The fireplace below has Bronze and Bronze Reflective with ceramic tile on the outside, very modern and very nice!
We used Bronze glass and stainless steel burners in this fire pit on the roof top. Great design and view.
The table below was built for Jim Shaw in Riverside California. The stainless steel tray with stainless steel burners was build to Jim's specs. We used Bronze glass, Bronze Reflective glass and Pink Diamonds.This was a natural gas burner and could be easily converted to propane.

The fire pit below is in Malibu California which no one could figure out how to do what we did. The customer didn't want to see the fire pit hood anymore. So we just raised it. And everyone said it couldn't be done! This is what we like to do, take imagination and make it a reality. The base was provided by the customer we just supplied the "raise the hood" and the ring and
Bronze Base Glass and
Bronze Reflective Base Glass.
The vent went up 20 feet. E mail us and we will tell you how this was done.

The fireplace below is in Rancho Mirage just east of Palm Springs California. This is a direct vent fireplace and we used a Bronze Base Glass with
Bronze Reflective Base Glass on top. We use the original burner as it would do just fine. We are also cladding the bras with brushed stainless steel and we will post the pictures as soon as we get them. We did two identical fireplaces in this home. One in the master and the other in the family room. You can tell by the back ground.

This is the back side of the peninsula fireplace.
The pictures below will show you
how to install a propane burner and valve in your fire pit without drilling a hole in the side of your fire pit with our
FPPK (fire pit propane kit). This was install in Calabasas California with
Bronze Base Glass and
Bronze Reflective Base Glass on top. The fire pit has 10" solid sides which made this a good candidate for the
FPPK to be installed on the inside wall. This is a propane fire pit and we do calibrate every valve to every ring we install to eliminate back flow and any problems or issues that may happen. We also install the proper air mixer to insure a clean burn as we eliminate the soot know to be produced by propane. If you have a propane fire pit you know what I am talking about.
We can build whatever you may need foa control box cover, see our Metal Page!
The fireplace below is a before and after and a "how to" make it low and lean. A more contemporary look. This is a self install by Rich Kamins and one very nice job!. He used a Bronze Base Glass and Bronze Reflective Base Glass. Topper with a bit of Starfire Base Glass. Ice Ice Ice Topper and about 2 pounds of Copper Ruby Red Topper for a splash of color.
Typical nasty fireplace before Moderustic!


A few bricks and some drywall


The pictures below are of a self install with:
1/4" Bronze Base Glass and
1/2" Bronze Base Glass,
1/4" Starfire Base Glass and
1/2" Starfire Base Glass, Red Topper, Red Topping and about 1 lb of
Scarlet Red Topper.

And here you have one nice finished fireplace.

The fireplace below has a Bronze base with Starfire on top. The customer installed a Maxitrol remote control on the right side



If they would of used more filler it could of covered the remote at least on the top portion.
Putting a ceramic pine cone in a glass fireplace defeats the purpose, you think? I would of used a a fire stone or even a fire ball.

The fireplace below is from Cory here locally in
Rancho Cucamonga California. This transformation was a complete surface make over along with out Sterling Silver interior. The glass that was used was Bronze Base Glass and Bronze Reflective Base Glass. This is truly a DIY project and we like to help you create your ideas to reality.
Here we begin with the old interior brick panels removed.
Below you can see the new stone being applied.
Now you can see the reflection on the walls in the
Sterling Silver panels. No, these are not just mirrors in the fireplace. If you do try this, let us know how it worked out for you. Be sure to send us pictures of your project and we will be sure to post it on our "
How Not To Do It Page"! No, Really!
Again we are proud to constantly give you new and exciting products for your fireplace and fire pit projects.
The wine barrel below was build by one of our newer dealers in Texas. Matt's Welding. Contact us for information about Matt's wonderful work. We are going to be much more of Matt's work and look around his showroom in the pictures below. Many more projects to come.


There was a steel bowl installed using our propane system to burn our glass. They used Bronze Base Glass in the fire pit.


Below is a collection we took pictures for our customer to decide on which base to use under the Amber Diamonds.
Amber Diamonds alone

Amber Diamonds on Black

Amber Diamonds on Starfire

Amber Diamonds on New Yellow

Amber Diamonds on Bronze

The same product can be displayed thousands of ways. What do you want to see? Our diamonds are made with a convex base so when you look at the Diamonds in the fire they seem to be melting on the inside, like looking into a spoon. We cause it to reflect backwards. Visit out "Diamonds Page" to see many more colors!
The fire pit below is going to be installed in Sacramento on 11 14 09 for the Yard Crashers/ DIY/ HGTV show. After it is and has been installed we will post pictures on the Yard Crashers page. In the mean time here is the how to and why. We can build any size, shape, design feature you desire. We build to your imagination.
Below is the catch basin to hold the water for the feature

Above you see the auto fill?
Below the water pump is now install below.

