Fire pits are rapidly growing in popularity with homeowners in the Grand Rapids area. As landscaping features, they offer a gorgeous focal point, a pleasing area for conversation and a great place to stay warm on chilly evenings outdoors. If you’re considering getting one yourself, you’ll want your fire pit to be pleasing to the eye, long lasting and strong enough to withstand harsh weather conditions and the humidity of the Great Lakes region. With a fire pit from Unilock, you’re assured all of these things and more. Let’s take a look at why a Unilock fire pit is your best option.
The look and feel of natural stone
With a Unilock fire pit, you’re assured an aesthetic that perfectly replicates the natural appearance and texture of natural stone. These products have been cast from hundreds of unique molds to ensure a vertical surface that never repeats itself. Authentic color pigments with a range of surface treatments and color stay protection create a block with rich, natural coloring that lasts. In its varied finish and authentic stacked slate appearance, Rivercrest Wall in Coastal Slate or Buff is the perfect example of a wall system indistinguishable from its natural stone counterpart.
The durability and strength of concrete
While invaluable additions to any family-centered backyard, fire features can pose a hazard if not constructed from durable and fire-resistant materials. Along with the perfect combination of unique, textured surfaces and varied, authentic colors, Unilock fire pits offer the structural strength and durability of concrete to ensure a fire pit that will not split, crack or splinter.
