Stainless Steel Versus Refractory Bricks:

An important feature that distinguishes an efficient fireplace is the construction of its combustion chamber. Most fireplaces on the market have an interior completely made of refractory bricks. This, however, can be problematic and can decrease the performance of your fireplace for several reasons. First of all, bricks insulate the combustion chamber, making it more difficult to start a fire and to actually transfer heat in the room. Furthermore, refractory bricks require a lot of maintenance. They have a tendency to crack and frequently need to be replaced. In addition, refractory bricks reduce the opening of the combustion chamber, decreasing the view of the flame.

Fireplaces with a combustion chamber made entirely of stainless steel, such as ours, give a quicker heat transfer. In addition, fireplaces with an interior fabricated of stainless steel will continue to heat for longer periods of time simply with a bed of embers because the firebox remains warm and takes longer to cool. Since there are no refractory bricks, our fireplaces have a very large combustion chamber. Furthermore, they require no maintenance because the type of steel used is very resistant to extremely high temperatures.
