3 Important Tips and Trends For Use And Enjoyment of Today’s Fire Tables
The latest trend in entertainment furnishings are fire tables. Know the facts that can keep the experience safe and enjoyable.
1. Read,Understand & Recognize Safe Operation and Use…
While making advancements in the designs of fire features, manufacturers are also enhancing the education factor with more product awareness and information, stronger safety language and the use of QR coding (Quick Response) on product packaging along with etched warnings on products. Better informing yourself on safer operation and use is key to ultimate enjoyment. “We have invested in the visual design of our products, how to use product such as our fire tables more safely such as through the use of detailed illustrations combined with text. We recognize our commitment does not end there,” said Gary Pettitt, owner, Seasonal Living, Austin, Texas. “As a company, we are trying to provide a safer experience while recognizing that fire must always be handled with care and according to manufacturer instructions and warnings. Further, we are creating on-line resources to better support clients and their end customers by providing them with information, images, video footage and other ideas to better educate and inform customers on the correct way to operate and care for their purchases.”
2. Benefit from NEW & Improved Approaches to A SafER Fire Experience …
In recent years, fire feature manufacturers have recognized the need to step up measures for safer use. Benefit from the thorough research like that done by Seasonal Living for their fire tables, into fuel options and fire glass.
A fuel with non-flashback properties and a fire glass that addresses thermal shock and possible explosive properties are leading to a safer, while sustainable, fire experience on quality interior and exterior fire tables. Extensive research has discovered the products that deliver safety.
“Super” Fire Fuel …
Super.Bio.FuelTM, is a NEW safer alternative to Ethanol fuels. In fact, none of the fire feature tables that Seasonal Living currently offers operate with Ethanol. The burners are not designed to use Ethanol ONLY Super.Bio.Fuel. Designed specifically for ventless fireplaces; but also usable in fire pots and wicked devices is a safe and sustainable choice from www.lumina.com. With a plant-based configuration, Super.Bio.FuelTM delivers greener and safer attributes. The facts…
* Non-flammable resulting in safer handling properties.
* Requires an ignition / heat source at 200oF to burn. Pouring Super.Bio.FuelTM into a burning flame only results in putting out the fire and does not create an opportunity for flash-back.
* Super.Bio.FuelTM does not generate harmful exhaust or odor as the only exhaust is CO2 + water vapor, similar to amounts in human exhalation. This fuel also has little to no nasty odors or fumes.
* As a clean burning fuel, facilities utilizing Super.Bio.FuelTM in fire features can realize cost savings as well as longer periods between refilling.

A “Schott” in the Glass…
A German manufacturer, SCHOTT, and their ROBAX® – Transparent Ceramic Fireplace Glass provides a safer experience through extremely heat-resistant fireplace glass. The facts…
* Low thermal expansion results in neither high temperatures (up to 760°C) nor drastic temperature changes harming ROBAX® glass ceramic panels.
* Lessens the occurrence of thermal shock that is common with lesser quality fire glass.
* Protective glass used as a fire guard around a fire feature eliminates explosive occurrences or thermal shock and helps to protect individuals from close contact with the fire.
