How do I order fire bricks for my stove?
The quickest way to find the correct fire bricks is to search for your stove model in the search bar at the top of our
website home page.
If you cannot find your specific model online, or if you are unsure, please follow the options below so we can help you
get the right parts.
Option 1: You Know Your Stove Make and Model (Best Option)
If you know exactly what stove you have, we can identify the correct brick set.
Please tell us:
• Stove Make (e.g., "Charnwood")
• Stove Model (e.g., "C4" or "Cove 2")
• Model Variant (e.g., "Mk2" or "Mk3")
Important: Many stoves have updated versions (e.g., a Mk1 and a Mk2). These often use different brick sizes, so the
variant is crucial.
Option 2: You Have Measurements (For Custom Cutting)
If you do not know the model, or if the bricks are standard rectangles, you can measure your existing bricks.
What to measure:
• Width: Side to side
• Height: Top to bottom
• Depth: Thickness (usually 20mm or 25mm)
For standard rectangular bricks:
You can order custom-cut Vermiculite bricks directly through our sizing tool here:

For shaped bricks (with notches or angles):
Please send us a photo or a rough sketch of the shape along with the dimensions.
Option 3: Send Us Photos
If you are unsure of the model or how to measure, let us do the detective work.
Take photos of:
• The front of the stove.
• The inside of the firebox showing the bricks.
• The data plate (usually found on the back or under the stove).

Types of Fire Bricks
1. Vermiculite Boards (Most Common)
• Material: Lightweight, board-like material.
• Pros: Excellent insulation, reflects heat well, easy to cut.
• Usage: Used in most modern stoves for side/rear linings and baffle plates.
2. Clay Fire Bricks
• Material: Heavy, solid ceramic-like brick.
• Pros: Very durable against physical impact.
• Usage: Common in older stoves or traditional open fires.
3. Shaped vs. Rectangular
• Rectangular: Can be cut to size easily from our standard boards.
• Shaped: Specific to the stove model (often has angled edges or air holes). These usually must be ordered as a specific
set.

⚠️ Important Delivery Information
Fire bricks take longer to process than glass.
Please note the typical timeline:
• Delivery Time: 2–4 working days.
• Next Day Delivery: NOT usually available for custom bricks.
• Planning: Because these are often cut to specific requirements, please plan ahead if you need them urgently.

Common Questions
"Can I use any fire brick?"
No. Bricks must fit your stove correctly. Gaps in the lining can expose the stove's metal body to excessive heat,
causing warping or cracking.
"My bricks have a hairline crack - do I need to replace them?"
• Hairline cracks: Usually okay to leave for a while.
• Large cracks or crumbling: Replace immediately. If the brick is falling apart or exposing the metal behind it, it is
no longer protecting your stove.
"How often should they be replaced?"
Typically every 3–5 years, depending on how often you use the stove and how gently you load logs.
