Starfire Base Glass

The fireplace below is in Pasadena California. this is a before and after with a 2" base of crushed lava as a filler with Starfire Base Glass on top with a double 24" burner installed. We are next installing one of our surrounds.

Looks nice? Huh? NOT! Again, has anyone ever told you nice logs? I don't think so.
I would really not like being a log manufacture as they really produce some ugly products, in my opinion. But you decide for yourself.
heidi 3
heidi 4
Below we have installed the burner on top of the lava rock filler.
heidi 6
Now test the burner to insure the flames don't hit the back wall as this will scorch the walls.

heidi 14
Now this is nice! Now we will install a surround. Most everyone tells us "Nice Glass"!

The fireplace below was installed in Palm Springs, California. The base glass is Starfire Base Glass and then we topped it with 1 lb of Pirates Topper.
ps pirates 1
This is a typical fireplace but this one has lava rock stacked up inside, yuck!
ps pirates 2
Below you can see the flame hitting the back wall creating a soot mark, not very nice looking. The customer didn't want the fireplace painted, why?
ps pirates 3
There's that soot mark! If you do paint make sure the work is not spotty! That looks nasty as well.
ps pirates 4
Above you see the typical hard piped burner installed which is fine for logs or lava. But this does not really work well for glass.
Below you see the double burner installed with an 18" flex line.
ps pirates 5

Test the burner and pour the glass, now it looks nice except for the soot mark!

The fireplace below has a 3" layer of crushed lava, 1/4" Clear Base Glass, 1/2" Starfire Base Glass, 3/4" Starfire Base Glass for the chunky look and a flush surround to finish it off. A very impressive and modern house and fireplace. From beginning to end, here we go.

We also floated the walls to level the fireplace and get it ready for the surround.

A little bit of granite on the floor

If you notice to the right there is no valve to turn it on? The plumber from a few years ago has it to the right about 5 feet, DUMMY! Lets fill the fireplace with gas before we get there and see what happens! Don't hire that plumber.

n 1n 2

We are now going to do an extended 3/4" glass radius counter in the kitchen in front of the stove for a glass counter top.

We also bent all of the kitchen handles to contour the cabinets.

We flush fit a surround to the wall for a final finish. This was a satin black aluminum frame with 2" of glass installed

n 23n 24

We are capable of any size project from design to a full installation (depending on our current work load). There is nothing we can't do as we are the the first and foremost authority in our field. We never say NO! We do only what the other companies can only dream about!

So there it is. A clean burning propane burner, 2" method, no soot, no smells, no carbon monoxide and it puts out a tremendous amount of heat. We sell the 2" method because it works and if anyone tries to tell you different, they need your money more than you do. We are the only company building propane burners for glass that don't soot or smell!

We use a piece of stainless steel in the front to contain the glass to cover the burners and keep the glass level.
The first project we are working on is the Maryland Hotel (Ivy Hotel now) Roof Top Fire Pit in downtown San Diego, California on the 7th floor roof top! www.IvyHotel.com
It measures 60" across, 30" tall and 144" long!
The fire table/ fire pit will and a 5' x 12' surface top in smooth concrete with a 16" x 120" stainless steel fire tray of to one side. We will post pictures as the project grows on.
Te fire pit is constructed with a new flexible track and about 3,000 screws, 240' of galvanized channel, 450 welds, 600 lbs of GFRC/ Wonder Board and coated in smooth texture concrete.

The table now has had a different coat of colored concrete applied and a granite top. The glass that is installed is Starfire Base Glass. The Hotel plumber was not very careful as he mixed the lava with the glass and now it looks like salt and pepper. We will be taking a trip to San Diego to fix this mixing issue because we would like to post finished pictures of the fire table burning at night time.

This is how easy it is to install. This is all glass and if you need to build it up a little or a lot then use a filler to save money

 

The fireplace below has a Starfire Base Glass with Red Topper and Red Orange Toppings, Scarlett Toppers, Copper Ruby Red Toppers. As you can see the fireplace was 5" deep and 54" wide and yes we did fill it with crushed lava rock.

The fireplace below was on the outside wall of the fireplace above. We also had a Starfire Base Glass with Red Toppers and Red Orange Toppings, Scarlett Toppers, Copper Ruby Red Toppers. This fireplace was filled 4" to save on the cost of the base glass. If anyone ever tries to tell you different, well tell them *#@!+$% their wrong!

Hi Ed,

I finally managed to finish the fireplace.  We have decided to place a 2" piece of metal in front (which hasn't been done yet), though, to keep the glass off the ledge.  We thought it would be deep enough, but that didn't quite work.

To enable me to keep the center area smooth, we had to place the burner on top of the wall pipe, which created a rather high burner placement.  This ended up creating a bit of a problem because I had a steep slope to the hearth.  This is why I need to add the metal strip in front--so the glass doesn't roll down and come out of the fireplace.  We had decided to not have a glass door on it, although if we find something we really like, that could change.

 The pics might come in 2-3 e-mails, but I'll describe them here.  The first few pics are duplicates of ones I already sent you.

1. Original fireplace, emptied out.

2-3. After painting with the dark blue from the chart you guys gave us.  The wall was painted to match, although, I'm not sure I really like it.  I'm trying to reserve judgement until I see it for awhile.

The damper handle is a brass duck head which wasn't even noticeable when it was all black.

4-5.New burner in place.  This created more problems than expected due to the wall pipe being higher than most.  We ended up using regular lava rock, since we couldn't find the smaller rocks.  Then we added small pea gravel to fill in gaps around the lava rock.  After the burner was finally level, we added the sand.

6. Testing the burner with sand added.

7. Clear Base Glass added.

8. Rest of colors were added--Starfire Base Glass, Azurlite Base Glass, Cranberry-Pink Topping, with a little Steel Blue Topper and a few Ice Cubes.

9-10.  All finished and burning.

We're still working on the right side of this wall which has cabinets holding the TV and storage.  Once the entire wall is finished, I'll send you one final pic of the entire wall.  Not sure how soon that will happen, so don't wait for it, if you want to post these pics on your website.

I want to thank you for all your help.  Your store was great to visit, so we could pick our glass out in person.  Your staff was very helpful and we had a great time making our final color choices. I'll will definitely recommend you to others.

The pictures below are of the fire pit on the roof top of the Marriott in downtown San Diego in the Gas Lamp District on the 24th floor, very cool view if your ever there. The 2 half round 24" x 48" stainless steel rings were made custom for this fire pit. The glass that was used was a 50/50 mix of Starfire Base Glass and Black Base Glass. Very nice effect along with the view.

The fire pit below is in Glendale, Arizona at the Renaissance Hotel. We installed an electronic ignition with a 30" stainless steel ring. The glass use was a Clear Base Glass with Starfire Base Glass on top and topped with 42 lbs of Apricot Topper. These pictures were taken with the edges still exposed which were covered by a layer of Starfire Base Glass.

The fireplace below is the fireplace of "Bill" and he wasn't sure where the burners went. So he put them on top and as you can see he should of put them under the glass.
bill hall 1
Bill ordered a rectangular pan and it would of looked better if we would of built a trapezoid shape pan to contour the fireplace. Bill did drop his burners under the glass. This was a propane ventless conversion. Looks much better than those log thingies! Hopefully Bill will send us pictures of it finished and burning, maybe. We used Starfire Base Glass in the pan.

The fireplace below has a stainless steel pan installed with a ribbon burner. The front legs of the pan are 4" round brushed legs with our standard legs in the back. Here you can see the different flame patterns of our ribbon burner. We then installed a brushed aluminum surround.
