Evening all!
We are having a wood burner installed in our home which is slightly unusual and will be wall mounted. The plasterboard surrounding the wood burner will be removed and replaced with a rated fireboard.
We would like to tile behind the wood burner as i'm told a plaster finish will crack under the heat and we plan to have this tiled all the way to the ceiling and we are considering stone or slate veneer tiles. What are peoples thoughts on these veneer tiles and does anyone have any experience tiling behind a wood burner onto a fireboard? Do we need our tiler to use heat resistant tile adhesive and grout? Our tiler has done work for us before and he is excellent, but i always like to go into something with a little knowledge.
Below is the model wood burner we are fitting.
