Rekindle the romance with a unique alternative to gas logs, or wood in fireplaces. Fire on Ice is the brainchild of Mark Georgantas. He had a compelling reason to find a substitute for gas logs: his son Behron. "Behron, was just a toddler at the time, and I wanted him to have the healthiest environment possible. I was concerned about him breathing the paraffin residue from molded pressed logs, as well as the fire risk by flying embers from real wood.
Fire on Ice is a revolutionary product that is expanding and growing everyday. Mark explains, "First I patented the glass formulation and the application itself. Then I settled on calling it Fire on Ice and launched it in early 2000. I placed the first ads in March, and the phone hasn’t stopped ringing since. Sales have skyrocketed in just eight months."
Ergo, Fire on Ice was formed in 1999 and incorporated December 2000. Fire on Ice , Inc., primary product is the internationally patented Fire on Ice glass which is currently available in seven (7) distinct colors; diamond/clear, bronze/citrine, gray/hematite, blue/tanzanite, green/jade. The expanded product line includes; proprietary burner assemblies, specially formulated high temperature paint, wood scented and aromatherapy heat activated oils, fire CD’s sounds, (BTU) regulators, wireless remotes, timers and very soon, custom designed fireplace systems.
There’s no upkeep involved, the colorants in the glass are not thermo chromic. (Affected by heat) and will last as long as your fireplace if not longer. Fire on Ice never loses it color, and it’s perfectly safe because it’s not sharp. You can literally pick it up, squeeze it, and run your hands through it. Just rake it with your hand to clean it, or remove the top layer and wash it in a strainer just like veggies. It is similar to safety glass, but I’ve taken it a step further.
Fire on Ice is not seasonal; therefore, it can be enjoyed every season, all year long. Whether you are looking to bring life into your living room on a summer’s night or enjoy a warm fire on a cool night, Fire on Ice is guaranteed to create an atmosphere that everyone can enjoy.
To Create this effect, Fire on Ice certified installers first clean out your existing fireplace - the logs, grates, including the soot and the dirt. The screens and front glass can be removed since there is no risk of any ash nor burning or popping cinders.
The glass pieces conduct heat so your fireplace will warm your entire room. Fire on Ice generates 2-7 times more clean heat than gas logs and uses far less natural gas to achieve this heat, so it is energy and cost-efficient.
Where is Fire on Ice Today? " It’s taken off and ready for orbit." Mark grins. "As a matter of fact, people like the product so much, several customers continue to call the company offering ideas and suggestions.
"we’ve installed thousands of Fire on Ice systems. Installations rage from very high profile installations like Dennis Rodman, Wayne Newton, and $5 million Street of Dream homes in Las Vegas to the modest 200k homes in rural USA. The real beauty is that it looks good with any home style or décor.
"I have never seen a product on the market where the customers are as involved in product development as corporate management," says Georgantas. ‘This is quite remarkable & truly flattering."
What about future plans? "Nationwide and global expansion; by the end of 2001 Fire on Ice , will be expanding into the following greater metropolitan areas New York City, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Washington DC, Las Vegas, Denver, Seattle, Portland and Miami," Mark answers. "I’d like to take the company public; I want to replace every gas log on the market and transform every fireplace into a showpiece instead of a pollution pit."
"That may sound like a tall order, but it makes sense when you realize that gas log manufactures have taken traditional wood and replaced it with a product that creates not only odor and soot, but pollution too. Fire on Ice, on the other hand, generates heat and warmth, and it’s elegant, clean and environmentally safe.
"My goal is to make it available to every condo and homeowner and leaser in the world so they can replace the soot and pollution with warmth, beauty and elegance. Just as important, to create an atmosphere that calms, memorizes and rekindles the romance in their lives and the lives of our children."
