Marble tiles over extant red brick tiles on fireplace?


The master removed the white paint from the fireplace than put marble tiles over it and next used grout. When I look at the tiles upward the firebox, I see that there’s a bit of place between the extant red bricks and the marble tile. Is this okay or would there be more adhesive behind the marble tile or would there be grount in it or is it simply fine?

space could actually be GOOD, and more grout could be bad with marble on a fireplace, because this way it can accomodate expansion & contraction better, and distribute heat a little better than if it was solid grout all over behind the marble. If its too solid and rigid behind the marble, at a fireplace especially, the marble could crack up. Leave it that way. :)
