FB Blanket Specification Sheet |

Description
FB Blanket is the perfect oven dome insulator. It is a flexible woven ceramic blanket that is both highly efficient and easy to install. An Alumina Silicate product originally designed for industrial applications, such as aluminum melting and holding furnaces, the cost of FB Board has fallen to where it is often used as the only dome insulator, making vermiculite obsolete. A 3 " thick layer of FB Blanket reduces the potential 800ºF exterior of a pizza oven dome to roughly 170ºF at equilibrium.
Each Forno Bravo oven comes with 50 sq. ft. of FB Blanket, enough to cover the oven with at least a 1" thick layer. To calculate how much additional FB Blanket you will need to complete your installation, read our FB Blanket Calculation page.
