Mezzo Insulation Kit Upgrade Bundle

Our Upgrade Pack contains everything you need should you decide that you would like further insulate your oven and customise the finish of your oven to your own design. Included in the Upgrade pack is:

– Decorative Archway
– Insulation Wool (enough to insulate your oven)
– Insulation Board (enough to cover the footprint of your oven)

The benefits of insulating your oven include increasing the heat retention from 5+ hours up to 24+ hours. This opens you up to a whole range of cooking techniques such as overnight cooking and slow roasting that can be achieved in the residual heat of the oven. Another reason customers chose to build their oven in is to fully customise the finish of the oven to their own design preferences. The archway included in the upgrade pack provides you with a ready-to-go decorative finish, whilst the insulation materials ensure great heat retention.

Calcium silicate board is especially helpful, and often essential, if you want to protect the material that your oven is sitting on. In many circumstances, it is important that the oven does not sit directly on certain materials (for example, wood) for safety purposes. Even materials that are heat proof, like concrete, may still conduct heat down into the materials below them. Calcium silicate ensures that the heat is bounced back up into your oven dome, rather than down into the material below. So, even if you aren’t planning on insulating your oven, it may still be worth looking into getting some calcium silicate board. Please get in touch with us for more information about how to ensure that your oven is placed on a surface safely.

If you wish to paint your oven for an alternative aesthetic finish, insulating and rendering is essential. Painting directly onto our core oven domes will cause cracking (even with heatproof paint). We would advise adding the insulation and render kit to your order if you wish to paint your oven.
