This work presents a summary of research on concrete fireplace materials made of various mineral aggregates and enriched with steel and organic fibers. To determine the optimal applications of such concretes, their ability to accumulate heat and their other physicochemical parameters were tested and analyzed. Studies on the behavior of concrete materials during cooling are reported, and the ability of such materials to accumulate heat is evaluated using calculations. In addition, tests were performed on the loss of mass during heating, as well as on the mechanical bending strength and microstructures of these materials. Studies have shown that the behavior of concrete materials at high temperatures can be modified and adapted for specific purposes. The addition of fibers to concrete improves both the mechanical properties of mortars and the heat flow in concrete materials.
