The attached photo shows a fireplace with hearth flags, brick slips on the three internal walls and a plaster finish on the front facing chimney wall. The plaster covers the front edges of the brick slips so the these edges are not left exposed.
On a front facing chimney wall which already has a sand and cement finish, in order to achieve what's in the photo, would the order be:
a) hearth flags put down first
b) brick slips put on three internal walls to come out level with sand and cement finish already on front facing chimney wall
c) bonding plaster coat to front facing chimney wall to cover exposed edges of the brick slips
d) finishing plaster coat to cover front facing chimney wall and now covered edges of the brick slips
Is a vertical metal finishing bead used before adding the brick slips and before adding the bonding plaster in order to protect the plaster edges?
