Propane Pan
Ty Havas didn't want an ordinary Propane pan for his fireplace. He wanted a pan that would be more than functional. So after some sketches and discussions we began making a cardboard mock up.
He would ultimately receive a Stainless Steel pan with angled legs and a 2 inch depth. Here the cardboard mock-up along with his fireplace measurements (which you can see denoted on the cardboard piece below the mock-up) assure that we attain the correct size and appropriate design.
The fireplace is emptied out and it becomes apparent that its in dire need of a fresh coat of paint. And since the custom pan was built with legs, the fireplace floor will be left visible and as a result fresh tile will be added to the hearth.
The fireplace re-design is complete with two custom reflective sterling silver panels on either side of the pan to give the illusion of the fireplace being larger.
The stainless steel pan is filled 1/4" Bronze Base Glass, 1/4" Bronze Reflective Base Glass, Copper Ruby Red topper, Yellowish Opal Orange Topper, and Red Brown Topper.
A wonderful transformation.
This fireplace belongs to Dr Bernstein, who got a whole lot of good stuff. Starting with a double 24" steel fireplace burner, and reflective Sterling Silver panels.
The Doctor filled her fireplace with several of our Unique FireBalls, and a mixture of two sands, Black Magic and Green Sand.
This series of pictures come to us from Mark Diefre who has a Palm Springs condo with two direct vent fireplaces who were suffering from ugly fake logs.
So he contacted us, like everyone who gets told they can't have a direct vent with FireGlass. Below you can see the unit as it was originally, with a low level fire.
Here is the same fireplace after our conversion, notice how much larger the fire is.
And even though Mark's fireplace looked a lot better, he still wasn't satisfied. So he got a Sterling Silver panel for the back wall.
A while later though we again heard from Mark, who decided he needed two more Sterling Silver panels; completing his Direct-Vent fireplace.
With the success of the downstairs fireplace, Mark decided on doing a his upstairs Direct-Vent fireplace in the same fashion.
Both fireplaces used Gray Base Glass and Gray Reflective Base Glass FireGlass.
The fireplaces we are about to show you are Sterling Silver Coated panels we have developed. No they are not just mirrors! (try it and let us know what happened). We are now working on a template procedure to send the customer to help us properly fit each panel. The first set of pictures are from David Barron in Southern California.
You can see the flames reflect off of the side and back walls from the
Sterling Silver coated panels. Well if you ever thought of doing this, we now can! We pride ourselves in being the first in creativity, design, innovation and customer service. Most of our ideas and creations will be copied, but many months later we are at that time are already on our 2nd or 3rd generation product line anyway. Imitation is the highest form of FLATTERY! Thank you, no really Thank you! Our drive is to satisfy the customer with creativity and ingenuity.
We will be posting more pictures when they are available. Please send your thoughts on our ideas and product developments, we really do appreciate your thoughts.

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. 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 fireplace below is in Pasadena, California. Ursula did a nice job, (2004!) but just recently she had us update it withe Sterling Silver walls.
The next 5 pictures are from Ursula in Pasadena. She just recently had us update her fireplace with a Sterling Silver interior. Nice touch!
The only mistake that was made is that the glass should of been higher to cover the gas line coming in on the right side. He should of added more of a sand base, brought the sand and glass out of the fireplace for a more refined look. That is unless you like pipes!
This next fireplace was installed by
Sueun. She installed the Sterling Silver back panels and then placed a layer of
sand. Then she installed
Starfire Base Glass over the sand.
Sueun could not decide on which color, she she added almost all!!!!! She added;
Drops,
Rounds,
Diamonds,
Toppings,
Toppers, If she wanted color, then she got it. I think it turned out very colorful.
We just finished a few more and we will post pictures as soon as we can.
