**About Wardrobe Refractories**

Wardrobe Refractories are the high-temperature insulation specialists that provide Australian commercial and industrial businesses with a rapid, reliable, and efficient approach to maintaining their essential infrastructure to ensure business stability.

We are a small, family-owned business focused on client satisfaction and high-quality services.

We provide tailored solutions to minimise downtime and maximise output for small to large businesses.
