Carolina Ceramics began as a firebrick manufacturer in 1939. Today, we are still a leading supplier. All of our firebrick meets ASTM C-1261 specs.
Velour and Smooth
A quality light-duty firebrick recommended
for use in fireboxes of masonry
fireplaces and barbeques.
Velour Split
This is our finest quality split firebrick which is recommended for lining wood burning
stoves and fireplace inserts.
Step 1: After all masonry work is complete, it should be allowed to cure for 40 days before any fire is built.
Step 2: The first four fires should be relatively small in order to assure that all moisture has been removed from the fireplace. After the fourth small fire, the fireplace is ready for a full winter’s normal use.
It is suggested that Step 2 be repeated each fall as spring and summer rains, as well as cleanings, do reintroduce moisture to the fireplace.
Please Note: Manufacturers suggest a chimney cap (metal, masonry or other) be used in conjunction with all masonry fireplaces. And building crews should neverbe allowed to use the fireplace to dispose of rubbish or for heating purposes.
