Tiling around solid fuel insert stove

    Hi there,
    We are intending to tile our chimney breast around a solid fuel insert stove to disguise a poor plastering job. The tiles will be flush up against the outside of the stove, but will finish about 8mm proud of it, so we will need to use some sort of tile edging to finish them. The stove is black iron and so far the only black tile edging I can find is plastic, which is obviously not suitable for the heat. Can anyone suggest where I could get black metal tile edging? A tiler had suggested getting a 10mm strip of black wrought iron to make one so again could anyone please suggest where I might get one of these? Or if any other solutions to this problem?
    Thanks

    Why dont you chisel back the old poor plaster and then use the right amount of tile adhesive and tile thickness to come out flush with the stove.;)

    A lump hammer or an SDS drill and a wide head chisel bit and you will have it done in no time at all.


    You can buy various stove frames from Heating Distributors.They cost about 100 euro though.:(

    I have a 2 inch black frame on my Stovax Riva 66 insert stove.

    Thanks paddy for responding. there is already a frame on the stove which the tiles will have to sit flush against not behind. there is not enough depth of plaster there to chip away to make space to fit the tiles behind. it's a scan dsa 12 double sided stove. we built a chimney breast on one side on one side out of fireproof board which looks great but used fireproof plaster on the block wall on the other side which is impossible to get a good finish on. The simplest option to solve this appears to be the black metal tile edging if i can find it?!
