Fire Pits & Tables Are “Better Looking” Than Other Patio Heaters

Friday, January 28th, 2011

There are a number of reasons why fire pits and fire tables have become incredibly popular. One of the biggest reasons is that they offer much more versatility in the looks department than other patio heaters.

Fire Patterns

You have probably seen fire tables with interesting flame patterns at your favorite outdoor bars and upscale restaurants. Today, homeowners can have fire tables with unique flame patterns right in their own backyards. All Backyard Fun offers many wonderful choices.

Plus, you can further customize our fire tables by choosing from a number of beautiful stone and granite table tops. Your fire table will truly reflect your personality and it will add a bold, instantly alluring focal point to your patio area.

Color Diversity

Using fire glass is another great way to add a custom look to fire tables or propane fire pits. You can choose among your favorite colors to add that final personal touch. The glass comes in many shapes and colors, and can last a lifetime if treated properly.

Of course, when it comes to looks, fire glass offers so much more diversity than plain old fire logs. Plus, it has an interesting, modern look that you just can’t get with other patio heaters. Along with this, the inherent luster and reflectiveness of glass is heightened when it is engulfed in flames.

So, if you are in the market for a great backyard patio heater, look no further. See why so many homeowners have chosen outdoor fire pits and fire tables over other options.

3 Accessories To Accompany Fire Pits

Thursday, January 27th, 2011

Your furniture choices can really affect the overall feel of your patio or backyard space. When you choose the right decor you can create a space that feels incredibly warm and inviting. Fire pits are just one accessory that can quickly transform a cold, uninviting backyard into a truly welcoming area.

Furniture

So what else can transform the feel of your backyard? Well, to start, you could just stand around an outdoor fire pit but having seating for you and your guests is so much more comfortable. You can choose from all types of seating, including lounge chairs to benches.

Lounge chairs just scream comfort and benches are great for cozying up with your sweetheart at the end of the day–many benches also include built in storage under the seat. You can incorporate either of these pieces with your other outdoor decor. Just add a few beautiful cushions and you and your guests can enjoy the warmth of an outdoor fire in comfort.

Ice Buckets

Outdoor fire pits often become the center focal point of backyard entertainment areas. If you love to entertain outdoors then having drinks right on hand is a great perk. Ice buckets are great accessories to have in this case. Today, many ice buckets actually come in cool styles that add an element of design to backyard spaces (just check out our awesome ice bucket insert options!). Plus, they will keep your drinks refreshing cool.

Fire Glass

Another must have accessory that adds to the allure of fire pits is fire glass. This accessory is actually a great replacement for traditional fire wood and artificial logs. It is an Eco-friendly choice that provides a great alternative to messy fire logs. It comes in a wide range of gorgeous colors which you can mix and match. For example, you can combine orange and red glass to emulate the color of glowing coals, or you can use blue and green glass to create a fascinating modern look. You can check out the fire glass section of our website to see just how many colors are available.

Oriflamme Fire Pits a Great Fit for Generation Y

Thursday, January 20th, 2011

MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA January 2011—-The Oriflamme Fire Table will be the perfect outdoor option for the nearly 80 million young people who make up Generation Y—those who were born between 1980 and the early 2000’s.

Why and how?

According to the Wall Street Journal, January 13, 2011, the real estate analysts at the NAHB (National Home Builder’s Association) conference in Orlando, Florida clearly indicated that Gen Y is not interested in mansions or big lawns to mow. More of them will choose to live in urban areas or urban like areas in the suburbs.

They are seeking smaller spaces, dining, and amenities within walking distance, and outdoor spaces to grill or spend time with friends.

For example, Tony Weremeichik of Canin Associates, an architecture firm in Orlando, suggested “outdoor fire pits”. He said, “Consider designing outdoor spaces as if they were living rooms.”

The Oriflamme Gas Fire Pits are the answer for Generation Y.

Unique, customizable and portable fire pits are perfect for entertaining or quiet evenings on decks or patios.

Generation Y will discover the beauty and ambiance of designed fire that truly fits their preferred lifestyle with the Oriflamme Fire Pit Table.

Fire Tables are ECO Friendly

Thursday, January 13th, 2011

Real wood and artificial wood logs are rapidly being replaced by a hot accessory known as fire glass. Fire glass is a great product that is being used as an alternative to log products in fireplaces and fire pits. It also beautifully ornaments the top surface of fire tables. Read on to see why fire glass is a far better product for you to use in- or outside of your home.

Real Wood
This traditional option poses many problems for its users. It produces excess smoke and fumes, and it is a big contributor to air pollution. Above all, the particulate matter released when real wood burns is not only hazardous to the environment but also to people’s health. It is what causes runny noses, itchy eyes, and other common irritations that people experience when around smoke. In addition to this, it is vitally dangerous for people with heart and lung diseases to inhale particulate matter as it greatly aggravates these conditions.

Artificial Wood
While artificial logs are a far better choice than real wood, they are still not the most ideal product to use in fire pits or fireplaces. They produce less carbon dioxide and particulate matter, but fire glass does not produce any of these things at all. Artificial logs are made of chemicals and can be dangerous if not handled carefully. There are known cases where intense flare ups where reported if the logs were accidentally split or jabbed through the surface. They have also been known to contain asbestos fibers.

Fire Glass
In short, fire glass offers beautiful looks, diverse color and shape options, and far more safety than real or artificial wood logs. It is an Eco-friendly choice and a health-wise choice. The glass does not emit any fumes, smoke, particulate matter, soot, ash, debris, or odors. And unlike real and artificial wood, fire glass can be used for a lifetime if handled correctly. This is because it  is composed of “tempered” glass which can withstand extreme temperatures so it does not melt or discolor.

Fire glass is also a popular option because of its contemporary looks. It has the appearance of glittering jewels and when surrounded by flames its lustrous contours are highlighted. If you decide to make the switch to this product just keep in mind that it can only be used with gas units. If you have a wood burning unit you can easily have it converted to gas and then you can start picking out fire glass for your fire pit or fireplace.
