About how thick will a scratch coat of thinset over bricks end up being
I'm going to tile over 3 sided brick fireplace all the way to the ceiling.
To do this I have to build a frame and mount backer board from about four feet up. I plan on mounting some expanded metal over the brick and then cover with a layer of thinset. About how much thickness can I expect this metal+thinset to add to the brick. Approximately. I'll need to know this so I can build the frame and have the backer board end up flush to thinsetted over brick. pic of what I've got now. http://www.flickr.com/photos/3355976...n/photostream/ Thanks, Craig __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 5156 (20100530) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com |
