A common question we get asked by fitters and customers is how to fit the Fireplace Tiles in our casts. It’s very simple to do, so don’t throw away the 2 metal straps that come attached to the fireplaces. They are not excess packaging or spares as we have had people do this.
There are 2 straps. They are just taped up together.
We supply loose tiles that need removing carefully from the box and lining up, as shown in the brochure or on our website.
Please bear in mind sometimes, with the likes of the Jazz Tubeline Tiles, that there are left and right-hand panels, turn the tiles over, then put a few strips of gaffer tape on, and then you can lift them into a single panel.
Attach the straps loosely to the fireplace with the wingnuts and bolts supplied, slide the panels in from the side and then slowly tighten the wingnuts onto the washer to tighten the tiles to the cast.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN, otherwise you will crack the top or bottom tiles. Pack the centre tiles out from behind so they finish flush with the fireplace, check from the front that they all line up, then cement them in place from behind with Dri-Wall adhesive leave them to dry so when they’ve gone off, they are well and truly set in place. There you have it tiles simply attached inside the cast fireplace. If you do need any help or further advice, just contact us.
