I thought it might be interesting for everyone to see my Quad 7100 fireplace before and after photos of my reline. There was nothing wrong with the firebrick in my Quad except I think it would look better with the Skamol or Skamolex panels. Since I can cut them any way I want, I was able to make them taller than standard firebrick so that they go all the way to the upper baffle in the back. They have mortar joint groves and make the inside much more attractive. They may not be a durable as firebrick, that will be the test. Notice I also put andirons in my unit.
It has also been mentioned about the upper baffle cracking in these units, mine is cracked so I may try replacing it with this material also at a later date.
What do you think?
