In Need Of A Firebox Rebuild Or Upgrade? We’ve Got You Covered!
The firebox of your masonry fireplace, the area that contains the fire itself, shouldn’t be made of traditional brick. Instead, it should be made of firebrick, which is a type of brick specifically designed to handle the higher temperatures and byproducts that this area of the fireplace is exposed to during the combustion process.
Unfortunately, many fireboxes are improperly constructed of poor materials, making them ineffective at containing heat and sparks. A firebox constructed of poor materials will allow heat to transfer to nearby combustibles and walls, and can even lead to a rapidly spreading house fire or carbon monoxide poisoning.
But even if your firebox was properly constructed of firebrick, fireboxes can break down – especially if they’re exposed to water – making them unsafe for use. If your firebox needs to be repaired or rebuilt, or if you’d simply like to update it to increase efficiency and safety and give it a whole new look, we can help.
