Hi
I was wondering if anyone knows or experienced thermal expansion horizontally in their WFO. I am at the stage of laying the floor of the oven with fire bricks, and trying to plan ahead for when I finish the hearth and stand. I was hoping to use ceramic tiles surrounding the oven but I am concerned that if the oven expands this may crack the tiles. What is the normal method to finish the hearth above the vermiculite surrounding the oven? Any ideas would be appreciated. Also I am trying to work out final width of my 36 inch WFO, and refering to the Pompeii Oven Plans on page 13, 36 inch oven width column, what is the upper wall made of - insulation, finishing plaster etc???
Regards
Dave
