Brick Paver Woodstove Hearth

- When the budget is getting blown, turn to materials you already have. That's the goal with this project as the budget for the tiny house is getting a bit high. Since I already had a big pile of walkway paver bricks floating around, I decided I make good use of them and create a hearth pad for the tiny house woodstove. With some head-scratching and block fitting, I managed to turned a huge pile of nothing into something decent looking (atleast I think so). Check out how I made a floating hearth without the need for additional mortar or any other thinset material. There's one trick to this install and so be sure to check out the way I attached the perimeter boards to give the finished hearth pad a clean look. I hope you all enjoy and see you next time!
Another great example of using what you got and it turned out great Sandy! Awesome job! Yes a little sand between the blocks sounds 💯👍. Nice job with the finishing board using pocket holes! Andrew from NB :)
I like the pattern you chose. I laid mine all in the same direction, very plain. But you've got your camera strapped to your head! Great idea! You really should have had cement board underneath tho, to protect against embers falling between the bricks. You could probably go in and grout now, to seal it up.
great video brother, i love the flesh mallet!! i think that's why my hands hurt so bad at 62!!
Haha
This is very nicely done I love the idea and which if you ever want to switch it out or something goes on you got to take it apart you can. As far as for a tiny house or a regular home I love it great job man Mama Z on Dad's profile
Thanks for that Michael
That was awesome man. Helps me tremendously.
Great little build you got there 👍
Thanks Benny
That looks great, love the gray colors. Nice job!
Thanks Sue!
Don't know where you live but code here says you need sheet metal under those bricks if your just using sand between them
That’s what I was going to ask. I’m looking at using pavers for my hearth too but because there is suppose to be a certain thickness depending on code and such I was wondering if still need to put down metal or backer board 1st. Then I was figuring out if I could just put sand in the cracks and seal like I would outside pavers or what since code says all cracks need filled so embers can’t fall through 🤔🤷🏼♀️ anyhow, I still enjoyed the video!
Kirk that’s not what NFPA211 says. U can put them on concrete board or over tile etc
Ty for this video!!!!
thank you
This is exactly what I'm wanting to do in our living room over our oak floor. I'm thinkin I'll put backer board under my brick and fill the cracks with paver sand about 3/4 the way up and finish it up with grout. My stoves legs are 8" high and the bottom of the stove has fire brick in it. I hope it's enough to never cause heat problems with the floor.
Sounds like that would do the trick for ya! Working well so far for me
Finished my hearth at midnight last night,lol.4ft x 4ft pad with dock screwed to the oak floor with mortared bricks over that. I did use your idea of the wood frame with pocket screws. I added some liquid nails under the wood frame. Everything turned out rock solid and all I've got left to do is a little grouting and set our Fisher grandpa bear stove in place. It's almost 2 1/2" thick so I think itll do fine,and it looks great. I appreciate your inspiration and making this video for us.
Dock should of been durock/hardy backer
The grandpa bear has 7" legs and with the stove pipe thermometer reading around 350-400 degrees the bricks under the stove are still cool enough my cats will lay on them to nap. I'd had a chimney contractors lecture me about the dangers of not using a certified stove board. He said the brick would conduct to much heat and could cause a fire. In truth they stay no more than 80 degrees even with the stove running at 400 degrees. This has been a great and affordable solution that provides old world charm and ambiance. Thanks for being a big part of the inspiration.
Ty you guys for commenting and sharing !! Did not realize
I have a question for you about ,how did you insulate the ceiling in the tinny house.Was it 2x4 or 2x6 rafters . Did you put any of those fresh air venting spacers before the insulation ,or just insulation then plastic.I am not sure how to do that .
great job im doing the same thing, but gonna put cement board down first then glue pavers on it. Gonna make cement board 1short all around so flooring slides under pavers ,, also gonna use black Adhesive to adhere them to the cement board, then sand
Sounds like a good plan Andrew
Love the idea.... any updates? Did it work well for you? Thinking of doing the same.
Cool video and hearth! Are you going to put anything flame-resistant or heat-reflecting on the wall behind the stove? I'm excited to see what comes next.
dper1112 thanks for watching! Yeah I’m going to put metal on the walls after I install the wood on the walls. I’m probably headed out to the sawmill today to cut more wood actually
@@sawingwithsandy hope u didn’t forget to leave a 1” gap between metal and wood
Genius
That would not pass an inspection.If the mortar started breaking it could allow hot embers from the stove to fall through the cracks between bricks and ignite the floor below.Brick (and stone) are excellent conductors of heat too,not insulators.Be safe
Sheath the wall first.
So you installed the hearth before you installed the walls?
That’s true
I nornally wouldn’t do this but the timing to install the hearth worked out easier if I did it first
@@sawingwithsandy Love the idea so much we're copying it!
This looks good, but I think you might have made it a little difficult on yourself for the pieces that you cut at an angle. I guess pipe connection and a fire is coming soon.
Yeah the fire is a nice addition for the winter weather out there
