Fire Boards
Vitcas Fire board - High Temperature Fire-Resistant Board
Vitcas Fire boards are engineered for use in high-temperature construction and heating systems, offering excellent fire resistance, thermal insulation and mechanical strength. Commonly used in new builds or installations where no chimney breast exists-such as cassette stoves-these high-performance, fire-resistant boards are suitable for both structural and finishing applications.
Fire boards offer high-temperature resistance up to 1100°C / 2010°F and maintain mechanical stability even under prolonged thermal exposure. Their formulation supports sustainable construction, with no threat to indoor air quality or the natural environment. These fireboards are lightweight and easy to install. They can be cut, drilled and shaped using conventional woodworking tools, making them highly adaptable on-site and ideal for fast, clean installation.
