While I still have time...part 2

Continuing on with the tiling for the woodstove platform.

Picture 5 shows the edge tiles after cutting and installing. The duct tape at the top holds them in place until the adhesive sets.


Picture 6 shows the edge tiles after the adhesive has set and all the top tiles have been removed.


Picture 7 shows all the field tiles installed and a few of the cut edge tiles. The ones with 2 pieces of blue tape were installed yesterday and the ones with one piece of tape were installed today.



Hopefully, I can finish the cutting and installation tomorrow. Then early next week I can grout.

Two questions and answers:
1. Won't the stove be too close to the walls? No. I have carefully looked at the requirements and the platform is right.
2. Are you going to put a fire retardant material on the walls, to be up to code? Yes, but that will be later before the wood stove is fired up for the first time.
