Exhaust pipes from heating devices are protected by high-temperature plaster – the best solution for fireplaces and chimneys. Its unique properties make it the optimal form of finish.
High-temperature plaster is the best finishing material for fireplaces and chimneys for several reasons, which result from its properties, adapted to the extreme thermal conditions in which these structures operate. Fireproof plaster has been developed to withstand the continuous high temperatures generated by burning fuel. Standard building plasters can crack, crumble, detach from the substrate and even emit unpleasant odours or harmful substances when exposed to heat. Heat-resistant plaster retains its structure and properties even at temperatures exceeding 1000°C. Fireproof plaster withstands thermal shock, is flexible and has good adhesion to surfaces. It is safe to use and ensures structural stability.
Why use high-temperature plaster for fireplaces and chimneys?
Plaster for chimneys and fireplaces works great because it is resistant to extreme temperatures, such as those found inside the firebox and in the flue. Heat-resistant plaster does not lose its properties in a thermally hostile environment. In addition, fireproof plaster covers the surface thoroughly, regardless of whether it is concrete, brick or insulation boards. Fire-resistant plaster does not crack as a result of sudden temperature changes, which determines the durability of the finish of the fireplace and chimney flues. High-temperature plaster does not emit harmful substances when exposed to heat, so it does not affect the air quality in the room. It guarantees an aesthetic finish to the structure and is an ideal base for further work, such as painting.
The best methods for plastering a chimney on the outside
For chimney plastering to be effective and durable, it is necessary to use a material with the right parameters, such as high-temperature plaster. Unlike ordinary cement plasters, Vitcas fire-resistant plaster perfectly withstands direct exposure to fire and high temperatures, does not crack or crumble as a result of thermal shock. When plastering the outside of a chimney, it is crucial to prepare the surface properly – it should be clean, dry and stable. Next, a layer of primer is applied, followed by heat-resistant plaster, which can be applied by hand or sprayed on. Chimney plaster should be highly flexible, adhere well to various surfaces (brick, concrete, fireproof boards) and be resistant to weather conditions. Vitcas fireproof plaster, available in the Vitcas online store, is recommended for both indoor and outdoor use, especially where the chimney is exposed to intensive use and extreme conditions.
