When fitting a tiled insert it is quite important you choose the tiles correctly as they are not that simple to change after the fireplace has been installed we carry a good selection of Tiles on our website to compliment the range of fireplaces we sell. They are of a standard size so will fit any original fireplace you have or even a reproduction fireplaces from another company.
They always come in sets of ten and have two panels of five each side depending on which tiles you have ordered some of them are left handed and right handed. Basically this means the flower patterns are slightly different and will point in towards the Cast.
Have a look at this photo it shows Jazz Burgundy Ivory Left Hand Panel

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

See how the top tile the flower points inwards on the right hand panel it would be the opposite way please bear this in mind when fitting them and we always recommend laying them down in the pattern they are to be fitted in.
Unless you are really sure of your colour scheme it’s good to go with something Neutral in Colour with a light Stone background this will then allow you to change room colours without the tiles looking at of place.
Most of all pick a design that you like than see what colour suits what you already have or intend to furnish the room with. Remember the tiles can be changed at a later date but the fireplace would have to be removed to do this but it can be done.
