The Importance of Heatproof Plastering
Heatproof plastering is essential for any space that will be exposed to significant heat, such as fireplaces, media walls, and other heating features. Standard plaster, while suitable for walls and ceilings, cannot withstand the thermal expansion caused by high temperatures.

Without heat-resistant plaster, cracks, peeling, and discolouration are common issues that can degrade the appearance and functionality of your space over time. Bonfire’s experienced team uses only the best heatproof materials and methods to ensure that your investment remains protected from these common problems.
Our expertise in heatproof plastering means that your project will be completed to the highest industry standards, ensuring a long-lasting, resilient finish.
