Who is Elementi?
Elementi is a global fire-feature brand built around contemporary silhouettes in architectural materials — GFRC concrete, Italian marble porcelain, and powder-coated steel. The lineup is organized across four collections that cover every residential price tier: Elementi Plus for the premium marble-porcelain finishes that read like designer kitchen countertops; Elementi for the mainstream coffee-table and dining-height formats; Modeno for standalone gas and ethanol fire bowls; and Eco-Fire for ethanol tabletop pieces that need no gas line at all.
GFRC (glass-fiber-reinforced concrete) is the material that defines most of the Elementi lineup — a composite that holds the fine-featured shapes of modern design (slim rectangular tables, low-rise bowls, square columns) at a weight that still ships via standard LTL freight. GFRC handles outdoor freeze-thaw cycles with proper drainage and finishes in multiple colors (slate, cream, light grey, dark grey). The Elementi Plus tier adds a porcelain veneer over the concrete core for the marble-and-granite looks that let the table disappear into a stone patio or stand up to a glass-and-metal modern design.
The outdoor-furniture extensions (coffee tables, dining tables, bar tables with integrated fire features) make Elementi one of the few brands that treats fire as a furniture category rather than an appliance category. A standard round fire bowl works as a fire feature anywhere; an Elementi bar-height fire table doubles as the drink station for a cocktail party. The Modeno sub-line keeps standalone fire bowls in a more traditional format — round, mid-century silhouettes — for buyers who want fire as its own object rather than furniture-integrated.
At a glance
What Elementi prioritizes
GFRC + marble porcelain
Glass-fiber-reinforced concrete across the mainstream line, marble porcelain veneers on the Elementi Plus premium tier. The material pair that reads as modern residential architecture.
Four tiered collections
Elementi Plus (porcelain premium), Elementi (coffee and dining tables), Modeno (standalone gas + ethanol bowls), Eco-Fire (ethanol tabletop). Every residential price tier covered.
Fire as furniture
Dining-height, bar-height, and coffee-height fire tables that double as outdoor furniture — not just fire features sitting on a patio. Design-forward silhouettes integrate into contemporary spaces.
Freeze-thaw stable
GFRC handles outdoor temperature cycling with proper drainage. Multiple color finishes (slate, cream, light grey, dark grey) hold up across seasons in continental climates.
When Elementi is the wrong choice
Elementi is engineered for buyers who prioritize build quality and longevity over upfront price. If you're buying a first grill under $1,500, or a fire feature for a rental property, or any use case where you expect to upgrade within three years, the premium Elementi commands over mass-market alternatives won't earn back. The brand is at its best when the ownership horizon is 10+ years, when the install is permanent, and when matched components (vent hood, refrigeration, side burners) are part of the plan.
How Elementi stacks up head-to-head
Elementi — the questions buyers actually ask
What's the difference between Elementi, Elementi Plus, and Modeno?
Three sub-lines, one brand. Elementi is the mainstream line — GFRC concrete fire tables in coffee, dining, and bar heights with the Elementi silhouette. Elementi Plus adds a marble porcelain veneer over a concrete core, which gives you high-end stone looks that read like premium kitchen countertops — same shapes, more premium material and finish. Modeno is the standalone fire bowl line — mid-century round silhouettes, both gas-fueled and ethanol-fueled, sold as independent objects rather than furniture-integrated pieces.
What is GFRC concrete and how does it perform outdoors?
GFRC (glass-fiber-reinforced concrete) is a concrete composite where glass fibers replace traditional steel rebar reinforcement. The result is lighter and holds finer features than standard concrete, which is why Elementi can make slim rectangular tables and low-profile bowls that would be too fragile in plain concrete. GFRC handles freeze-thaw cycles well with proper drainage (keep the burner tray draining freely, don't let water pool). Expect a 15-20+ year service life in most residential installations.
Can I use an ethanol Eco-Fire tabletop indoors?
Yes — ethanol fire pieces produce no smoke and need no venting, which makes the Eco-Fire tabletop line usable both indoors and out. Ethanol combustion still consumes room oxygen, so observe sensible ventilation (don't run in a sealed closet-sized room). Outdoors, ethanol pieces work in any weather but burn at lower effective BTU than gas-fueled fire features — think ambiance over heat.
What's the lead time on an Elementi fire table?
Standard-stock Elementi tables typically ship within 1-2 weeks and arrive via LTL freight in 2-5 business days of transit. Elementi Plus pieces in the premium porcelain finishes can run 3-5 weeks from order given the lower stock depth on those SKUs. Custom color or dimension requests add 4-8 weeks. Confirm shipping lead time at checkout; we'll update you with the manufacturer's current ETA before you commit.
Do Elementi fire tables work with natural gas and propane?
Yes — most Elementi gas tables are available in either natural gas (NG) or liquid propane (LP) configurations, and most are field-convertible with a manufacturer orifice kit. Specify at order when possible; retrofit requires pulling the burner, swapping orifices, and re-certifying per your local gas code. Residential gas-line installations generally require a licensed gas fitter.
How heavy is an Elementi fire table?
Weight varies significantly by table size and material. Standard GFRC tables in the 42-48" range run 180-260 lbs. Larger 60-72" tables run 320-450 lbs. Elementi Plus pieces are usually slightly heavier because of the porcelain veneer. Weigh your delivery and patio-foundation plan up front: GFRC tables ship via LTL curbside freight (not into-your-garage white-glove), and heavier tables need at least two people and a dolly to position safely.
