Pink Diamonds 70550.

These are Pink Diamonds. They are made with a convex bottom so that when you are viewing them in the fire they appear to be melting on the inside because the fire is reflecting backwards which creates this effect. You have to see it to believe it! You only need 1/2 to 1 pound to make your fireplace look even more exciting!

The fireplace below is a self install with a bed of crushed lava and on top we have:
1 double 24" burner

For a lava fill n the base it needs to be back at least 4" so when you pour the glass on you won't see the lava through the glass. Yes they did move the lava back after they e mailed the pictures to us to see if they were doing it right.

The fire pit below belongs to Mike DeVito in Northern California. When I saw his idea I was excited to help him create something new and wonderful. He took a very old mining cart in his front yard and we helped him convert it to a propane burning fire pit! Turned out pretty cool! Next he is getting a fire pit cover made to cover it from debris and who else knows what.
We use a FPPK (fire pit propane kit) with valves, thermo coupler, pilot light and air mixer. The glass that was use is:
Starfire Base Glass over a bed of crushed lava rock,
I think this is one really nice idea!
It is all supplied by this 20 lb propane tank

Here is the mining cart with the base plate installed with the burners

Here you see the controls, air mixer and thermo coupler and pilot light lines under the base plate

You can use a larger (3/4", 1" lava) as a base under our 1/4" crushed lava as this will save you a few dollars.

Now we pour on the crushed lava to keep the glass from sinking into the larger lava.

Have your spouse light it in case something should go wrong! (Just Kidding)

Again here are the first pictures we saw of the mining cart. Great Idea!
Mike, you did a great job!

Las Vegas Yard Crashers!

This will air in April of 2010!

Here is a preview

Ahned Hassan

This is what was done on the first day. I showed up on the beginning of the second and the final day. It's amazing what can take place in just 12 hours!

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 1

Above the pavers were installed the day before.

Below is the patio with the outdoor kitchen set aside for now.

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 2

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 3

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 4

Above is where the outdoor kitchen will reside later.

Even the palm trees were brought in! There was nothing on the site when it started the day before.

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 5

Below Ahmed was leveling the ground around the fire pit area. Ahmed worked all day, much harder than anyone else! I was very impressed how hard he actually works to get the show done.

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 6

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 7

Below is where the propane fire pit will sit. The controller will be mounted to the side of the concrete base after the paper tubes are cut away.

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 10

Above and below you can see the inside of the planter is coated to prevent water from leaching out.

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 11

Above you can see on the ground that we brought the fire bowl in. Just so you know it was about 300 lbs!

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 12

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 13

Above and below you can see outdoor kitchen. The trough coming out is actually water fall spilling into a dry creek bed below. The water feature was covered with a glass top making it a dining area as well. On the inner wedges they wrapped rope lights to accent the water and rocks under the glass top.

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 15

Above and below you can see the sand was installed as a base for the artificial grass to come.

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 16

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 17

Above they are compacting the sand for the grass to be installed.

Below Ahmed is finishing the dry creek bed.

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 18

Below the grass is installed.

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 19

Below the dry creek bed is finished and the grass is now installed in the back are as well.

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 21

Above is our fire bowl on propane. We used Starfire Base Glass with Ice Ice Ice Toppers and Diamonds on top. We brought out several colors of diamonds for the customer to pick and choose bur she liked them all so much, she installed every last one!

Las Vegas Yard Crashers 22

Below you can see after everything was cleaned up how spectacular it turned out!

We are to feature several more episodes with Yard Crashers and we will be showing several more of our new product lines on their shows.  We still have several shows we need to post pictures of what we did. Please come back from time to time to see our latest updates.

I thank Ahmed and the producers of the Yard Crashers for giving us the opportunity to work with them.

Thanks to Tiffany, Krystal and Holly at the Idea Factory!

Do it yourself fireplace remodel made easy, or at least it seems that way.

First, the tile that was installed is not rated for fire. This tile would of popped off as soon as the fire was turned on. So do a little research before you begin. We can help in many ways, just call and ask.

It may have of seemed to be a good idea at the time, but it wasn't!

Christy's Fireplace 2

When redesigning a fireplace we suggest card board mache'. A card board mock up so you can see a basic preview of your project.

Christy's Fireplace 3

Christy's Fireplace 4

Below you can see the bottom, top and mantle in card board.

Christy's Fireplace 5

Christy's Fireplace 6

Now the rip and tear process begins!

Christy's Fireplace 7

Below we installed the extra electrical for the components and the TV. The components will be installed on the right side out of view with a black glass door. This will be installed later.

Christy's Fireplace 8

Below the framing begins.

Christy's Fireplace 10

Below we now added the Durock at the fireplace opening. This is key to the whole project. Math is very important when doing these layouts!

Below you can see the slate is being added.

Christy's Fireplace 19

Above and below the fireplace is 90% finished. The mantle needs to be installed and the door on the right to conceal the components needs to be installed as well. The inside of the fireplace will have 3 pieces of black galaxy granite installed. We will post these pictures of the fireplace when it is completely finished as well.

Christy's Fireplace 20

Now for the glass installation. We started with a satin black paint on the back walls, until we install the granite.  Then we bulked up the base with 2" of white sand as this will save you a bunch of money! We used sand because we were pouring Starfire Base Glass in the fireplace. If we were to use a darker color of glass we would of used our crushed lava rock as a filler. When using sand, always make sure the burner is on top of the sand.

Christy's Fireplace 21

Test the burner/ location making sure the flames don't hit the walls.

Christy's Fireplace 22

Christy's Fireplace 23

Then pour the glass!

Christy's Fireplace 24

Christy's Fireplace 25

We added a few pink diamonds and then later added Ice Ice Ice and Clear Diamonds. These products because of the way they are made appear to be melting on the inside.

The sealer that was used was a stone enhancer, not just a regular cheap sealer. When using rock you always want to see the beauty of the stone you are using.

Christy's Fireplace 30

Christy's Fireplace 31

Christy's Fireplace 32

As you can see the mantle is still missing. We have a few more details to still do and as soon as we have time to post the pictures, they will be here.

We encourage imagination to all of our customers and we support you and your projects. Regardless how simple or how creative. This is one of the elements that spawned our success and continues to do so.



The stove below had a set of logs installed, yuk! We used the original burner and just raised the thermo coupler to the surface of the glass. The glass will get to about 700 to 750 degrees in about an hour burning at 80,000 btu's. We used a Clear Base Glass, Lagoon Topper and a few Clear Diamonds and Pink Diamonds.
