I have a disused concrete fireplace that I want to brighten up a bit. The house is a victorian terrace. The room is on the first floor. The chimney was blocked off some time ago. The fireplace is concrete and is flush with the floorboards so the previous owner just carpeted over it. We are going to expose the floorboards so the concrete fireplace would look unsightly. I want to tile the fireplace but I want to keep it flush with the floorboards. Can I chip out the concrete and lay tiles on top but flush with the floorboards? If this would not work does anyone have any other ideas?
