Stage 2 - Sand blinding for hearth

The sand blinding will rest on top of the paving slabs. A smooth and level surface will save you time when laying the bricks.

Sand blinding: A level base of sand will form the level floor for the oven. Roughly 25mm /1 inch of sand should suffice. Make sure the sand has a smooth finish because your bricks will not rest properly.



Checking levels: After the sand has has been smoothened out you will have to check that it is almost level. The smallest of a fall towards the door ope is needed to prevent water from lodging in the oven.
