Refractory Panel Installation in Dallas & the DFW Metroplex

Extend the Life of Your Prefab Fireplace With Durable, Heat-Resistant Protection

At The Chimney Sweep, we’ve proudly served homeowners across Dallas and the DFW Metroplex for over 45 years with honest, expert chimney care. We’re now excited to offer professional refractory panel installation—a critical service for those with prefabricated fireplaces that need firebox repair or restoration.

If the interior panels of your prefab fireplace are cracked, deteriorating, or showing signs of heat damage, it’s time to call The Chimney Sweep. Our certified technicians can inspect, remove, and replace damaged refractory panels with precision and care—restoring both safety and performance.

What Are Refractory Panels?

Refractory panels are specially designed, heat-resistant slabs that line the interior of prefabricated (factory-built) fireplaces. Most prefab fireboxes are built from lightweight metal. These panels act as a shield, protecting the outer metal casing and surrounding structures from extreme heat while reflecting warmth back into the room.

A standard prefab fireplace typically includes four panels: one on each side, one on the back, and one on the floor of the firebox. Over time, repeated heating and cooling cycles can cause these panels to crack or wear down—making your fireplace less safe and less efficient.

Do I Need New Fireplace Panels?

If you notice any of the following, it’s time to have your fireplace inspected:

  • Cracks wider than 1/16 inch (about the width of a nickel)

  • Chunks or sections of the panel missing

  • Discoloration, spalling (surface flaking), or crumbling

  • Warped or bowed panels

  • A general sense that your prefab fireplace is “worn out”

Damaged refractory panels can allow heat to escape into areas where it shouldn’t, increasing the risk of house fires. In fact, many insurance companies and fireplace manufacturers require panel replacement when damage exceeds safety thresholds.

These guys are awesome, and I highly recommend them. I’ve known the owner for years, and I can tell you that this is not just a “business” to him. He truly cares that the job is done correctly so that hopefully people don’t have devastating incidents down the road. Serving his long career as a firefighter and then chief, he’s seen firsthand the losses suffered from things we might sometimes take for granted such as chimney buildup or lint in dryer vents.
