Ceramic Tile…Day 58

Matt Sletten started working on the ceramic tile for the basement fireplace at the “L” Shaped House this morning. The first photo shows the accent tiles installed on three sides of the gas fireplace with Matt’s temporary support holding everything in place while the thin-set sets up.

The next photo shows the back side of one of the tiles “buttered” with thin-set on the side that goes on the sheetrock…and silicone adhesive on the side that sticks to the metal fireplace trim. The third photo shows Matt as he carefully adjusts the position of the tiles while setting them on the wall.

  

The last photo shows the “other end” of the mudroom after Matt finished up the tile setting last night. Here we can see how Matt ran the tile just above the laminate countertop creating a short tile backsplash at the wall. The mudroom looks great with the all the tile in place and the plumbing fixtures installed.
