So my question is: Does rendering crack under heat stress from a fireplace? It isn't an open fireplace anymore, when we bought the house the previous owners had installed a coonara conversion, and while we plan to keep that in there, I just hate how it looks with the bricks. I want to render the bricks and paint it a grey colour to try and make the coonara "disappear" but I am afraid that the heat (although not direct flame) will damage it. Has anyone done this successfully? and if it's a no go, any ideas about what else I could do? Paul Hi all, My first post, we are building a house and can’t decide the layout of the lounge room. We have a large N/W facing window and are wanting to have a wood slow… 0 11135 No the fireplace doesn’t work. It’s been enclosed. I’m not sure what was removed, as it was done quite some time ago - well before what I can see with photos online… 2 9119 I would probably render it and then paint it as per your other advice, or gyrpock over the top. 1 925 |
