Do you put wood flooring up to fireplace.

I think it would look nice as we just redid the basement bathroom with the same flooring and it came out very nice. Right next to a fireplace there could be some in floor heating wires that stick up from the subfloor and a curved hearth of the fireplace to contend with image 1. Carpet right up to the wall under the fireplace. Mark the underside of the board where the wires hit and put tape on top of the board to show where to make the cut image 2.

It can be at a 10 to 15 degree pitch with the high side of the pitch being next to the hearth. It can get tricky if you re laying hardwood floors around a brick fireplace. Installing hardwood moldings around fireplace hearths has never been an attractive solution for covering up those gaps. Note this was a dedicated gas unit not something that could be converted to wood and was installed in the wall about 18 24 above the floor.

It s a nice finished basement with cream colored carpet but doesn t have much else going for it. Tricky cut on a table saw though. There s a bit more to it but that s the basic process. Unfortunately inexperienced installers will handle it this way either because they do not know of other solutions or don t care to handle it any other way.

Hardwood at fireplace hearths. It is easier to do if it is a new install than cutting into existing flooring. In this video i will show you how to install laminate or vinyl plank up to a fireplace. I m wondering if i can put wood vinyl plank in front of the fireplace 4 x6 area.

There are a few ways to do this and i explain all of them. Use push sticks and featherboards if you are up to trying it. Does anybody have any experience with this. If yours is a more traditional down near the floor thing or could ever be converted to wood i m sure you need a hearth.

Depending on which you choose and its variety of wood your fireplace refacing supplies can range from less than 1. Both paneling and thin wood boards work well to cover the existing fireplace.
