Fireplaces in Dubai villas, from gas and bioethanol units to decorative electric fires, are often the focal point of the living room. We tile surrounds, hearths and full chimney breasts in marble, porcelain slabs or zellige, using heat-resistant adhesives and grout around real fires.
Looks

The whole chimney breast or wall is tiled. Large slabs give a striking look. It suits contemporary villas.
Tiles close to real flames need heat-resistant adhesive and grout. Electric fires produce little heat, so standard materials are fine there.
Gas fireplace servicing and connections remain with licensed gas technicians. We tile around the unit.
For feature walls, see decorative accent walls. For marble, see marble and granite tiles, and for TVs above, TV wall mounting.

Process
Gas, bioethanol and electric fires need different clearances.
Surfaces are cleaned, repaired and primed.
Heat-resistant adhesive is used near the opening.
Grout, edges and hearth front are finished.
Labour for floor tiling starts from AED 45 per square metre and wall tiling from AED 55 per square metre for standard porcelain and ceramic. Large format, mosaic and natural stone cost more because they take longer to set. Prices vary and can change depending on your exact requirements, the materials and access to the property, so the final price is confirmed after we see photos or visit.
Often, yes, if the old tiles are flat, firmly bonded and not hollow. We test them, prime with a bonding primer and use a suitable adhesive. Door heights and floor levels are checked first.
A bathroom usually takes three to five days including waterproofing and curing. A kitchen splashback is often done in a day. Floors depend on the area and tile size.
We measure and survey the surface, agree tiles and layout, prepare and waterproof where needed, set tiles on the right adhesive, grout and seal, then clean up. Most rooms take two to four days including curing time.
