What Do You Need for a DIY Pizza Oven?
Fire bricks
Use in refractory areas of a pizza oven where fire bricks are required — bases, walls and other cooking or heat-facing surfaces as listed on the product.
Refractory clay
Use for bedding, joining and pointing fire bricks, and as a gap-filling or repair mortar where a heat-resistant joint is needed.
Ceramic fibre blanket
Flexible high-temperature insulation that can be cut and shaped around curved or irregular parts of an oven structure.
Calcium silicate board
Rigid insulation and enclosure board for pizza oven construction. It is not a substitute for fire bricks inside a firebox.
Pizza Oven Materials Explained
Fire bricks
Dense refractory bricks for pizza oven bases, walls and cooking surfaces. They absorb and hold heat. The listed Premium Clay Fire Bricks are food safe for cooking applications.
Refractory clay
A powdered clay mixed with water for laying and joining fire bricks. It is a jointing and repair material, not a brick replacement.
Ceramic fibre blanket
Soft, flexible insulation sold by the metre. It wraps and follows curves. It is insulation, not a cooking surface or fire brick.
Calcium silicate board
A rigid board used to insulate and enclose the oven structure. Unlike ceramic fibre blanket, it stays flat and can be cut like a construction board.

Frequently asked questions
What materials do I need to build a pizza oven?
That depends on the oven design. Typical builds use fire bricks for heat-facing areas, refractory clay for joints, and insulation such as ceramic fibre blanket or calcium silicate board. Choose the products that match your construction method.
What are fire bricks used for in a pizza oven?
Premium Clay Fire Bricks are used for pizza oven bases, walls and cooking surfaces. They retain heat and are listed as food safe for cooking applications.
What is refractory clay used for?
It is mixed with water for bedding, joining and pointing fire bricks, and for gap filling or refractory repairs on pizza ovens and similar high-temperature structures.
What is ceramic fibre blanket used for?
It is flexible high-temperature insulation for pizza ovens and wood-fired ovens. It can be cut and shaped around curved or irregular surfaces.
What is calcium silicate board used for?
It is a rigid insulation and enclosure board used in pizza oven construction. It should not be used inside a stove or oven as a fire brick.
What is the difference between ceramic fibre blanket and calcium silicate board?
Ceramic fibre blanket is soft and flexible, so it wraps around curves. Calcium silicate board is a rigid panel for flat insulation and enclosure work.
Can these materials be used for outdoor pizza ovens?
Yes. The fire bricks, refractory clay, ceramic fibre blanket and calcium silicate board in this range are all listed for pizza oven or outdoor oven use. Follow each product’s own instructions.
How much material do I need for my pizza oven?
The amount depends on the oven or grill design, dimensions and construction method. See the pizza oven, Turkish BBQ and Argentinian grill build guides linked on this page for example quantities. Confirm your own proven design before ordering.
Do I need heat-resistant gloves for a pizza oven?
