What type of tile can be used in a fireplace?
1 Answer

The type of tile to use in the fireplace is a matter of choice. Usually, fire-resistant tiles are used if the heat source is not close to the wall surface, then most types of tiles would be safe. However, if the distance is less then porcelain is advised. Porcelain is similar to fire-resistant bricks in that it will absorbg the heat and not transfer it to the surrounding areas. On 1stDibs, you can find a variety of tile options to choose from.
