles which obviously will get much more wear than wall tiles. Other Types Of Tile Adhesive Versatile Application: Ideal for use with fire surrounds, behind boilers, ranges, cookers, and radiators. Overall, Vitcas Heat Resistant Tile Adhesive is a reliable and effective solution for bonding tiles in high-temperature areas. Very happy with this adhesive. It worked well with my porcelain tiles and has held up well in high temperatures."Any surplus Heat Resistant Tile Adhesive must be swiftly removed from tile surfaces with a damp cloth to prevent hardening or staining. As with tile surfaces, your grout joints are at risk of becoming stained and discoloured by ash and other detritus associated with open fires, so it’s always a good idea to protect them. Grout joints within natural stone and polished tile installations will be sealed just along with the tiles themselves if you’ve gone down the sealing route, however, you can protect just the grout even those installations that don’t require sealing. We recommend our LTP Grout Protectors for the job. High-Temperature Resistance: Formulated specifically for areas exposed to elevated temperatures, it remains reliable and steadfast where ordinary tile adhesives may falter. Resistant to 1000°C /1830°F

Waterproof Tile Adhesive: This would be used when doing an installation in an area that will frequently be getting wet like in the main bathroom or a kitchen countertop. These will be a thinset but which type depends on the surface you are setting your tile on. You'll need a steady supply of firewood to keep your wood burner roaring. Why not upcycle an old bookcase and place it nearby to not only add to the overall charm of the burner but keep the extra fuel to hand when you need it. For application on fresh cement or plaster surfaces, ensure you also seal that surface with VITCAS PVA for optimal results.

Beyond the size of the individual tiles, note the dimensions of each self-adhesive sheet or piece, which might have anywhere from eight to 50 tiles on it, depending on the scale.

The adhesive is suitable for use with a wide range of materials including ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and mosaics. The farmhouse-look the wooden beam creates helps modern decors blend with the burner while also helping to further accentuate a traditional look. 3. Display your firewood loud and proud It's usually at this stage that people start asking us, " Can I use tiles around my wood burning fire?" and " what to put behind a wood burning stove?".Just take a putty knife, margin trowel, or utility knife and simply scrape off all of the existing adhesive. When replacing tile adhesive remember to use the same exact adhesive that was used originally. Unfortunately, sometimes this isn’t possible, and if that is the case try to use the same type. So if organic mastic was used, use that. If a thinset was used, use a thinset. On Top of Old Tiles:For both dry and wet installations use an epoxy thinset or a latex thinset.
