Bricks are rated to over 3000°F and ITC coating is rated to 5000°F Special thin cut Bricks are popular as sacrificial forge floor liners. Thin bricks heat up faster, saving fuel and space. The 1 side ITC 100 HT coating heats even faster, with no downside, optimizing efficiency. The bricks are very strong, even when thin. The thin thick bricks are favourites and we get special orders from far and wide. We can also custom cut to suit most needs. (Not to be confused with the much lighter, porous and more fragile 'IFB's or Insulating bricks.') Full-thickness Heavy-Duty Firebricks are 2.5 or 3" thick and weigh up to 8 lbs. They take a lot of energy and time to bring up to forge welding heat, and they also hold heat like a 'heat sink.' Our Dense bricks are selected and tested to ensure optimal flux resistance (used for forge welding & Damascus billets) compared to many identically looking bricks available, making them well-suited as protective forge floor trays. 3 Dimensions offered. 9" Long x 4.5" Wide x 1/2", 7/8", or 1-1/4"Thick (0.5, 0.9 & 1.25") Bricks are sold individually. Dense Firebricks are also available in 2.5", and 3" thickness profiles. Custom Cut Bricks are available on request.
