Heat resistant tile DIY surround wood stove
We are remodeling and want this wood stove fix to be included in the remodel. We want to use the "glass tile design" that is so popular in DIY projects to modernize the look.
I am concerned about buying the correct tile and internet searches have not given me any specifications for the ability for the tiles I see pictured on the DIY projects to be heat resistant to the temperatures that I believe the wood stove reaches, possibly up to 600 degrees.
Can you recommend a tile application that would be appropriate for my DIY project. I am open to any option as I want to change from the brick/stone "old" look since I have to remove the bricks to make the doors functional.
Thank you so much for your time and any information you can provide.

Janet Pizaro on Sep 15, 2015My suggestion is to use fireplace bricks. I do not think glass will resist the heat. Fireplaces can go past the 600 degree mark. Try researching fire place brick there are many new styles availableHelpful Reply

Carrie Hawk on Sep 16, 2015I would find out exactly what temperature the outside of the stove gets when fired up. The manufacturer would be able to tell you this. At that point you would be able to determine what you'll need.Helpful Reply
