What type of grout should be used for a tiled hearth that has a wood burning stove sat over it?

Question

The stove is mounted on 100mm feet (4 inch) - my concern is whether the heat from the stove will effect the grout.

Answer 1

With all due respect; you needn't worry any more about the grout than the tile or mortar. SANDED in grout lines no larger that 1/4 inch. In your case go 1/8.

The heat transfer shouldn't begin close to a floor anyway; and should be aided in dissipation by the tile.

Hopefully you'll allow adequate dry/set time for both the tile mortar and the grout before placing the stove; or firing it up.

Answer 2

Regular grout should be fine. A darker color such as gray will look best. Then be sure to use a grout sealer after it's dry..
