HI.
I was wondering if anyone could help us out. I've attached a picture below to help in my description. (Sorry if I don't use the correct terms)
Image 1: This is what I've built so far. I'm going to use a multi fuel stove and I've already had the flue installed.
Image 2: My plan is to construct with the use of fireboard a panelled area which I've highlighted in red in the image. Once that's installed I'm going to tile over the red area and the hearth, which is coloured dark blue. The only area I'm not going to tile is the 2 horizontal panels, just paint them black with heat proof paint. Using board would give me the flat surface to tile over.
Image 3: That’s all the cuts I'm going to need.
So my question is:
Could I use this fireboard if I'm tiling and painting over it?

It's not getting direct heat and it will have tiles/paint over it.
Could I use these tiles for the red and blue area?

The 2 issues I can think of are. Will they discolour, or will they crack due to the heat?
Thanks for any help.
