How to Prep a Fireplace for New Tile | House One 

Totally worth it.Warms up my room 17'x14' doors facing the back yard gets cold very quickly.This fireplace made a big differenceTotally worth it.

People watching this video should know that these materials won't conform to code for most fireplaces. You cannot have wood framing abutting your fireplace. Drywall (even fire-rate drywall) is considered combustible. It slows fire, doesn't stop it. Clearances vary for each fireplace (gas, vs. electric vs. wood). Do your homework and don't burn your house down.

When putting in new dry wall around the fire place was it flush with the fireplace frame? Does that mean when you install tile, the tile will be slightly above the fireplace frame?

Gonna give Tommy a run for his money. Lol great job Jen. 👊🏽

good job. Thanks

Is tile over tile a bad idea?

Hello, under the tile in the floor, is it wood?

How did you get the mortar off of the black metal fireplace?

You should have 2 inches of cement board extended about 2 feet for the extended hearth. This will get you an R 1.0. Tiles alone without an R 1.0 do not meet most code.

Cool

You gave me and idea for my hearth the old terracotta tile is cracked and ugly I’m gonna have to bust it up I’m gonna have to find that tile board and figure out what thick ness I’m gonna white wash the fireplace but it a non operating fireplace so totally just sprucing it up I just didn’t know how to fix the hearth now I got an idea

hey what if there's brick? any dope could do it like this.

Why “update” a perfectly good fireplace mantle? I think it’s looking worse already and it’s being shoddily done.

3:07 What did you mean when you said, "...a shop vac and a bucket of water and a sponge can help minimize the dust"?

You didn’t use thinset underneath the backer board.

What’s the combustible clearance for prefabricated fireplace?

Ok but this music is out of control

She’s not This Old House. I feel cheated.
