I have just completed the hearth slab and the vermiculite/cement layer with one minor problem:I was unable to fully complete the vermiculite/cement layer (instead of the five inches , I only have one inch).

Hello! I have a brick fireplace with a raised hearth. No matter what I use, I can't get the hearth to look clean-it looks dusty. Any ideas?

I've got a nice surround but I need some kind of hearth for it to stand on. The surround is quite wide so ideally it should be about 60" wide. Marble would be good but would consider something else.

Crush and Acid Inc., an importer, sponsored a dinner last Sunday, the 14th, at Hearth featuring van Volxem’s Saar wines. Roman Niewodniczanski, van Volxem’s owner, arrived straight off a plane from Zurich to chair the evening. I had little experience with his bottlings, and this was an eye-opener.

I like the 2nd pic down. I don't think wainscotting would add to your room and I cannot envision toile - feels like it'd be too busy with such a large space? Is there any possible way to get the door to swing out? Is that whole new door(s) & frame? Is your problem with #2 that the walkspace is jumbled? If not, why not stick with #2?

Yes, you can use the Forno Bravo board on top of the 1" vermiculite/concrete layer. That will provide even more insulation than many folks are using (you can use the 2" insulation board without any additional insulation under the oven floor).

The extra expense is small compared to the...
