Fire And Spice at the Sheraton

New restaurant at the Phoenix Airport Sheraton had plans to have a fireplace built for the patio seating area. After we started building this thing we realized we might be building one of the largest fireplaces in the valley .
Rustic Ledge stone Sequoia is being used to cover the block.

Stone is lightly grouted and the fire brick is installed. After a thorough wash down to remove dust, a clear concrete sealer is applied to the hearth and concrete caps.

The King of Barber-Que's

This 20 foot BBQ was built at a Troon North home for a customer that really enjoys being outside and grilling !  This was built using concrete block , we incorporated this large boulder to give it a piece of Troon right in the BBQ. The counter top is made of concrete then we overlayed the counter top with a high strength acrylic cement to customize the surface. The counter was given a chiseled edge and a stone grain surface . A 6 burner stainless steel grill was used in this unit , we also installed a small refrigerator , stainless steel sink, plus storage draws . Last but not least to this monster outdoor kitchen , we added a wood pergola which we stained black to pick up the black in the native boulders.

After grinding the surface we also pressure wash and de-grease surface to insure a clean prepped surface.  At this point the surface is ready for many different options. Such as concrete stain and sealer, stamped overlay, stencil overlays or a high quality, deep penetrating concrete paint. Or the concrete can be resurfaced to bring it back to its original state or but be left the way it is.
