Concrete Fire Features by Prism Hardscapes

Though primarily seen paved onto the ground as sidewalks and propped up as the underlying support for building infrastructures, concrete has been making notable strides within the rooms of residential and commercial spaces. Last year, we saw an increase in demand for fire pits constructed of this material--and we don't expect it to slow down. Concrete's dominance in 2019 is most likely--in large part--due to its subtle, yet versatile nature. Prism Hardscapes--a brand that captures the very essence of simplicity and class raved by the modern minimalist--offers a variety of concrete fire pits, fire bowls, and fire columns that'll accentuate any outdoor living space.

 

Visionary Design Meets Craftsmanship

_{Prism Hardscape's fire features are crafted with a high-performance mixture known as glass fiber reinforced cement.}

Devoted to creating long-lasting products designed to stand the test of time, Prism Hardscapes masters the design principles of modernism and minimalism and incorporates them with unparalleled craftsmanship. Their fire features are hand molded by expert artisans with their unique blend of glass fiber reinforced cement, or GFRC for short, which is a special high-performance blend of cement fortified with glass fibers. Though more expensive than its conventional concrete counterparts, GFRC's price point is attributed by its exceptional quality, durability, and structural integrity. Let’s delve more into those features.

 

Benefits of GFRC Concrete

GFRC's tensile strength derives from its glass fiber mixture. Compared to standard concrete, it is lighter in weight but much tougher and stronger. Since it doesn't require an internal steel reinforcement less cement material is needed, and it’s significantly more versatile for shaping, opening endless design capabilities. Plus, it is easier to maintain. With a lower vulnerability against impact and a higher resilience against moisture and the elements, it's not hard to see why Prism Hardscape opts in favor of this material for their fire features.

 

Production Process

Each fire feature undergoes a unique production process that starts by hand packing the GFRC into the corresponding mold. Once the desired shape is achieved, the concrete shell is left to air dry, and is then honed to the classic Prism Hardscapes texture. A stain is then applied to the unit—for all colors except for Natural, which is as you’d expect, the natural concrete hue—and then a cement sealer is applied to the shell so that it retains a colorfast finish and will withstand the abuse of being left outdoors. Because these fire features are individually handcrafted by an expert craftsman, each piece may vary slightly. But that means you're guaranteed to receive a one-of-a-kind work of art.

Concrete offers greater flexibility and design freedom when it comes to style integration and is even suitable for high wind and coastal areas. Though typically recognized by its utilitarian gray shade, the binding properties of concrete allow it to be blended with a variety of pigments. With that, Prism Hardscapes is no stranger to exceling at integrating extra panache into their production process. They offer their fire features in an assortment of colors, as shown above, to fit any space.
