firebricks
Heat-resistant masonry blocks
Firebricks are bricks made to withstand high temperatures, used to line furnaces, kilns, and fireplaces.
They're composed of refractory ceramic materials that resist cracking and crumbling under intense heat.
Also called refractory bricks.
The old kiln needed new firebricks after years of use.
