The 15mm PROMAFOUR Board is a specialist fireplace insulation board manufactured from high-performance cement-bonded calcium silicate. Designed as part of the PROMAFOUR Fireplace Insulation System, this advanced heat-resistant board provides exceptional fire protection and thermal performance for fireplace construction, wood-burning stoves, inset fires and other high-temperature heating applications.
The 15mm Promat board is specifically designed for creating false chimney breasts, fireplace chambers, stove enclosures and chimney breast linings. It can be installed against masonry, concrete or timber-frame structures to provide a durable, fire-resistant barrier that helps protect surrounding materials from excessive heat exposure.
Engineered to withstand continuous temperatures of up to 1,000°C (1,832°F), PROMAFOUR boards offer excellent dimensional stability and reliable performance in demanding fireplace environments. Their rigid, self-supporting construction makes them easy to install while maintaining high levels of thermal insulation and fire safety.
Manufactured from asbestos-free calcium silicate, the 15mm PROMAFOUR board is lightweight, strong and easy to cut using standard tools. It provides a practical solution for installers looking to create safe, long-lasting fireplace systems without the need for traditional wet trades.
