Product of the Month: Eldorado Stone Outdoor Artisan Fire Bowls provide warmth, distinctive style and ease of use

Outdoor entertaining tends to wane as the weather cools. But now, thanks to the introduction of its all-new collection of Eldorado Outdoor Artisan Fire Bowls, Eldorado Stone is providing homeowners and trade professionals with a design option that will take the edge off of chilly evenings. Delivering warmth and distinctive style, these handcrafted creations bring the natural look and elegance of crafted limestone to any setting—a hallmark of Eldorado Stone, creator of the world's most believable architectural stone veneer. From traditional landscapes to modern outdoor designs, the Artisan Fire Bowls complement virtually all outdoor spaces. Perfect for commercial applications as well, the Artisan Fire Bowls provide great entertainment and conversation spaces for residents and guest uses within apartment complexes, retirement communities and long term stay hotels. Made from glass-reinforced concrete, this chic line of products are hand-sanded through a four-step finishing process, rendering each Artisan Fire Bowl a true one-of-a-kind creation, with subtle variations in color and texture similar to natural limestone. They're as functional as they are beautiful, incorporating 65,000 British Thermal Unit (BTU) gas burners that provide ample heat on cool nights. The Artisan Fire Bowls are available in two styles; the Infinite and the Marbella. And are available in four distinct colors; Oak Barrel, Oyster Shell, Black Sand, and Aged Teak. These colors are then offered in two surface finishes, the smooth-textured Honed and the deeper, more weathered, Travertine finish. Choose from the timeless Marbella, perfect for traditional landscapes, or the Infinite, with its clean, modern lines. Since each is available in two finishes and four colors, there's a combination to suit any taste or style. Each Artisan Fire Bowl comes complete with lava rock and gas components that are CSA-certified for outdoor use in both the U.S. and Canada for either liquid propane or natural gas. A durable Brazilian hardwood cover is available as an option to transform the Fire Bowl into a stylish table when not in use.
