Heat-Resistant Refractory Mortar for Fireplaces & Chimneys

When you’re building fireplaces, fire pits, ovens, or any other high-temperature project that calls for refractory mortar, Sakrete High-Heat Mortar is your mix.

Formulated to withstand temperatures up to 2550°F, our high-strength, highly workable refractory mix is perfect for setting fire brick, clay masonry or as a parge coat.

Sakrete High-Heat Mortar Mix shines in extreme environments where ordinary mortar fails. Its specialized formulation makes it ideal for thermal cycling, repeated firing and long-term exposure to heat. Use it for both structural and surface applications in residential or commercial builds. 

To finish surrounding surfaces, consider pairing with Sakrete Surface Bonding Cement or a Stucco Finish Coat.