Below the top pan is in place for testing with the fire and water bowls in place


Below the stainless steel ring is installed.

Below the glass (Bronze Base Glass) has been installed and the lights turned on.
.
Below you can see the pump has been turned on.

and now the fire.

We placed a card board template to replicate the table top to conceal the lights as well.

Now we add color to the water!


Here is the feature exposed with the blue water. You can change the water to any color you like.


This feature is only 6 1/2" tall. You can mount this under the table top and keep it only an inch or so above the surface of the table top.

So let's change it to red water and add Starfire Base Glass.





Remember, we build to your imagination!

The finished pictures will be posted on the Yard Crashers page when this project is installed after 11 14 09!

The next fireplaces were installed in Malibu California. The family room was on the entry level (second floor) and the roof top deck was located on the 4th floor. We did a little paparazzi photo shoot while we were there. The glass we installed was 1/2" bronze over a bed of crushed lava.









The fire water feature below was built by Don Whittaker and the glass that was used was:
Bronze base, Bronze Reflective, Garnet Topper, Ice Ice Ice and Cobalt Blue Opal Topping.
Here we go from the beginning:












The fireplaces below are located in Palm Desert California. These were both filler with crushed lava (3" to 4" each) and then topped with a Bronze base glass. We then added 6" gray Fire Balls. We will explain as we proceed:
This was the outdoor fireplace. 38" "H" burner was installed.

We then poured in about 4" of crushed lava filler.

Then we poured in about 1 1/2" of Bronze base glass.

Then we stacked in the 6" gray Fire Balls. We couldn't get any burning pictures because it was to bright outdoors.

The fireplace below was indoors in the family room. We started with about 3" to 4" of filler (crushed lava). We used a 38" "H" burner again in this fireplace as well.

Then we tested the flame pattern to insure the flames were not hitting the walls.




Then we added the 6" gray Fire Balls to the top of the Bronze base glass.


One very nice family room!

The fireplace below was installed by Scott Hansford of Palm Springs California.
We made an aluminum border to separate the glass from the outer stone layer. This helped in design and saved on glass as well. We will explain as we move on:
Do you see how high the gas connection is? We sent a 90 degree elbow to point the gas line down and then added enough filler to the bottom of the gas line to conceal it under the glass.
The metal border is installed holding the outer layer of rock in place.
They didn't like the post in the fireplace so we cut a mirror to preview if in fact they wanted it covered at all. If they would of wanted it covered we would of made piece of super 8 stainless steel (highly polished) to cover the post. The mirror was only a temporary visual. DON'T USE REGULAR GLASS NEAR ANY FIRE! So if you are not sure, preview it. The glass we used was a Bronze base glass with Gold base glass and Clear Diamonds.





The fire pit below was purchased locally and then we converted it to burn propane without soot! The colors used were:
Starfire Base Glass,
Here is what is looked like when he started. These manufactures have no imagination!
This only cost about $100.00, complete!
Mike
Clemen installed this next fireplace. He started of with Starfire base glass and exchanged it for a Bronze base glass.
Then he topped it off with 1 lb of each of the following:
New Yellow base glass,
Dark Red Orange Topper,
15 lbs of Bronze Reflective base glass,
Iris Yellow Topper,
Saffron Topper, Granny Apple Green Topper
and Extra Gold Ruby Topper.
And when he finished it, it looked amazing! Take a look.
Mike has received many compliments which we constantly shares. We do understand why and we were glad to help.

The fire pit below is from Frank Hammond. He created a beach environment in his back yard. He purchased a wood burning fire pit and we converted it to a gas burning pit. We also supplied a quick disconnect gas line to eliminate plumbing underground. he used a Bronze base glass over a bed of crushed lava and topped it with Gold base glass.

The pictures below are from Tom and Maria and they installed Bronze base glass with lava as a filler.
We would like to share their comments:
From:Tom and Maria
Ed:
Sorry it took me so long to get the pictures off to you. Anyway, we are digging the new look in the fireplace. You and your staff have been wonderful, from the first phone call to the last question. The handful of times I called for clarification or assistance it was about making sure I was comfortable, not once did I feel as though you guys left me hanging. As you promised during that first call, this really was one of easiest do it yourself projects I have ever completed. Thanks, you guys made it easy. I feel fortunate to have landed with you and your organization.

Paint the walls

Pour in the larger lava as a base and then cover it with our small crushed lava.



Then you're done!

The fire pit below was constructed by Andrew Jordan in Miami Florida, www.BuenaVistaFlats.com.
We build a 16" x 16" aluminum pan with a 1/2" lip on top. The propane tank was mounted below the table top. Nice and simple feature!

If you're in the area, send them a line or stop by www.BuenaVistaFlats.com.

