Fireclay brick is a building material with unique properties that make it suitable for many applications, especially where high temperatures are present. Fireclay brick can withstand temperatures ranging from 1300 to 1750°C. It does not lose its properties or deform under the influence of heat. Fireclay brick has a high heat capacity, which means that it can store large amounts of heat and then slowly release it into the environment. Fireclay brick is a good insulator that prevents heat from escaping quickly from a fireplace or furnace. It is also resistant to sudden temperature changes and chemicals. The chamotte insert offered by Vitcas is also resistant to compression, making it very durable.
