Skamolex............ Highlight your fire!!

Skamolex is a new concept for lining gasfires, fireplaces and stoves, as well as a myriad of other uses, e.g. register plates, heat shields, replacement firebricks etc. etc. Their superior insulating capacity means better combustion and cleaner waste gas.

Skamolex panels are highly insulating refractory panels made from vermiculite. They do not contain any ceramic fibres and are therefore non-dusting, non-irritant and odourless. They have a high mechanical strength, yet are easy to cut and shape.

New - now available - are Skamolex V-LITE vermiculite insulating bricks

SKAMOLEX BENEFITS

Vermiculite is inorganic

No emission of toxic gasses
No emission of smoke or odour
Non-combustible

No known health hazards

The types of vermiculite used by Skamolex are examined at the National Institute of Occupational Health, Denmark (AMI*) on a regular basis to assure no content of asbestos-fibres and quartz.

SKAMOLEX panels are made from exfoliated vermiculite having excellent insulating properties.

Vermiculite is the geological name given to a group of hydrated laminar minerals, which are aluminium-iron magnesium silicates.
