FIREPLACE ENCLOSURE USING SILICATE BOARD

SkamoEnclosure Board is used for fireplace construction while simultaneously providing insulation. It creates a lightweight yet rigid structure and is easy to process using traditional carpentry tools. SkamoEnclosure fireplace enclosure board is an excellent insulator against the high temperatures present inside the fireplace enclosure, ensuring a safe temperature level on the outer surface. It is ideally suited for insulating wooden beams, side walls and the wall behind the fireplace.

Exceptional thermal resistance allows SkamoEnclosure Boards to withstand continuous heat cycles up to the maximum operating temperature. Low thermal conductivity ensures maximum insulation across the entire temperature range, making it an ideal product for fireplace enclosures. These fireplace boards are an excellent solution for fireplace construction systems.
