IMPORTANT STEPS PRIOR TO TILING
• Mark the centre line (
Picture1
page 21)
• Check that the floor is level.
• Check the body surface. Is it vertical? Be aware that you must compensate for any
irregularities.
• All tiles must be level - vertically and horizontally.
• Adhesive shall be applied on
both tiles and body
with an 8 mm toothed trowel.

• For the best result a joint width of 2–3 mm is recommended. Wooden wedges
recommended.
• Seal with adhesive between tiles and body around the firebox and the soot holes.
• Do not block the air inlet hole/grate for convection heat.
• Corner tiles are fixed to create a shadow line as shown (
Picture 3
page 21).
• Keep to the marked lines while tiling (
Picture 3
page 21).
• Be sure that the rear edge is straight towards the wall. (

page 21)
• Start tiling from the bottom centre and tile towards the sides.
• The tiles are hand-made - there might be some variations in measurements and colours.
