Can you tile behind a log burner? We answer common queries to help you make the right choices
Briefly

"It can get hot around a log burner - so you need to make sure your new tiles are up to the task. Porcelain tiles are fired to really high temperatures - 1200 degrees - so they're absolutely safe to use around your stove. They're unaffected by heat, unlike ceramic tiles which may crack."
"But don't feel that limits you to one style of tile as porcelain tiles perfectly mimic everything from terracotta and wood to stone. They are also available in a wide range of patterns, giving the homeowner the opportunity to create a setting perfect for their wider room design scheme."
"Don't be tempted to use 'ready mix' tile adhesive. You'll need to use a high-quality cement-based tile adhesive that withstands the conditions around a log burner for long-lasting results."
