What happens here

Once the GFRC hearth has fully cured (at least 4 days), carefully unscrew and remove the particle board mold pieces. Gently pry the concrete hearth from the base, taking care not to chip or crack the edges. Use a sanding block or fine-grit sandpaper to smooth any sharp edges or minor imperfections on the exposed concrete surfaces. Carefully carry the finished GFRC hearth to the fireplace and set it in position, ensuring it is level and centered. Adhesive or thin-set mortar can be used if permanent attachment is desired. With the mantel and hearth in place, the fireplace makeover is complete.

Goal: This final step involves carefully demolding the cured GFRC hearth, sanding any rough edges, and then setting it into place at the base of the newly plastered fireplace.

Tools and materials

  • Cordless Drill
