Original brick fireplace

Before

Building out wood frame to accommodate cement board for stone.

Framing

Frame covered in cement board. Floor prepped for the application of Travertine by installing a layer of Schluter Ditra on top of the subfloor. This acts as a anti-fracture underlayment for the stone.

Boarding

A scratch coat was applied to the inside face and front of firebox to accomodate the direct application of the stone.

Scratch coat

Schluter Ditra installed over subfloor which acts as an anti-fracture underlayment from Travertine stone.

Ditra underlayment

Installing stack stone takes time and patience.
