I got an open gas fireplace converted to an open fire. It has a marble hearth, and has a 1mm split down the middle already to allow for expansion.
I was planning on only using logs and turf in it, as advised by the installer, so that it doesnt get so hot that it cracks the hearth, but ended up putting some coal in it anyway and I have now noticed a crack.
What shoudl I do to minimise the damage here?
Its not noticible really, its a hairline crack, but I dont want it to get any worse.
Any thoughts?
