Calcium Silicate & Ceramic Fiber Boards for Pizza Ovens in Kenya | Underfloor Thermal Insulation +254 722401175

When building a pizza oven, most people focus on bricks and insulation blankets—but what’s under your fire bricks is just as important. At Insulation World Kenya Ltd, we supply high-performance insulation boards — calcium silicate boards and ceramic fiber boards — both ideal for pizza oven floors. These boards act as thermal insulation layers beneath fire bricks, preventing downward heat loss and boosting overall oven performance.

Why Use an Insulation Board Under Fire Bricks?

Your oven’s floor can lose a lot of heat if it’s built directly on concrete or metal. Installing an insulation board underneath the fire bricks creates a thermal barrier that keeps heat where it’s needed — in the cooking chamber.

This means:
✅ Faster heating
✅ Longer heat retention
✅ More efficient fuel use
✅ Better cooking performance

1. Calcium Silicate Board

Rigid and highly durable, calcium silicate boards are ideal for static or heavy-duty ovens. They’re often used in commercial builds or permanent backyard setups where compressive strength matters.

Key Features:

• Max Temperature: ~1000°C

• Excellent compressive strength

• Lightweight but rigid and dense

• Ideal for supporting heavy fire bricks

• Easy to cut and shape

Best For:
✔ Outdoor kitchen ovens
✔ Commercial pizzeria installations
✔ Brick domes and heavy structures

2. Ceramic Fiber Board

Ceramic fiber boards offer higher temperature resistance and are great for more compact, custom, or mobile ovens. Slightly softer than calcium silicate, but with superior insulation at extreme heat levels.

Key Features:

• Max Temperature: Up to 1260°C

• Very low thermal conductivity

• Lightweight and easy to install

• Ideal where top-tier insulation is required

• Should be handled carefully due to fragility

Best For:
✔ Mobile pizza ovens
✔ Smaller DIY ovens
✔ Projects where heat retention is a top priority
