Simulated fireplace panels

Abstract

A simulated fireplace panel comprises of multiple layers of a mixture of yellow sand and high temperature paint applied by spraying the mixture onto the surfaces of a sheet metal. The surface treatment comprises of the steps of forming grooves on sheet metals that simulate stone surfaces, coating the sheet metal with zinc, applying a mixture of 70 micron yellow sand and high temperature paint in one to one proportion to the surface of the sheet metal by spraying, removing excess accumulated mixture in the grooves in the sheet metal, allowing the mixture on the sheet metal to dry, applying another thin layer of the mixture of 70 micron yellow sand and high temperature paint in one to one proportion to the surface of the sheet metal, allowing the mixture on the sheet metal to dry, applying a thin layer of high temperature paint, and applying a thin final layer of the mixture of 70 micron yellow sand and high temperature paint to the surface of the sheet metal.
