If you are wondering what to make a garden hearth from, you will find the best materials and techniques described in this article.
When building a durable and safe brick garden hearth, it is advisable to choose materials that are resistant to high temperatures, changing weather conditions and mechanical damage. Building a fire pit will not be a complicated challenge if you use fireproof materials for cookers, offered by the Vitcas brand shop. The basic product should be a chamotte brick, due to its high resistance to extreme heat, durability and excellent thermal insulation. A brick for the hearth is a cost-effective choice, for many years to come. In addition, a garden hearth made of brick presents an extremely attractive visual appearance. The construction process should start with the design, site selection and ground preparation. The construction of the campfire hearth can be based on ready-made components from the Vitcas brand shop.
Chamotte brick vs. clinker brick – which to choose?
The choice between chamotte brick and clinker brick depends primarily on the purpose of the structure to be built. Both materials have their own unique properties. A chamotte brick will work well if you need refractory materials for cookers. It is also an excellent brick for the hearth of a fireplace, smokehouse or barbecue. It will also be ideal if you need a brick garden hearth. It is as fire resistant as possible and accumulates heat well. A clinker brick will be suitable as a finish for a building façade, fence, terrace or the exterior of a fireplace. It is also possible to make a garden fireplace from clinker bricks, as it is distinguished by its exceptional aesthetics and resistance to weathering.
How do I plan and make a garden hearth?
The construction of a garden hearth is not only a question of aesthetics, but above all of safety and durability. Chamotte bricks are an excellent choice for creating hearths due to their resistance to high temperatures, excellent heat accumulation and resistance to thermal shock. For open structures, it is also worth considering a garden hearth made from clinker brick, which provides high aesthetics and weather resistance. Regardless of the choice of material, proper preparation of the ground and the selection of refractory materials for the cookers, such as mortar or thermal insulation, are crucial. The Vitcas shop offers a wide selection of essential products to help realise even the most demanding garden fire pit project.
