Refractories

Refractory panels are the brick “sheets” that are located inside your fireplace. They may appear to be real bricks but in reality the inside of the fireplace consists of four refractory panels (2 sides, 1 back and 1 bottom).

Refractory panels refract the heat generated by the fire and send that heat back into the room; although on a very small scale. Their main purpose is to keep the heat from penetrating into the firebox and damaging it.

Replacing your refractory panel will make your fireplace look better, work better, protect the framing behind your fireplace and reduce the chance of fire.
