Fire-bricks
From fornobravo - the right firebrick
Medium duty firebrick. This is the brick that we recommend for both the cooking floor and dome of the Pompeii oven. medium duty firebricks are comprised of roughly 35% alumina and 50% silica, heat up quickly, easily withstand the 900F heat your oven will reach, and are designed for the rapid heat-up and cool down (thermal cycling) that your oven will experience. Firebrick will also reach the heat required for pizza more quickly than clay brick, as they are more efficient at conducting heat.
Floor insulation
From fornobravo:
Ultra-premium insulation, both in quality and thickness, for outstanding heat retention. Each pizza oven includes a minimum of 3” of high-tech ceramic blanket dome insulation and 2” of ceramic board floor insulation — eliminating the need for old-fashioned and inefficient vermiculite or Perlite-based insulating concrete
and https://www.fornobravo.com/pizza-oven-insulation/insulation-board/:
Insulation board is ideal for use as an insulator underneath your pizza oven and brick oven. It is a high strength, high-efficiency Alumina Silicate board originally designed for industrial applications, such as aluminum melting and holding furnaces. One 2″ (5 cm) thick layer of FB Board panel reduces the 800ºF (427 celsius) cooking floor of a pizza oven to roughly 170ºF (77 celsius) at equilibrium, making it roughly twice as efficient as pure Vermiculite board, and even more efficient than castable Vermiculite and Portland cement mixes.
