I would like to use these to cover a brick fireplace.

The brick has been painted numerous times. Do we need to prepare the brick before usig this tile?

Hi Deborah,

Unfortunately, you would not be able to use our tiles to place on top of existing brick, especially this pattern. You would need either dry wall or a clean surface to install this 3d pattern.

That previous comment is just completely false... Any tile installer (besides the homeless guy on the corner pretending to be one) will have no problem installing any tile on a brick fireplace.

P.S. This tile is overpriced by at least 100% to 150%.
