HI-
After much research I spoke with my tile guy and determined my hearth extension for my hampton i300 (insert) would be made from Micore 300, durock and slate tile. This gives me my Rvalue etc. We expected our depth to get level with the brick to be 1".
We made an error and only have 3/4" of an inch to work with to get flush to the existing brick.
Micore is in place and durock doesn't fit because it is 1/2 and we only have 1/4 left to become level.
Only option seems to be 1/4" hardibacker to stabilize the top of the micore and bring me level for my tile.
I know this is not ideal but do you think it will be ok since this will be the very edge of the extension?
The current brick goes out 19" so there will be 10" of existing hearth beyond the insert window/ door and then 11" of new extension...
I don't think have any other choice but to go with hardibacker here.
Please tell me this is OK because I do not see any other 1/4" product to use here...