The fireplace pictures below belong to John Krakowski. This is a complete make over/ transformation of his fireplace. The colors that were used are:
Bronze base glass,
Bronze Reflective base glass,

He installed:
Bronze Base Glass,
Bronze Rust Copper Base Glass,
1/4" Black Base Glass,
California Gold Base Glass,
Platinum Base Glass
1/2" Bronze Base Glass,
and 1/2" Starfire Base Glass.





The next fireplace installation was by Vito
Sanfilippo. He installed a
propane pan and topped it with:
and added
Here we go:
YUK, no paint...
Paint makes a world of difference.
Pan and glass installed
Small fire
and if Vito wants a big fire, Vito gets a big fire!
and his wife said, no I want a small fire, guess who won?
The next fire table was built by Brian Johnson of Omaha Nebraska, very nice! We supplied the components and Brian did the hard part, the table.
We don't have the construction pictures but we do have the table finished. Add
Bronze Base glass and to pit with 1 lb of Ice, you are done.
The blue is actually food coloring.

Cool Flames
On this page we will be posting some real cool fire flame pictures. You're more than welcome to send yours.
This fireplace has:
But you can't see that now. We will be posting daytime pictures so you can see the actual glass. We will be posting the yellow flames as well. We will tell you how to do this in the near future, really!
Comments and testimonial by the customer:
Ed Here are the other shots you requested. I tried many angles, lights, etc., yet could not get an accurate picture of the natural light setting. The silicone carbide is so reflective that it goes to light grey in all of the shots, and the smoke glass looks pale green/blue where in reality it looks almost black. Another description that may be even more appropriate of the daytime look is that of a neatly piled burned out fire, except that all of the “ash” is reflective and sparkly. Can not explain why in some of the shots the flame appears greenish. The blue colored flames are not exactly right either. The real color is closer to ultraviolet than anything else. Several of the shots, including 01, 29, and 50, have been taken from the same location. You can tell the ones taken at full open valve by the increased amount of color in the shots. Additional photos in separate mailings Keary I am very happy with my “new” gas fireplace. I thought I would share with you the enclosed photos taken with an ordinary digital camera with no ambient light except the fire itself. The camera was placed in various locations around the fire on the hearth proper. Unfortunately the stills cannot depict the fire action. What is amazing about the fire is the low spread out blue flame pattern instead of the conventional tall yellow flames in the middle.
The fireplace is open on three sides 30”x40”, The pit was filled with coarse bagged lava rock form Home Depot approximately 1” deep to the bottom of the U shaped burner gas pipe with the holes pointing down. It was then topped with Moderustic fine lava rock to fill in the voids on the top leaving the bottom of the burner only slightly submerged below the layer of the finer lava rock from Moderustic.. The next layer was black sand followed by S----- C-----. The sand was mounded in the center over the burners. A sprinkling of grey glass over the SC and a topper of Bronze ½” glass was sprinkled over the smaller sized matrix to finish. The final product is very dark and reflective with tiny reflections off of the s----- c------ and larger reflections off of the gradated glass during the day and in ambient light. It looks a little like a lava field that you might run across in the Mojave Desert near Barstow. Not at all showy, yet very subtle to the view in daylight. The coarse lava rock on the bottom layer, with the finer layer on top to keep the gas in longer, acts as manifold carrying gas to all portion of the firebox floor covered with that material. I stopped the coarse rock short of the metal posts in a semi circular shape in plan and back filled with sand so that the flame would not reach the posts. The visual result around the posts is that the gas reaching the end of the coarse material immediately goes upward creating a flowing arc of fire around the posts. This is seen as a blur in the photos.
The underlying coarse rock distributes the gas pretty evenly across the firebox floor creating a even matrix of small flames on the surface as it works its way up through the media. The extreme perimeter appears more active. There are more constant more steady flames from the mound. Because there is less gas at the perimeter, the gas there burns in horizontal spurts and appears like lightning bolts licking the edges of the firebox.
There are small vortexes of fire that form and sometimes work there way around the base of the mound on the center but usually preferring a particular area to hang out.
The overall effect is one of a dispersed flame. As if the entire bed of the fireplace is afire with a low blue flame. With all the lights out in the room it is quite magical. Not at all anything like a conventional yellow flame in the center. Due to the dispersion of the flame across the large firebox area, there is a lot of heat generated and dispersed into the room instead of up the flue. This is not a design for summer time nights.
Everyone who witnesses this flame is impressed with the “light show” quality of the burn.
In the future I plan to change out the media and experiment with different ways to direct the gas and resultant flame to achieve different effects.
Next time I am thinking of laying a pattern of coarse rock and infilling between the “arms” of coarse rock with sand so that the gas will follow the “arms” and come up in more predictable places, perhaps creating little vortexes or pyres at the ends of the “arms”.
Regards,
Keary Gregg
