|  Advice on tiling a fireplace. | |
Hi chaps!
I need some advice here. I have been to look at a job for a woman and it's tiling a fireplace. Had a search on the forum and couldn't find anything.
I haven't a clue what adhesive or grout to use and how long it should be left without being used etc.
Could do with help asap as I need to quote it quick as I can.
Thanks
Gaz

So I need to use the GT1 admix regardless of what type of fire or adhesive? No Tub mix though?
Ho long must it be left before the fire is used?
Also will I need to hold tiles in place with something on the under side of the fireplace and across the top where there is no support. I assume the adhesive won't hold it?
I asked in Topps about what to use and mentioned GT1 admix and the guy just looked puzzled! Need to make sure I know what I want as I don't think they have a clue.
Thanks guys!

Cheers DH, holding the tiles with tape is great idea cheers!
Just to clarify, does the grout need to be flexible and can i just use normal wall grout?
