Are there different types of pumice?
Yes, there are many different types. Pumice is mined and exported from all over the world. What makes the pumice in an Isokern fireplace or chimney system so unique is that it is mined at an extremely high altitude which causes the pumice to be cleaner and contains less organic material. This ‘cleaner’ pumice allows for cleaner burning and the ability to sustain high heat temperatures without cracking or splitting.
