Now for the two 11 foot fireplaces. They were constructed of #5052 grade aluminum with a special heat resistant powder coating and special technique of brushing that creates the metal to have an amazing reflection of the flames.   The end result was awesome!  As if they are dancing on the back panel; we even got the flames to reflect at the top of the fireplace.

Now we added glass (Starfire Base Glass) and watch the flames and there reflections.  Do you see the upper reflection? Now how long do think it will be before the fireplace industry knocks this one off? With what we know and what we have done, I don't think they are smart enough. By the time the industry figures this one out, we will have already moved on creating and giving you new and exciting products.

The pieces are finished with their element of Red places on their base.
