Wood Stove Hearth | Pouring Concrete Indoors

Winter is the perfect time for indoor projects at the cabin. We undertake a task that has been on the back burner for quite some time. After removing the wood stove and tearing down the old hearth, we prep the area and pour our first ever concrete slab.
We appreciate you tagging along for our Alaskan adventure 😀

@susanharrell984 Жыл бұрын

If you want tile, color doesn't matter except for the grout. Since both the tiles you showed have a gloss glaze, they will be easy enough to wipe down but the grout will discolor so using a darker grout would be better. But, as a couple of other people mentioned, using soapstone would be the best if you can source it. It becomes a large area of heat mass, absorbing the heat from the stove and releasing it slowly as the stove cools, like over night or when you are gone. That is why the wood stoves in Iceland, for example, have panels of soapstone right on their wood stoves. Increases the heating efficiency.

If you do this again I would recommend fiber reinforced concrete by Quickcrete. It really helps to prevent cracks and you can get it in a high strength concrete. You are right about trowling too soon. The beed water is reintroduced into the surface and reduces the surface strength by adding to the water cement ratio of the concrete surface. Don't seal too early you need the concrete to cure for a while otherwise you will tarp water inside which might cause cracking when you put the woodstove heat on it. You might want to check out a heat resistant sealer or coating to protect the surface. 45 years in the concrete business.

Eric for future small pours of concrete.... A simple tool to do the vibrating is to get your Sawzall, take the blade out of it, put it on high speed, then pull the trigger. Just run the head along the wood frame. It does a great job of vibrating. You could also get a sander and not put sand paper on it and press that up against the wood. Hope this helps.

Perhaps like someone suggested, use some of the wood for trim on the edge.

You two selected an excellent project to learn about concrete. Good job for your first run. Paying attention to details makes the rest of the work go so much more smoothly. That laser beam leveler is an awesomely valuable tool for DIY'ers, and professional contractors. BTW, I prefer the gray tile. The white seems a bit too bright for a black wood stove background. That is, unless you prefer big contrast. Plus with white I would think you would see more dirt from the wood stove. Unless you prefer cleaning back there more often. Looking forward to watching this project as it proceeds.

@percussionof12 Жыл бұрын

I used to work for a contractor and we did a fair bit of concrete work, and then for half a summer that's all I did. And I would say you guys did pretty well for not having any experience with finished concrete. I think you pretty much did everything right, you chose a high psi mix, you only added enough water to make it workable but not runny, your technique with the mag float and the trowel was probably better than what I could do after a few years of not doing it. And you didn't rush ahead when the concrete was taking its time setting up. That little bit of bleed water that came up probably wasn't enough to really be an issue, especially since you started with a pretty dry mix, but you did the right thing by giving it a bit more time. I don't know much about what might cause that powdering that you got, but I wonder if keeping at it with the finish trowel for a while longer would have prevented it. When my crew did garage and basement floors we had a power trowel that we would run on the concrete until it was rock hard and started to get shiny. Never had any powdering or flaking on those floors that I know of. Anyway, I would try to just rinse it off with a bit of water and maybe a stiff brush before going to all the work of sanding it. If that doesn't work, then you've already done the first step in wet sanding so no harm done.
