ABSTRACT:
A process for making an artificial mineral or ceramic fiber log representation having areas of enhanced thermal texturing that can be used in gas fireplaces to simulate the burning of real wood logs. The process uses a screen mold having simulated wood pattern elements to impart a realistic exterior surface to the artificial log and thermal reactive textured surface areas applied to said screen mold. A slurry of mineral fibers is injected under pressure into the mold forcing excess water therethrough leaving the fibers impinged within the mold. The log thus formed is dried in an oven and processed for additional decorative coatings.
