How to lay limestone fireplace hearth?
Here are some tips for laying a fireplace hearth:
Choose a solid surface
The hearth should be laid on a solid surface like laminate or floor boards, but not on carpet. If you have carpet, you can either pull it back or use the hearth as a template to cut it.
Use a wet sand and cement mix
Mix a 6:1 ratio of wet sand and cement, and lay the hearthstones on top. Use a spirit level to make sure the hearth is flat in all directions. Leave a 4-10 mm gap between the stones for pointing/grouting. The width is a personal choice on what you wish to see.
Consider the floor level
When bedding down the hearth, you should consider the finished floor level of the room.
