Why a comparison makes sense
Fire pits, fire tables and fire bowls look similar at first glance. Nevertheless, there are clear differences in construction, use and design. In addition, not every variant is suitable for every area of use. It is therefore worth taking a closer look before you make your decision.
Fire pit – classic and versatile
A fireplace is the classic place for an open fire. It can be permanently installed or mobile. It also offers a wide choice of materials such as stone, concrete or metal. Its advantages are its versatility and its ability to create a cozy atmosphere. It is therefore ideal for gardens in which the fireplace is a central design element.
Fire table – design and function in one
A fire table combines the warmth and light of a fire with a practical table surface. This makes it the focal point for social gatherings. It is also available with gas, ethanol or wood firing. It creates a stylish ambience, especially on terraces or in lounge areas. It is also available in many shapes and materials, making it easy to adapt to your own style.
Fire bowl – flexible and mobile
A fire bowl is the most flexible option. It is mobile, easy to clean and can be used in different places. It is also suitable for warming as well as cooking or barbecuing. Due to its mobility, it is particularly popular for smaller gardens or rental properties. In addition, it is often cheaper than the other two variants.
Direct comparison
Fire pits are often larger and permanently installed, making them look like a permanent part of the garden. Fire tables combine function with comfort and are ideal for social gatherings. Fire bowls score points for their flexibility and ease of use. The variants also differ in terms of price, design variety and maintenance requirements.
Advantages of all three variants
Regardless of the design, all three offer warmth, light and a special atmosphere. They can also all be used for cooking or barbecuing with the right accessories. Not only in summer, but also in fall and winter, they are an eye-catcher in the outdoor area. That’s why they are interesting for almost any garden or patio.
ELEMENTI models: concrete and marble
At ELEMENTI you will find all three variants – in high-quality materials such as concrete and marble. Concrete models, often made from GFRC, are lightweight, robust and weatherproof. They also have a modern look and match many furnishing styles. Marble models bring a touch of luxury to the outdoor area. Their natural grain makes each piece unique. What’s more, both materials are durable and easy to care for, so you can enjoy them for many years to come.
Concrete – modern and robust
ELEMENTI concrete fireplaces, tables and bowls offer a minimalist, timeless design. They are also resistant to the elements. Thanks to GFRC technology, they are lighter than conventional concrete, which makes them easier to transport. This makes them suitable for private gardens as well as hotels and restaurants.
Marble – noble and unique
Our marble models combine an elegant look with high functionality. In addition, each piece is unique due to its natural grain. Marble stores heat well and thus ensures a pleasant radiant heat. It also combines wonderfully with wood or metal.
Which variant suits you?
If you want a fixed focal point in the garden, the fire pit is ideal. If you want comfort and storage space, choose the fire table. If you need maximum flexibility, the fire bowl is the best choice. At ELEMENTI, you can also choose between concrete and marble to emphasize your personal style.
