What is the best way to lay 4 inch quarry tiles in a fireplace hearth?
The existing hearth has 4 inch tiles already, laid with minimal gaps. I need to replace these, as some are cracked and also an odd colour which detracts from the lovely marble fireplace surround.
I've been busy breaking open the fireplace, which had a wood/coal insert, with the rest bricked up. I'm installing a wood burner instead, as all the heat just went up the chimney. So I've opened up the fireplace enough to fit the stove in.
I have lime mortar and plaster ready to neaten up the opening back and side walls, as the remaining bricked up part is pretty messy.
And am going to replace the existing 4 inch tiles, and carry on the tiles into the opening. But wondering what to use to fix and grout the tiles.
