Hi everyone out there in tiling land.
Another new tiler trying to make a go of a complete change of career from teaching to tiling! I did a course at NETT with Darren and Tracey and feel confident that with the start they gave me I'm at least in with a chance.
One of my first jobs throws up the following (only a small job I know but could lead to bigger and better things): For an open fire surround do the tiles have to be "special" to withstand the temperatures and does the adhesive need to be different from the usual stuff?
Any answers and advice greatfully recieved.
Cheers
Jim
 
hello jim . welcome to forums...

When you say fire surround i guess you mean just the tiles at the front and not the hearth aswell. If you use bal fast flex and wide joint grout with bal GT1 admix this will suffice for both applications.........
