10 Reasons to Choose a Solus Decor Fire Pit

Solus Decor’s fire pits reside in some of the finest homes, restaurants, commercial interiors and resorts around the world. As experts at creating design solutions for fire features, including outdoor fire pits and fireplace surrounds, we think you deserve to know what sets us apart from our competitors. Solus’ attention to detail not only provides you with a superior product in appearance, but also functionality and longevity.

1. Concrete formulas that produce the best concrete in the industry

Not all concrete is created equal. Concrete comparisons are not unlike diamonds, olive oil or single malt whiskies. There are your lower end and lessor quality concrete designs and there are ones that have been chosen for their taste, appearance, quality and hand crafted with special care. When it comes to concrete, we design the smoothest, highest quality variety.

2. Fire pits that are 100 % certified as an appliance

At first glance, most fire pits appear fully certified as they will tell you that their burner is certified. However, full certification and burner certification are not the same thing. In fact, many US states and Canadian provinces require the entire appliance to be certified as a unit – this includes the concrete and and all the attachments to it, not just the burner.  Think of other appliances in your home – it would be foolish if the elements on your stove were the only “certified” item on your stove.  It is also important to consider that many regulatory authorities will deny you a permit without certification of the entire fire pit.  California, Washington, Massachusetts, NY, British Columbia, Ontario and Alberta are all examples of this.

3. Silk/satin like finish

If you compare the concrete of a patio, driveway or competitor’s fire pit, you will notice it is thicker, grittier, rougher and has substantially more ‘bug holes’ or voids. Compare it to ours, and you’ll notice that it has the smoothness of fine silk or leather. As one of our client’s wrote recently, “the finish is like an Apple product with fine finishing, exacting tolerances and well made.”

4. Burners that won’t rust

Solus Decor has the best burners and the best warranty (limited lifetime warranty) in the marketplace. Our fire pits are highly efficient (burn up to 40% less than comparable burners), are more robust and kick out a greater amount of heat. Additionally, other companies typically offer a one-year warranty, while Solus currently guarantees 5 years and are looking to extend our warranty even further!  Our burners are made of brass and for those of you who are mariners, you know what that means.  Brass is the only material that will not rust or corrode when exposed to water. We have all had stainless steel BBQs and know what happens to them after a few years…

5. Safety is paramount!

Our fire pits ship with lava rock and refractory stone (emulates river rock), these refractory stones are made to withstand heat and fire so they will not pop and fly out of the fire pit. Lava rocks on their own are dangerous. Be weary of fire pits with only lava stones. Landscaping or river rocks should also not be used in fire pits as they can be extremely hazardous.

6. A large colour selection to fit your style

We offer 12 beautiful colours which are sure to perfectly match the aesthetic and style of your project . In addition, we coat the surfaces of our fire pits to give them extra resistance to the elements, which is important if you want them to age beautifully.

7. Quick turnaround time

We stock 150 fire pits at any time and therefore can ship within 2-10 business days (depending on the time of year), provided the colour and model you select is in stock.

8. Environmentally-friendly options

For those interested in using bio fuels, we offer ethanol burners which use a renewable, clean burning fuel source. And if you’re looking for more energy efficiency and convenience, a number of our fire pits come with an electronic start and timer so you can be sure it shuts off at a certain time, even when you’re not in the room. This timer is the perfect addition for fire pits in condominium common areas, commercial estates, office buildings, patio rooftop decks, poolside areas and hard-to-access landscaped areas.

9. Aesthetically pleasing accessories

Not only do we offer the most beautiful fire pits in the industry, we also offer many accessories to enhance the experience of using our products. For instance, our propane tank holders that provide simple and modern elegance, designed to create a more cohesive and aesthetically pleasing space. We also offer fire pit covers made of the highest quality, marine grade all weather material on the market, perfect for protecting them from the elements when not in use. And when extra table space is needed, our fire pit table tops are the perfect addition, allowing you to convert your fire pit into extra space for glasses, plates or candles when heat is not needed.

10. Quality first

If Solus products don’t look they way they should, we don’t send them out the door. This goes for all our products – covers to concrete! Our motto has always been quality first, second and third. If it isn’t good enough to be in our showroom, it doesn’t go out the door.

So there you have it. All the reasons why you will love your Solus fire product.
