The mosaic needs to stand up to: foot traffic, freezing, and high heat. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.I am making a pottery shard mosaic around an outdoor firepit. Any advice on what materials to use or not use?
You are very, very wise to ask this question! I would strongly suggest you go to a tile store and consult with professionals and also check the building codes.
There are tiles you can buy that are specifically designed to handle high and varied temps. Also, you'll need to be careful with the type of grout you use. Some will be more flammable than others.
I hesitate to offer you specific advice about tiles to use because of liability issues. However, I do suggest that if you want to use pottery shards that you break yourself that you use them for ornamental purposes away from the heat.
I learned this from a neighbor who put himself through college by doing professional tile work.
