Well done. That looks great. I hope it works very well for you.

[@kirkstinson7316]

Well, right off your wall heat shield is NOT to code. Not in the US or Canada . You need a 1 inch air space between the cement board and the Sheetrock wall. And it needs a 1 inch gap at the bottom so air can flow up behind the cement board

[@akaredcrossbow]

Do you need 1” air space on the sides as well, or can the sides be closed off?

[@trumpking4874]

@@akaredcrossbow no just on the top and bottom. Look up NFTA code 211

[@kaycox5555]

Looks great!

[@dmsteele92831]

By no means am I a pro at tile but when I do wall tile I start at bottom and make sure the 1st row is level and let it sit overnight. After that tile will not slide down wall because you have a firm lower base and if you use spacers and 1st row is level, every row above will be level as well. Very nice looking stove corner though!

[@SSLFamilyDad]

In this case I used wall tile adhesive which prevents sliding and started at top so that whatever odd sized tile was left at the bottom I could cover it with the rock

[@joycemastaw910]

Love the tile. Can't wait to see the finished product. Just in time too, it must be getting chilly there too! Up here, Yooper territory, it's definitely "fireplace" weather.

[@whatsonthemenu3795]

Nice tile job!

Very seldom am I impressed after watching a youtube video, but you got me. Bravo Zulu, young man ! Looks fantastic !!!

[@wolf_r4353]

That is great and cool

[@Vid_Master]

Thanks for the video!! I am working on this same project. Great job on your hearth and mantle :D

[@SeasideReef]

I know this is an older video and is great. Was wondering if you were required to have a 1” air gap behind that firewall?

[@DaybirdAviaries]

I'm really excited about this. I have a wood stove that I want to install in a corner.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Well, wait to see if mine all falls apart and then do something cooler:)

[@itzawrap]

Great scripture verse at the end.

[@CaptainCocktale]

If you have a local a/c or electrical supply warehouse they often have metal cover plates that already have nice color finishes on them like bronze/white/beige etc so that you can find something to compliment the look of your tile. We did this with our outdoor kitchen. We ran wiring for an outlet on the counter but we decided not to install the actual outlet at this time since we are selling our house but still wanted to leave the wiring accessible in the event the new owners want to put an outlet in

[@SSLFamilyDad]

good to know! thanks

[@paulnigel]

LOOKING FOR THE 2ND PART that would include grouting etc??? Really enjoy this as it's a project I'm about to start against a flat wall (i.e not in corner)...so, you didn't have to remove the underlying gypsum board? I have wood panelling I'll definitely remove.

[@davidmohr3935]

just wondering why you didnt install spacers behind the concrete board... in my area its code to do that? As a heat shield barrier so the heat has airspace behind to escape otherwise it will conduct through the tile and concrete board straight to the studs? Just wondering because I am about to do a similar project and would live to avoid doing the airspace gap but it seems like its necessary.

[@jstewart845ss]

Yeah everything I've read said a 1" air gap is required even behind non combustibles. I downloaded the National fire code info. His clearances are far too short.

[@trumpking4874]

Ya this added zero protection. Still a combustible wall. Should have added the spacers for sure.

[@andrewthomsen9952]

​@@jstewart845sshow much space in between the wall and the concrete board does California require? I was wondering which state do you live in?

[@capnjimmy7357]

Looks great. I want to install a wood stove I'm just not sure where to install it.

[@anita83music]

That was amazing. I have a question, Can I put a Kitchen Backsplash to where the Wood Stove is?

[@acanadianineurope814]

Nice job !

[@akaredcrossbow]

So no air space/gap between the cement board and the combustible wall?

[@frrapp2366]

when my folks put in their Franklin stove in the 70s they held the fire board out with a 1by to leave an air gap and mom glued rocks on the board

[@dansdoves3650]

I was thinking the same thing but since I'm not 100% sure I wasn't going to comment on it.......

[@trumpking4874]

Ya it’s code. U must leave at minimum a 1” air gap.

[@andrewsarles3520]

Cooler this weekend! Are you putting a tee outside where the pipe goes up for a cleanout fall?From experience that pipe is going to need cleaned out 3-4 times a winter unless we have an April like last year lol!

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Sure am! I got the duravent through wall kit that comes with the pipe and tee

[@alexdarling7416]

If you have used a special drywall for behind a woodstove, do you still need the Dura rock on it before you do the tiles

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Nice job, I like your level looks like mine 😂😂😂

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Lol, yeah I just got a new one for my birthday thank God!

[@theamerican4609]

Is backer board really necessary?

[@dharmaslife3361]

How thick is your cement board?

[@danschenck9442]

is the tile glue rated for heat..?.. Hows tile holding up with heat from stove?

