Services
Refractory Mortar Mix
Heat Stop 50 and Plibrico Ultra Demon are phosphate-bonded mortars designed for extreme temperature applications. These products create durable joints in fireplaces, pizza ovens, and industrial furnaces while maintaining structural integrity at high temperatures. Professionals select specific formulations based on moisture exposure and installation location requirements.
Castable Refractories
Plicast KL 3000 and Hymor 3000 KK are 3000F-rated castables for constructing hearths, forge bases, and oven domes. These materials provide structural stability while resisting thermal shock. Builders use them for custom applications requiring poured installation methods and long-term heat resistance.
Firebrick Supplies
Super Duty and Medium Duty firebricks withstand temperatures from 2000-2700F in boilers, kilns, and pizza ovens. These load-bearing refractory units provide primary protection against flames and radiant heat. Users select brick types based on specific project requirements for thermal cycling and physical durability.
Industrial Insulation
INSUL CAST and FiberFrax products provide insulation for ovens, chimneys, and industrial furnaces. These materials reduce heat loss while maintaining structural integrity. Engineers specify insulation type based on maximum temperature exposure and required compressive strength for each application.
Custom Fabrication
Custom refractory shapes are fabricated to repair Cleaver-Brooks boilers and specialized equipment. This service provides exact replacements for damaged components. Clients receive made-to-order parts that match original specifications for critical high-temperature systems.
Questions
Which refractory mortar should I use for a pizza oven?
Choose Heat Stop 50 for exterior installations or Plibrico Ultra Demon for indoor pizza ovens based on temperature requirements.
Do you ship to Canada?
We ship to US border towns for Canadian customers; contact us for delivery options across North America.
What is the maximum temperature for Plicast KL 3000?
This castable withstands continuous use at 3000°F, making it suitable for forge bases and oven domes.
Can I install firebrick without refractory mortar?
We recommend using specified mortars for structural integrity and thermal shock resistance in high-temperature applications.
How do I repair a cracked chimney?
Use Plistix SR-68 for patching and ChimneySaver sealant for restoration projects requiring chemical resistance.
What insulation options exist for pizza oven domes?
Select INSUL CAST Delta Crete for backup insulation or FiberFrax DuraBlanket for lightweight thermal barriers.
