I'm skimming a chimney breast for a customer and he also wants the inside recess of the fireplace lined with some form of fireboard ideally (1930s house).
Any advice on methods or specific boards/adhesives to use?
I'm thinking of dot and dabbing some kind of cement board. Am I right in thinking normal dot and dab mix will work and wont be affected by the heat of a roaring fire? I know you would need to use a lot of it and make sure to leave very small air gaps between because of expansion from heat.
Customer not getting a log burner or anything but wants to 'future proof' it in case he does down the years or sells the house in a year or two (so probably won't get put to the test for a long time)
