Refractory Materials

Refractory materials are specially engineered materials that are able to withstand very high temperatures, as well as chemicals, abrasion and wear and tear. They are generally used to line the inside and outside surfaces of furnaces and kilns in industrial settings. In the residential setting, they can be used in the form of fireplaces, wood stoves, pizza ovens, and fire pits or barbeques. They provide insulation, protecting the walls and floors of the hearth from the high temperature. They are designed to minimize heat loss and ensure performance and safety.
