About this product

A pizza oven hearth is built in layers: a cooking surface of fire brick or castable on top, an insulating layer of vermiculite or perlite concrete or similar underneath, all on a solid base. The insulation stops heat draining out of the floor, so pizzas keep baking evenly from below.

Send us your hearth dimensions and planned layers and we will quote the materials for each one.

Pizza Oven Hearth Materials: common questions

Why does a pizza oven floor need insulation underneath?

Without insulation, heat drains from the cooking floor into the base, so the floor cools quickly between pizzas and the oven uses more fuel.

What goes into a pizza oven hearth?

Typically a solid base, an insulating layer such as vermiculite or perlite concrete or insulating board, and a cooking surface of fire bricks or refractory castable.

Can you supply all the hearth layers together?

Yes. Send your hearth dimensions and planned layers and we will quote the materials for each.
