Fireplace Tiles - FAQ's

What tiles are suitable for a fireplace?

Any material you use around your fireplace surround needs to be durable and be able to withstand high temperatures, and porcelain and ceramic tiles are perfect for this reason. Tiles offer a wider variety of choice when it comes to style, colour, and finish than other commonly used materials, and fireplace floor tiles are also extremely easy to clean compared to other alternatives! See our Tiling your Fireplace Surround blog for plenty of inspiration.
Are porcelain tiles heat resistant?

All porcelain and ceramic tiles are fired at high temperatures in a kiln, making them highly heat resistant, but not heatproof. It is not recommended that tiles are fitted where they will come into contact with naked flames, making them suitable for the hearth and fireplace surround, but not inside the fireplace.
What temperature can tiles withstand?

Ceramic and porcelain tiles can withstand extremely high temperatures and are often used in kitchen splashback behind the hob. However, you should always check the suitability of your chosen tiles with your specific fireplace with your tiling contractor before installation.
What is the best material for a hearth?

The fireplace hearth should be made from a non-combustible material to protect the rest of your floor from intense heat and any debris. Fireplace floor tiles are the perfect choice for the hearth, and the possibilities are endless. Porcelain hearth tiles provide endless design options; for a dramatic effect choose patterned tiles and continue them across your fireplace surround, or for a more traditional look, a marble-effect porcelain always looks beautiful. Our Marmori range comes in a number of gorgeous swirled marble colours.
