Firebrace

Firebrace refers to a type of metal clamp or band used to reinforce structures, particularly those subject to heat or pressure. Historically, firebraces were commonly used in applications such as reinforcing furnace walls, boilers, or other industrial structures exposed to high temperatures. The term can also refer to a more decorative metal band or brace used in furniture making or other craftwork, although this usage is less common. In some specific contexts, it may also refer to a brand name or proprietary product incorporating such bracing. The primary function of a firebrace is to provide structural integrity and prevent failure due to thermal stress or mechanical strain.
