How to Replace a Hearth with Slate Tile
Mark installed 2x8” Slide Grey slate tile, which is manufactured by Roma Tile. www.romatile.com/
To secure the tiles to the sub hearth, Mark used standard tiling materials, including thinset, tile spacers, a notched trowel, grout, and sponges. These can all be found at home centers and tile supply houses.
How to Reface a Fireplace with Granite
Refacing a fireplace surround is a two-person job. Use caution when handling heavy materials.
It’s challenging to match granite, so it makes more sense to order four new pieces rather than just one or two replacement pieces. A local stone fabricator can template the fireplace and cut and round each piece to the appropriate size. In this case, Mark used granite in the color Black Pearl, fabricated by International Stone, Inc.. [www.internatio...]
To adhere the granite to the fireplace, Mark used a concrete construction adhesive manufactured by Quikrete. [www.quikrete.com/]
The other materials Mark used for this job, including the chisel, hammers, and buckets, can all be found at home centers.
Expert assistance with this segment was provided by MJM Masonry. [mjmmasonry.com/]
How to Brick Veneer a Fireplace
Mark installed General Shale French Quarter [generalshale.com/] thin brick as a veneer over the old fireplace. He ordered both flat and corner thin bricks to make sure the fireplace opening looked fully covered. He secured the veneer to the wall using Quikrete Type N mortar. [www.quikrete.com/]
To template the brick placement, Mark used a brick ruler, which can be found at masonry supply stores.
The materials Mark used to install the thin brick, including tuck pointers, trowels, and painter’s tape can all be found at home centers.

I'd take even an ounce of Tommy's skills....dude is so good at his job

Great work, but personally I preferred the natural brick fireplace surround and original hearth to the new granite they installed.

@XzTS-Roostro Год назад

Ever since my mom had her fireplace installed in her custom built home back when it was built in 2003, we never got a chance to properly use it, because of a leak somewhere in the chimney. Rainwater would drip down, more on heavier days. Plus, we still need to get the rest of the gas kit for the fireplace, including the ceramic logs.

@richmargadonna2155 Год назад

How do I do it? My gas fireplace is original to the house approx 25 years. It's in perfect shape and works at the push of a button. I see the later models have a fan that captures heat from the inner walls of the fireplace and sends it into the room which would be great for us because the ceiling is vaulted to about 18 feet, and that's where the heat collects, but most of the heat goes up the chimney. There are places that sell fan kits to blow that heat into the room, but the fireplaces have an inlet grate at the bottom of the fireplace, and a grate at the top of the fireplace where the heat comes out as a result of the fan blowing. My fireplace has a solid metal panel top and bottom with no inlet or outlet openings, but it does have some vertical narrow grates along the side of the fireplace on the left and right sides. I'm handy enough to cut in top and bottom grates in the existing solid metal panels, but my question is, will this work after a universal fan kit is installed?

people, stop putting your TV above the fireplace! (1) it's not comfortable to view, it should be lower (2) the heat will damage and reduce the lifetime of the TV
