Skamotec is an efficient Fireproof panel which comes in different thicknesses. (Typically: 25mm/40mm/50mm) It is primarily used as an insulator to protect combustible Wall Framing from Fireplace’s heat. Due to its thin profile, it has become an excellent replacement for traditional Masonry or Concrete casement.
Certain Fireplace models require minimum Cavity behind the Skamotec layer. Speak to the supplier to attain more installation information.
Although Skamotec is a superior choice in most situations, some fireplace companies may suggest using Fireproof Metal Shield for an even slimmer non-combustible layer.
