Tile adhesive for tiling hearth

[janieJones123]

I am getting a multi fuel stove installed and will be retiling the hearth. I was wondering, are most standard tile adhesives heat resistent enough for the temperatures of a 5kw stove? Possibly non-cement based ones? Or should I get a specific heat resistent adhesive?

I found this at a local merchants, which is obviously heat resistent;
Vitcas HRTA Heat Resistant Tile Adhesive
Has anyone any experience with the Larsen brand?

It'll only be the hearth tiled (including underneath the stove), not the back and sides of the chamber. Tiles are porcelain.

Hi, sorry for late reply. Save your money, no need to buy the adhesive you mentioned. Go to your tile merchants and get a bag of single part flexible adhesive, either rapid or slow setting, up to you. Im a tile contractor and i have a wood burner in my house and the hearth never gets so hot that anything untoward is going to happen! Trust me.

Temperature under and in front of stoves vary considerably which is why manufactures specify in installation manual what type of hearth their stove can sit on.
I know little at what temperature a particular tile adhesive will be affected at but making op aware that not all WB are the same.

Maybe consider a stone hearth?
