Asked before but no sound answer:
How were tiled fireplaces made? (as a production job - not DIY). Were the tiles put in a mould and then the mould filled with concrete? |
Tiled Fireplaces
Do you mean tiled surrounds like ones you screw on over the fireplace with a
hole to the fire? Since the one in our front room had a tile come off it looked like it was just a slab of something tiled. IE the tile looked like any other tile and there was no impression in the underlying materiel shaped like the under side of the tile. I guess that means at least ours was made and tiled afterwards. I'm sure there were many ways to do it though, Why are you interested? Brian -- This newsgroup posting comes to you directly from... The Sofa of Brian Gaff...

Solid concrete and glazed tiles. |

Solid concrete and glazed tiles. When I was an apprentice heating engineer the company also made fireplaces, they were in quite a big way. The shape of the fireplace is laid out on a bench using wood to create a mould. Tiles are placed in the mould, best side down. Mortar is then poured into the mould. The next day the fireplace is lifted off the bench and grouted. Same with the hearth. |
