Hello there, in this video, "How to Tile a Fireplace - Add Stone Veneer", home renovation brothers Dave and Rich, and Dave's son, Caleb, show you how you can transform your outdated fireplace into a contemporary showpiece.
Kitchens and bathrooms are the top two factors that sell houses.
Did you know that fireplaces are the third most important feature?
Many people value fireplaces and updating yours should greatly increase your property value.
There are different methods for resurfacing your fireplace, depending on your fireplace's current construction. It could be brick, in which case you put a skim coat of mortar on the brick so the new tile can adhere to it.
If you have painted brick, the mortar won't stick to it, so you can attach lathe to it, and then put mortar over that. Or you can use our method.
In our case we built a fireplace housing around a ventless fireplace by attaching cement board to a 2x4 frame. We then applied thinset to the back of the tile and onto the cement board. We made grooves with a trowel, which allows the air to escape as the tile is adhered.
The tile used in this video is a stone veneer. We paid the extra money for mitered corners, which really give the project a pro finished look. These corners are expensive, but in our opinion well worth the money.
You will need a tile saw to cut the tiles.
This is truly an awesome DIY project that almost any homeowner can do. It will transform the room. You will be very proud of you effort every time to walk by your updated fireplace!
Hope this helps!
