Vitcas® Heat Accumulation Fireboards are high-density refractory boards specially designed for heat accumulation and storage around fireplaces and stoves. These fireboards are an ideal solution for retaining and storing heat for long periods, ensuring that your living space stays warm and comfortable. The fireplace refractory panels have a high density and good thermal conductivity so heat is retained for long periods.
Vitcas® Heat Accumulation Fireboards can also help you save money on your heating bills. By retaining and storing heat for long periods, these fireboards can reduce the amount of energy needed to heat your living space. This means that you can rely less on your heating system and potentially save money on your energy bills over time. In addition, the use of environmentally friendly materials in the production of these fireboards makes them a sustainable and cost-effective option for homeowners looking to improve the energy efficiency of their homes.
Characteristics:
High heat accumulation properties: Vitcas® Heat Accumulation Fireboards have a high heat accumulation capacity, which means that they can retain heat for extended periods.
Cost efficiency: This can help reduce energy consumption and save money on heating bills by retaining and storing heat for long periods, reducing the need for constant heating.
Easy to install: These fireboards are heavy but easy to install, making them a convenient choice for builders, architects, and homeowners.
Environmentally friendly: Vitcas® Heat Accumulation Fireboards are made from environmentally friendly materials, making them a sustainable option for your building needs.

Instructions:
Ensure that the surface to which the fireboard will be applied is clean and free of debris.
Apply a thin layer of Vitcas® HB10 Rapid Setting Adhesive to the surface where the fireboard will be installed.
Place the fireboard onto the adhesive, ensuring that it is level and properly aligned.
Apply pressure to the board to ensure it adheres firmly to the surface.
Allow the adhesive to dry completely before using the fireplace or stove.
Hi, could you tile on top of these panels? I am looking for some boarding to cover a space inside my oak fire surround, behind a free-standing bioethanol stove. There are two oak uprights and a top mantelpiece. The back panel would be inside the fire surround and would cover the hole that is there at present. I would like to tile on top of the back panel to create a design behind the stove. The stove would have a gap between it and the back panel. Not sure what to use for the panel as I would like it to have some fire resistance even though the stove is self-contained.
Yes, you could tile on top of the Accumulation Fireboard.
Hi, can you cut these boards either using a saw or grinder?
Thanks
You may cut using a Brick & Concrete Cutting Diamond Disc.
How does this fireboard help prevent a room overheating?
Answer
The high-density refractory board absorbs and stores heat produced by a fireplace or stove, rather than allowing all the heat to enter the room immediately. It then releases the stored heat gradually over time. This helps create more consistent warmth and can reduce the uncomfortable temperature peaks associated with direct radiant heat.
Question
Where can ACC Heat Accumulation Fireboard be installed?
Answer
ACC Heat Accumulation Fireboard is designed for use in and around fireplaces and stoves where heat storage is required. Its high density and thermal conductivity allow it to absorb radiant heat and release it gradually. The board is listed for both indoor and outdoor use, but the complete installation must be suitable for its location and intended heating appliance.
Question
How should the heat accumulation board be fixed?
Answer
Begin with a clean surface that is free from dust and debris. Apply a thin layer of VITCAS HB10 Rapid Setting Adhesive, position the board so it is level and correctly aligned, then press it firmly into place. Allow the adhesive to dry completely before operating the fireplace or stove. The boards can be installed without wires or a supporting framework.
Question
Can ACC Heat Accumulation Fireboard be cut to size?
Answer
Yes. The board can be cut where necessary to fit the planned fireplace or stove installation. VITCAS recommends using a Brick and Concrete Cutting Diamond Disc. Measure and mark each cut carefully before starting, particularly around corners and adjoining boards, so the finished layout remains accurately aligned and unnecessary material waste is avoided.
Question
Can tiles be applied over this accumulation fireboard?
Answer
Yes, tiles can be applied over ACC Heat Accumulation Fireboard. This makes it suitable where a tiled finish is required around a fireplace or behind a stove. The board must first be securely fixed to a clean, suitable surface. Choose installation and finishing materials that are appropriate for the temperatures and conditions expected in the completed heating system.
