Want to glass tile over a brick fireplace- where do I start?
September 4, 2010
We’re installing our TV over our gas fireplace and we want a more modern look in place of the traditional brick surround. My husband is going to mount our Plasma on the wall and build a larger/sturdier mantle that goes into a shelving unit on the floor to hold our electronic equipment. We want to tile the surround using either glass mosaics or a travertine subway tile. I really want to do the tiling myself and want to surprise my husband by not having to ask for his help. I’d like to leave the brick up and just tile over it…. Not sure if this will work though. Can someone please help me… I can post pictures if necessary.
Thanks!!!!

Apply a tile backer board to the brick facing to give you a smooth surface to apply your tile to. I would use an adhesive backing and anchor with the designated screws at the brick’s mortar joints.
Then apply your tile to the backer board, cure, and then grout and seal.
