Collection: Tiles for Fireplaces

Are Ceramic Tiles Safe to Use Around Fireplaces?

Ceramic tiles are an excellent and safe option for fireplaces, as they are non-combustible and designed to withstand intense heat. By acting as a protective barrier between the fire and surrounding materials, they ensure safety while adding a touch of style to your fireplace.

They are available in a variety of different styles: just check out our ample selection of tiles for fireplaces at Portuguese Treasures.

What tiles are best for fireplace use?

The main advantage of ceramic tiles compared with other materials is their ability to dissipate heat effectively without discolouring or cracking over time. They are also less expensive than stone, another highly heat-resistant tile option.

Do Tiles for Fireplaces Require Special Installation Techniques?

Yes, absolutely. To ensure safety and durability, it is essential to pay attention to certain details—particularly the use of heat-resistant adhesives and grouts designed for high-temperature areas, to prevent cracking or loosening over time.

Although many people opt for DIY installation, we strongly recommend hiring a professional to ensure precise placement and proper sealing of the tiles.
