Ice Ice Ice Continued

The fireplace below is typical wood burning fireplace which we see every day. Once uncovered it looks like an incinerator. They are pretty nasty looking with out the fire burning. We like to show the before and after so you know what you really have.

The owners of this fireplace called and told us they couldn't use the fireplace because of the soot (carbon monoxide) (poison) So we redesigned the fireplace with an air vented pan and our FireGlass (Starfire Base Glass and Ice Ice Ice Topper) and now a clean burn! The flames are all above the glass and therefore no more carbon monoxide. Fireplace Shops and dealers won't tell you about this unless you ask, how would you know to ask?

The fire pit below belongs to Chad Haupert. He used an Azurlite Base Glass with Azurlite Reflective Base Glass on top. Then he created a star in the center using Bronze Rust Copper Base Glass with and outline of Ice Ice Ice Topper. We didn't get pictures of the complete pit nor of it burning. But it looks great!

The outdoor 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.

The fireplace pictures below will show how simple and easy it actually is to install. Here are a few comments from J.D. Harriman John. Harriman@dlapiper.com


Subject: More proof of how easy it is to do with Moderustic providing the materials!

We are so happy with our FireGlass fireplaces (we have 3!). It has literally changed our lives in that we can use our fireplaces anytime we want with no worry about
cleaning ashes later on. Even better, the look is so superior to fake logs. All of our friends have been wowed by the look. We always send them your way.

Best regards,

J. D. Harriman


Here we go.  Below you can see how nice it was, NOT!  YUK!

001

 
Below they painted, we always recommend painting the lines first and then painting each brick separately. Using this technique you can eliminate spots.

002

Install the burner. We usually recommend curling the flex line from underneath, but this works as well if your flex line is long enough. The reason for the flex line: it allows you to move the burner forward to prevent the flames from hitting the back wall.

003

Below the lava has been poured and test the flame pattern.

004

Pour the glass from the front going to the back. You can use a cup or pour from the bucket.

005

Turn it on and you're done!

006

The glass that was used is:
Starfire Base Glass,
1 lb of Gold Base Glass,
Amber Diamonds,
Ice Ice Ice Topper for one simple but nice fireplace!

The next fireplace was installed by Tracey Watson. She used a Starfire Base Glass, added Gold Base Glass, Ice Ice Ice Topper and topped it with 4" Black Terra Cotta Fire Balls. Now for the bad part: Always test your burner to insure your flames are in the center and I recommend removing the screens. When you remove the screens, you may want to paint the interior, just a thought!

Now for the after pictures! This was a custom propane burner which was under all of the glass!

This is what Patti had to say:
Hi Ed,
 
Well, it's been about two weeks since I installed the new fireplace, and it is the talk of this sleepy little town. Because of the "Ice Ice Ice Topper" on the top, it has been nicknamed the "Fire and Ice" fireplace. I just placed an order for a pound each of 1/4" Gold Base GlassYellow Amber Topper and Clear Ice Ice Ice Topper. I think it needs a smidgen more color, and since the ice is the big feature, I decided to add a little more. I have to say, I didn't think I would like the Ice, but it looks amazing!
 
Thank you Ed and Jimmy for all of your help and hand holding over the past few months. I will take more pictures when I add the new products.
 
Thanks again,
 
Patti

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!


The Fire pit/ Fireplace is in the entry, pretty cool.

Subject: My new fireplace


Ed we love our new fireplace!!
Wow, it is awesome and couldn't have been easier to set up. Made the
purchase late Friday and it took me approx 2 hrs Saturday (while watching
TV) to set up properly including paint and clean up.
I did run into a small problem with the material continuously falling out of
the fireplace . It seemed that I actually used too much material. I was able
to resolve the problem by utilizing the original glass door frame as a
decorative and very functional stop. It is held in place with clear silicon
and the material was allowed to contact and dry into the silicon. ( see pics
) In my case this worked out well as my accent color is gold and so is the
trim piece of the frame. I imagine this can be done on many fireplaces and
the trim can be painted is needed to match. Feel free to use our pictures or
the idea about the trim ( if it is original ) on your web site or sales
presentations.


