• Use Heat-Resistant Materials – For tiled areas closest to heat, use a high-temperature-rated mortar. Consider a regular thinset only for sections that are further from the heat source.

Maintaining Your Beautiful Fireplace Tiles

• Seal When Needed – Natural fireplace stone tile should be sealed annually to protect against stains and soot. Fireplace ceramic tile and fireplace porcelain tile products are not generally required to be sealed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Fireplace Tile What type of tile is best for a tile fireplace surround?

It just depends on the style and look you want! Any tile that is certified for use in fireplaces will be wonderful. Natural stone provides you with a classic, timeless feel, whereas ceramic and porcelain tiles provide you with personal colors and designs. Glass tiles provide you with that beautiful glazed, shiny appearance that reflects light beautifully.

1. Can I use the same tile for my surround and hearth?

Absolutely! Using matching tiles creates a seamless, sophisticated look. Just ensure that hearth tiles have adequate slip resistance for safety. Most homeowners create subtle variation by using the same tile in different sizes or patterns for each area.

2. Do I need a special mortar for fireplace tile installation?

Yes, areas close to the heat source require heat-resistant thinset mortar that is particularly fire-rated for fireplace use. Thinset can be used in areas that are farther away from direct heat.

3. Can I tile over brick on my existing fireplace?

While tiling over brick is possible if the surface is sound, we would recommend that you consult a professional installer first. Every fireplace is unique, and a professional installer will be able to assess your specific situation, recommend proper preparation methods, and offer safety compliance for your project.

4. How can I clean soot off my fireplace tile?

Clean soot off the fireplace tile using warm water and a mild dish soap and a soft cloth or sponge. For tough soot stains, a paste of baking soda and water works without damaging the tile or grout.
