How We Handcraft Your Custom Fire Table
Creating a custom fire table is a blend of artistry, precision, and craftsmanship. Every piece is uniquely tailored to meet the needs and preferences of our clients. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the process that transforms raw materials into a beautiful, functional fire table.
1. Crafting the Mold
The process begins with designing and building a mold based on your specific dimensions and design preferences.
- Materials Used: Fiberglass, wood, foam, and silicone rubber are carefully selected to shape the mold creatively and ensure the perfect fit for your vision.
2. Casting with GFRC Composite Concrete
Once the mold is complete, we pour Glass Fiber Reinforced Concrete (GFRC) into it.
- Why GFRC? This advanced concrete is as workable as potter’s clay, allowing us to create intricate, thin shapes without compromising strength or durability.
- Preparation Matters: We carefully balance the mix to ensure the ideal combination of sturdiness and workability.
3. Curing for Strength and Longevity
After casting, the fire table is left to cure for several days.
- Temperature Control: Heating blankets are used to regulate the curing process and prevent cracks or warping.
- Why Curing is Critical: Proper curing ensures the fire table’s durability and even finish.
4. Finishing with Precision
Once cured, the fire table is removed from the mold and refined for a flawless look.
- Polishing: We use special diamond polishing pads to create a smooth, appealing surface.
- Sealing: A high-performance, all-weather sealer is applied to protect the table from the elements and enhance its durability.
5. Adding the Final Touches
The last step involves assembling the fire table with care and attention to detail.
- Burner Installation: A premium burner is added to ensure reliable performance.
- Decorative Elements: We fill the table with decorative lava stone.
- Inspection and Testing: Every table is thoroughly inspected and tested to ensure it meets our high standards before delivery.
