Fire surround (Read 1650 times)

JohnD GDPR opt-out	Fire surround Jun 22^nd, 2005, 12:58am I have a marble fire surround to put in - As far as I am aware they should be free standing, held by the wood mantel. However, what mix of mortar do I use to patch the pargetting? Is 1 OPC 1 Lime 3 Sand o.k. ? And do I use the same mix to seal round the opening (fireframe?) Thanks John D

The fire was a gas fire. What do you mean by the pargetting if you're putting in a new fire surround and mantle?
