Ceramic Refractory Bricks
Each BioFire fireplace is built using high quality ceramic refractory bricks . These store the heat for long after the flames are gone and gradually radiate heat to keep your home nice and warm.
A BioFire fireplace weighs anything between 800 and over 2.500kg. The weight very much depends on the amount of ceramic refractory bricks needed to store sufficient energy in order to radiate heat for an extended period of time. While some other fireplaces might have additional weight added to their metal fireboxes in the form of ceramics it is still not possible to provide sufficient radiant heat from a structure weighing in at 250kg.
The patented BioFire refractory brick possesses several unique properties you will not find in any other masonry heater:
High pressure moulded and burned at 1.450° C
The added surface area facilitates long heat retention
The composition allows some moisture from wood to be absorbed
Integrated tongue and groove system ensures perfect adhesion
A BioFire refractory brick will look like new after 10 years of continuous use. Built once to last a lifetime
