VITCAS HPM-Heatproof Mortar – Air Setting - Cement Ready Mixed - Heat Resistant Mortar for Fire bricks in fireplace, stoves, boilers etc - Indoor Use

Product Information

If you are looking for a durable and long-lasting furnace cement, then you should consider using a high-temperature furnace cement. This type of cement can withstand temperatures up to 3000 degrees Fahrenheit for long periods of time without breaking down or deteriorating. Fire putty is also widely used for sealing against the escape of smoke and flue gases in residential and commercial appliances, such as stoves, chimneys, and central heating systems. How to Use Fire Cement on Flue Pipe? Measure and mark the center points of the left and right wall edges in the area between the lower end of the mantle and above the fireplace opening. Use a chalk line tool, china marker or pencil to create a line, connecting the two points. First, you need to know what types of mortars are on the market so you can select the right one for your particular application. Some commonly used mortars include liftable ceramic fireclay, calcium aluminate cement-based refractory mortar (which is often used in wood-burning stove installations), Portland cement-based cost effective masonry mix (also referred to as Type S), and an insulating ceramic fiber blanket designed specifically for fireplaces. All types of natural and artificial stones including limestone, sandstone, marble, granite and slate.

The choice of aggregate will depend on the type, colour and texture of the stone and may include sand or stone dust. For example, for soft limestones the best aggregate is stone dust produced from the same type of stone as that being fitted and, preferably, with the addition of lime to the mix. Sandstones are best bedded on a sand and cement mix using a suitably coloured sand to match the stone. The coarseness of the aggregate will depend on the texture of the stone being used. For harder limestones and stones that take a polish, such as marbles and granites, it may be more suitable to use an appropriately coloured proprietary adhesive. All surfaces to which Vitcas Heatproof Mortar is to be applied should be clean and free from grease, dust and dirt. Gently place the first mosaic sheet in the center of the first row of tile above the top of the fireplace opening. Allow the area to dry until the mortar achieves its initial cure and the tile becomes solidly bonded.Why you should buy this: If you are looking for a furnace cement that can handle high temperatures and has a long lifespan, then this is the product for you. Gently place the second mosaic sheet on the second row of tile on the bottom of the left and right walls. Allow the area to dry until the mortar achieves its initial cure and the tile becomes solidly bonded. In conclusion – no matter what shape size composition chosen material mix there are several factors such as environmental condition location intended lifespan required completion date predetermined budget constraints etc thus understanding what kinds available properly selected specified even taking into account added design aesthetic features all this usually helps determine superior selection matching requirements outcome desired ultimately allows peace mind protection safety overall satisfaction fulfilled! Understanding Different Types of Mortar and Their Uses Consider more advanced formulas such Type N or Type S mortars if your project calls for superior dampness and weather resistance (defined by ASTM C270). Types N and S formulations employ specialty cements blended with pozzolanic aggregates like air entraining agents, hydrated lime content, or pozzolana ash – all of which add extra plasticity giving it increased workability during application while also providing superior adhesion under changing conditions than their Portland counterparts abovementioned. When in doubt consult with your local builder supply store expert who will help best advise the right choice with consideration to modern day durability specifications set forth by national code systems NSps standards & Regs LSLaRGsand IEEE recommendations*etc etc(*). Each of these products is designed to withstand high temperatures without breaking down or deteriorating. They are also available in both a powder and liquid form, so you can use whichever is easier for you to work with.

For outdoor applications Vitcas Heatproof Screed and Outdoor Oven Cement are suitable alternatives which will withstand the weather. Application: Portland cement is not fire resistant. In fact, it’s one of the most combustible materials used in construction. If you are looking for a material that will resist fire, look for a product with an “A” rating from Underwriters Laboratories (UL). The best way to avoid any potential accidents is to read and follow all of the manufacturer’s instructions that come with the product. Also be sure to have a fire extinguisher nearby in case of an emergency. The use of adhesives to bond stone fireplace surrounds to walls is not recommended as they are not sufficient on their own to provide a guaranteed secure bond throughout the lifetime of the fireplace surround. Where walls have been painted there may be inadequate adhesion between the paint and the surface below. Where bonding to plaster there will always be a risk of the fireplace surround becoming unstable should a failure of the plaster occur. The use of mechanical fixings eliminates these risks.Another way to make concrete fire resistant is to use a higher-quality cement. This will help keep the concrete from melting or crumbling in the heat of a fire.
