Instructions to install Natural Stone fireplaces
It is intimidating to install a natural stone tile near fireplaces. It gives an authentic feel to the surrounding environment. A fireplace is a must in western countries where temperature touches minimum level. It acts as a source of heat and adds on to the household decor.
However, stone fireplaces require extreme care. You need to install them carefully. So, follow these instructions while installing stone fireplaces.
1 Measure the dimensions of the installation area. Buy the natural stone tiles from a retailer and bring all the tools, mortar and grout for the installation process.
2 Take of the trim that resides near the perimeter of the fireplace. Use a weather proof barrier and cover the opening of the fireplace with help of a tape.
3 Locate the studs with help of a stud finder. Attach a metal lathe to every stud that you locate. Don’t forget to cover the flooring with a carpet or plastic to prevent its damage.
4 Prepare the mortar in accordance with the instruction on the leaflet. Allow it to stand for few hours. Don’t forget to prepare mixture according to the demand of the mesh screen.
5 Create a spacer with help of the bricks. This space is created between the mantel of the fireplace and the natural stone.
6 Lay the dry stones on the floor to get a rough idea. Remember to create a margin so that you can locate the perimeter of the fireplace.
7 Now, apply the mortar on one side of the natural stone. Place the stone on the installation area and press with your hands. Remove hands once the tile sticks on the wall.
8 You can cut the stones with help of a saw. Do the job carefully or ask a professional to cut the tiles for you.
9 Once the stones have been laid, pour some mortar on the grout cap and fill the joints. Don’t forget to scrap excess mortar between the tiles. Now, leave the surface untouched for 24 hours.
Hence, you should use these tips to install the stone fireplace in your home.
