Calcium Silicate Board Pizza Oven applications for its following properties:
High temperature resistance
Calcium silicate board can withstand temperatures up to 650-800°C, which is suitable for pizza oven applications that operate at temperatures around 300-480°C.
Thermal insulation
It has low thermal conductivity of 0.05-0.08 W/mK, which helps keep the heat inside the pizza oven and maintain an even temperature.
Fire resistance
Being non-combustible, calcium silicate board helps improve the fire safety of the pizza oven.
Moisture resistance
Its low water absorption property makes it suitable for high humidity environments like pizza ovens.
Dimensional stability
Calcium silicate board has good dimensional stability at high temperatures, so it will not warp or crack easily when used in pizza ovens.
Low cost
It is an affordable insulating material compared to alternatives like firebricks.
Some specific applications of calcium silicate board in pizza oven construction are:
Oven dome/ roof insulation
It can be used to line the dome or roof of a wood fired or gas pizza oven to provide both thermal and sound insulation.
Floor insulation
The boards can be laid underneath the floor of the pizza oven to insulate and protect the base from the high temperatures.
Wall insulation
Calcium silicate boards can be used to line the inner walls of the oven chamber to maintain an even bake and reflect heat back into the oven.
Base plate
The high strength calcium silicate boards can function as the base plate that the oven stones sit on top of in a brick oven pizza oven.
Back insulator
The boards can be used behind the firing brick or stone to reduce heat loss through the back of the pizza oven.
