crispy_wafer Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Saw this picture whist browsing tiles yesterday and loved the idea, so much so, that I'm going to attempt to get a look similar. We already have the inset ready to be installed, but I was undecided on the wall finish till now. I haven't done any homework yet, on how to achieve this, the subject wall at the moment is just plain blockwork. I may just pay someone to do this as me and tile adhesive are a real messy combination, but I'd like to be forearmed with info first so I can understand what's taking place. Will I need to prep the wall first, and should I expect the tiler to use a special type of adhesive to deal with the potential heat from the inset? What sort of costs should I be expecting on a 5*2.4m wall? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProDave Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 The immediate thing that stands out for me, was the tile size was chosen to be exactly 2 tiles fit the height of the stove, and then the stove was set into the wall at exactly the right height to make the top of the stove 4 tiles above the floor. A lot of forward planning before you start anything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