[@monicabennett8238]

did ur electrical plugs /gang boxes melt? mine started to!

[@GothicMaid]

Can you use ceramic too?

[@GothicMaid]

Do you not need the 1 inch air gap?

[@augustreil]

Great Job, looks sweet. Just wondering why you didn't use adhesive on the backer board and more screws ? Are the studs 16'' or 24'' O.C. ? I was taught that way, that's why I'm asking, of course I could be doing it wrong this whole time !! lol.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

It would not have hurt to put some adhesive on the back of the concrete but in reality I figure you are just gluing to paper on the drywall so probably doesn't add much strength. I hope I used enough screws! lol if it all falls off I'll do a video:)

[@augustreil]

SSLFamilyDad, That's true !

[@ip4265]

Still catching up with old videos. I am confused, why didn't you cut the drywall and remove the outlets and wires prior to installing the tile? This looks awesome! This tile does look so much like your floor boards. So enjoying your channel! Don't really know why, I have a 0.3 acre lot - please don't laugh- no livestock or poultry allowed, no hay or maple syrup either :((( or :)))

[@bgnoggin]

what made you start at the top? Usually would start and to from the bottom up?

[@SSLFamilyDad]

The bottom was covered by a few inches of rock so to prevent having to rip a bunch of tile longways to fit I started at the top and left a gap at the bottom wherever the last tile that would fit ended and covered it with the rock

[@smh4536]

whats that little hand held tool you used to cut the tiles?

[@Supersix231]

Late reply.. They are called oscillating multitools. Invaluable if you do any sort of work like this, or with trim, or are just a handyman around the house.

[@ynotshowme2ur3times]

Well now you put that up and it looks good.........and you want to remove the elecrical boxes. Id recomend not to. Just pull wires out but leave box in ant then cut the back of a electic outlet out enough so it still looks usable but is just a fake and mount it to a faceplate and make it so by the look they look usable but actualy they would be 2 small safes for whatever you want to hide that fits in there.

[@EastMesaUrbanHomestead]

Nice I like your level, looks like mine 😂😂😂

[@olleenwall7267]

What happend here!! Start tile from the top??

[@TheHalusis]

full tiles on top, appearance is my guess

[@mattpierce7688]

I knownthis video os a few years old, but I'm in the process on installing a wood stove as well. I keep reading about a 1 inch gap between the drywall and cent board. You put it directly to your drywall. So idls that 1 inch gap needed?

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Depends on how close the stove is. To be considered a non combustible surface it needs an air gap. Mine was measured from the drywall behind the tile for the distance

[@mattpierce7688]

@@SSLFamilyDad ok cool, thanks for the reply.

[@trumpking4874]

@@SSLFamilyDad there’s no way that proper clearance without that 1” air gap.

[@flatsfisher786]

Hearth dimensions?

[@mathhhgame]

Not bad. But you. Should use mortar cement instead of glue. Glue is not strong to the heat. With mortar you start from bottom. Measuring first of course to have full piece in the top

[@0714will]

So.. I have no experience. Let's Make a Video!! 😆

Porcelain is a ceramic.

Never install tiles from the top to the bottom this is like building a hose from the roof to the foundation

[@litahsr.8226]

was wondering about that why did u even cut a hole on it the first place? 🙄 10:42

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Have to have access to any junction of wires

[@southsidebaynuts]

My advice for DIY'rs NEVER start tiling from the top. Screw a 1x2 ledger at a determined height of the first coarse and begin tiling. This guy must've been fighting gravity. No thinset will lock those tires in place while your setting the tiles below. The more courses you have on the wall the more they want to slide down because of the weight

[@Kmjones12986]

He used mastic and didn't use the correct size trowel either. Mastic is acrylic based not sure if it's combustible or not. I would highly recommend using thinset mortar.

[@bgnoggin]

Always take your plugs out! Cant put the plate on if they are recessed behind the tile. Plugs have ears. those ears should be on top of your tils so the plate works. Hopefully, you didn't lock them in behind the tile.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Not sure what you mean. Those outlets were removed and then replaced with a metal cover.

[@trumpking4874]

U were supposed to have at least a one inch gap between wall and durarock. That’s still not a protected wall.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

It depends on the clearance from your stove.

[@kbkb6569]

Lower has much better products. Also, don't you need an air gap behind that cement board? Not sure this is to code, dude.

[@SSLFamilyDad]

Depends on how close you want the stove. I placed the stove far enough away that it is code to a combustible surface

[@kbkb6569]

@@SSLFamilyDad Got it. Thanks for the reply!

[@trumpking4874]

That stove isn’t even close to far enough away. U may want to read NFPA211
