    i put down slate as a finish for the hearth for a fire place, now my query is

    what can i use to fill the gaps between the slates though will withstand heat???

    has anybody done this??? would grout be good enough for the job :confused:
    the fire place will not be in use as i have it blocked up at present....
    im also going to do another fire place in the house using the same slate, this will have a stove sitting on it an not an open fire place like the other one...

    cheers ;)

    If not in use then use grout. If its going to be used then maybe fire cement might be an idea.

    I imagine yea could use grout. Like black grout. Maybe fill in big gaps with morthar then a skim of grout. The heat from stove wudnt cause grout any harm. Ser look how many stoves have tile backrounds.
