Outdoor fireplace lining material

When we built our home we added an outdoor fireplace by buying a pre-made "pizza oven" kit made of cast concrete.
By re-arranging the pieces, we made it into a fireplace, attached on the backside to the home.
I think I need to line the interior with a suitable material.....and I need something relatively thin, like a veneer.
What products are available? I've searched the web, but didn't find much
Thanks

You can search online for "kiln making supplies". There are all sorts of high temperature products available. This company has bricks 1" thick and in another section of their site also has high temperature mortar.

Repair / manage cracks on porch concrete

D

dhollinden on Jan 01, 2019

Hello, Our front porch is a 6 inch thick concrete slab suspended 6 inches above the ground in a metal frame. There are a lot of thin cracks in it. Some of the cracks are large enough to see, yet they are very thin, too thin to easily fill with some type of repair product. There are many smaller cracks that are not normally visible but can be seen when the porch is wet. Given that the cracks are so small that filling them seems tricky, I'm wondering if I should just apply a sealer instead. Or perhaps apply some type of repair/filler product in a thin, watery coat that might penetrate the cracks, and then apply a sealer. We're also considering painting it, after any repair treatments, to minimize the visual effects of the cracks. It appears that the concrete was resurfaced once before, before we purchased the house. So perhaps this has been an ongoing problem. Any thoughts or guidance on this? Many thanks, Dave [B]Full size.....

Product to cover flagstone?

C

Cturtle on Jan 08, 2019

I have a flagstone patio that sits over part of a basement. Water is seeping down around the flagstone and coming through the ceiling of the basement below. (It appears the builders (15yrs ago) put down a membrane below the stone, but all the water flows below the stone to the lowest point and pours through that spot into the basement). A couple years ago, I had a masonry team out: they patched the obvious gaps in grout which reduced the water, but it is increasing again. I’m looking for a product that can be put (poured?) down over the flagstone to eliminate all the seams that water seeps down, and give me a nice, solid surface. Does anyone have suggestions? Can epoxy go over flagstone? Concrete resurfacer? Any suggestions would be appreciated!Read More
