Hi, I've got a 5kW wood burner in my lounge and I'm gonna put some brick slips on the inside of the fireplace. As its only a small area and I'm using "rustic" slips, I'm gonna do it myself. My questions are: Do I need any special heat resistant adhesive? For the grouting, can I just use mortar? It is there a special mortar looking grout I have to use? Thanks.
Can get quite toasty behind a woodburner, I would use KOS Fire Cement, it's resistant to temperatures up to 1250˚C, can also use it for pointing. Everbuild also does XL FIRE CEMENT, not sure what the difference is though. http://www.everbuild.co.uk/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=593 http://www.everbuild.co.uk/kos-fire-cement-buff
Dr P - this post is quite old now, but in case you see this message - did your brick slips crack? I'm having a wood burning stove fitted in front of a flat brick + plastered exterior cavity wall so the flue will be going through the wall. I was wondering do I still need a heat resistant board behind the burner if I'm going to put brick slips on the whole wall like this; https://roomstyler.com/rooms/23024291/kitchen and if so, should I attempt to sink the board into the plaster, or raise the wall beside the board so that I have a flat surface to work on with the slips? Thanks!