Thank you again

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 GlassAzurlite Base GlassCranberry-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 fireplace below is in Beverly Hills California.
We use a Black Base Glass with Clear Ice Ice Ice Topper on top. The customer wanted to use their original burner to keep the flames localized in the center area. This fireplace goes from "Log Ugly" to very nice and contemporary in about an hour. If you really take a look at your fireplace place in the beginning it almost looks like an incinerator for long ago.

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!

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, thermocouple, pilot light and air mixer. The glass that was use is:
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

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.

 Teh story of POOR ELLIOT!

 

The fire pit below is filled with lava rock and then was topped with a base of Clear Base Glass. Then they covered the Clear Base Glass with Azurlite Base Glass and topped it with a few Ice Ice Ice Topper cubes. A funny story comes with this fire pit. Elliott came out from the San Fernando Valley as he was sent by his mother, which was tooooo busy to come out herself. She told Elliott to pick out the colors he liked which he did (he was told to pick Amber colors). He went home with Amber and Gold and set up the fire pit which actually looked very nice. Well to his demise his mother did not like Amber Base Glass at all! She made Elliott pick out all of the Amber Base Glass and replace it with what you see here. Yes we did exchange the glass for him to prevent his mother from further punishing Elliott. We will post the Amber Base Glass pictures when we come across them in our files.

You have to try to understand, we see this transformation everyday and we still don't understand the lure to fake logs, do you? Take a closer look at your fireplace, is there anything nice about it in the daylight?

We used an 18" double stainless steel burner and a bed of Starfire Base Glass topped with a few pounds of our Ice Ice Ice Topper.
This is a very simple self installation as you will see.

The fire table below was built for Dr. Ramsey Burton in Kentucky. We are going to show you from beginning in the shop to the finished product that Ramsey envisioned for his patio. Ramsey did a wonderful job in planing, building and execution of this project. The glass he used was a Starfire Base Glass with Ice Ice Ice Topper on top. Here we go:
Burton Fire Table 34
This was the lay out for the table to come!
Burton Fire Table 33
Burton Fire Table 32
these were the pictures we sent Ramsey after assembly and testing of the fire bowl, water pumps and fibre optics. The glass we tested with usually is our Multi Mix Base Glass. It tends to show off many colors and always looks great.

The fire pit below belongs to Chad Haupert. He used an Azurlite base with Azurlite Reflective Base Glass on top. Then he created a star in the center using Bronze Rust Copper Base Glass with and out line of Ice Ice Ice Topper. We didn't get pictures of the complete pit nor of it burning. But it looks great!

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

and now the fire.

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.

This next fireplace was done with lack of knowledge! First they installed a 18" single burner and some real interesting choices of glass. What they did do correct is have a 3" sand bed under their yuk glass. The first issue we repaired was the stub out on the left side of the fireplace floor. All we did was install a 90 degree elbow and connect a 1/2" flex line to the new double 24" burner. They had left the flex pointing in the air and then reduced it to a 3/8" line and to top that off added they very sad single 18" burner. We repainted their futile attempt (of painting) with dark metallic brown, added 10 lbs of sand and poured 75 lbs of Starfire Base Glass over the new burner and sand filler. We will explain as we move forward:

Below you can see the black marks under the paint. 

PS Convert 3

Below you can see the flex line that was installed was left above the surface. Now if we tried that I think our customers would take us out and string us up, what do you think? To top it off this customer was an attorney! Completely happy with what we did. 

PS Convert 4

Here is the new paint on the back walls. 

PS Convert 5

Now we added the Starfire Base Glass. One thing we have been doing a little bit different is to bring the glass out from the front of the fireplace. We let the glass come out of the fireplace from 3 to 6 inches to make it look even more grand. What do you think? The fireplace below was installed with a dual battery operated 100,000 BTU propane electronic ignition system. Each capable of 100,000 BTU's of fire. The first pictures show what we had to work with and how it progressed.

The glass that was used was Starfire Base GlassGold Base  and Ice Ice Ice Topper.

The tables below were made for the Marriott in Boise Idaho
Marriott Hotel Boise Idaho
marriot 1
This is a proto type fire table that when finished will be wrapped in wire and finished in smooth high heat concrete mix with a 48" fire bowl in the middle. There will be a 6" brushed metal finished edge to cover under table lights. The table is 60" wide and 24" tall. These will be delivered to Boise Idaho, Marriott Corp. We will post finished pictures as soon as we can.
marriot 3
A brushed finish 8" edge was added along with a touch sensor to turn the lights on under the table. It is a 3 position sensor (high, medium and low).
Now the high heat concrete is applied and shaped.
As it turns out there is a 36" triple ring under the lava rock and we are down sizing it to a 24" double ring. As you can see when the wind blows the fire get a little bit close to the edge.
If you had a drink near the edge it would be a little bit warmer now. The sides will be dropped about 3 inches and the center raised about 3" and a 24" ring will finish it off. We will post the pictures of the glass and ICE ICE ICE Topper when it is installed in a few days.
Here are the finished table pictures
We use Clear Base Glass with lots of our ICE ICE ICE Topper!

It's hard to see but we did install Ice on top of the Starfire Base Glass. If you noticed we had to pile a small mound in the front to cover the massive pipe connection. Did you even notice it in the first few pictures?

With the surround it makes the fireplace and the room. We are proud of our inventions because it makes our customers happy.

Now filled with lava rock (crushed 1/4" 3/8") over 3/8" 1/2" crushed. Remember the larger lava rock is under the smaller lava rock;  to keep the glass from falling through.  

A flex line is then installed to raise the metal fire ring to the surface. You don't want to leave the metal fire ring at the bottom.  (Well, unless you want an explosion or if you want to get rid of the significant other.)

Pour more crushed lava into a fire pit to make the desired shape and then test the burner ring for flame pattern.

Now for the AFTER pictures! This was a custom propane burner which was under all of the glass!

patti 5patti 4
This is what Patti had to say:

Hi Ed,
Well, it's been about two weeks since I installed the new fireplace, and it is the talk of this sleepy little town. Because of the "Ice Ice Ice Topper" on the top, it has been nicknamed the "Fire and Ice" fireplace. I just placed an order for a pound each of 1/4" Gold Base GlassYellow Amber Topper and Clear Ice Ice Ice Topper. I think it needs a smidgen more color, and since the Ice is the big feature, I decided to add a little more. I have to say, I didn't think I would like the ice, but it looks amazing!
Thank you Ed and Jimmy for all of your help and hand holding over the past few months. I will take more pictures when I add the new products.

Thanks again,
Patti

We filled the bottom with pea gravel and the covered it with sand.

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! 

The fireplace below is in San Diego, California and the colors used were:
and a little bit of Ice Ice Ice Topper on top
wow!


The end pictures show that the burner was too close the wall which was an easy fix by moving the burner forward.

We use a piece of stainless steel in the front to contain the glass to cover the burners and keep the glass level.

 

The fireplace below is in Glendale Hills California.  We installed Starfire Base Glass as a base with about 1 lb of Ice Ice Ice topper on top. Then to finish it off we installed a brass surround with bronze frosted glass. The customer loved it! She is the CEO of Fredrick's of Hollywood! Awesome house by the way.

The Orange R140 Topper is actually one of our chameleons, it turns to bright red when it gets hot and then changes back!

Our Copper Blue Topper is a chameleon as well. It turns to green and changes back to blue when cooled!
