How Do I Use Fire Glass?
Pour fire glass into your fireplace or fire pit to make your fire even more eye-catching. It is made of smooth tempered glass that poses little risk of breaking or injury. When used as directed, fire glass does not burn or melt, nor does it give off fumes or smoke.
Will Fire Glass Work with My Device?
Fire glass is intended for use in gas fireplaces and fire pits. Ditch the standard fake log and use fire glass for a more elegant, ethereal look. It can be used both indoors and outdoors, in fireplaces, fire pits, and fire tables. You can also use them for other home decor projects, landscaping, and aquariums.
What Else Do I Need to Know?
Fire glass works equally well in vented and non-vented fireplaces. However, the non-vented fireplace must have an approved vent-free burner system.
What Kind of Gas Works Best With Fire Glass?
You can use either propane or natural gas. Keep in mind that propane will leave a dark residue on your glass, so you will need to clean it fairly often.
How Many Types of Fire Glass Are There?
Fire glass comes in a variety of sizes and colors. Some common sizes are 1/4 inch, 1/2 inch, and 1 - 2 inches. It comes in assorted textures, finishes, and shine levels, so you can customize your fireplace. You can choose a bright, bold jewel tone or subtle earth and water shades.
Does It Present Any Safety Concerns?
Fire Glass has been tempered to remove any sharp chips or edges. It is not merely broken glass. The pieces are smooth and uniform in size.
How Often Will I Have to Replace It?
When handled properly, fire glass will last as long as your fireplace. It will not melt, burn, break, or pop under intense heat. It creates no soot, ash, or smoke. On rare occasion, pieces may break if they are not handled delicately.
Can I Use Regular Glass Instead?
No, regular glass is not safe in fireplaces and fire pits. Normal glass pops and breaks when exposed to fire. Some types of glass have been processed in ways that cause them to melt, turn black, or give off unpleasant odors when they are burned. Never place objects in your fireplace if they have not been expressly manufactured for that purpose.
How Do I Keep My Fire Glass Smooth and Shiny?
Fire glass does not require much maintenance. You can use your own judgment to determine whether your glass needs to be cleaned. To wash your fire glass, simply rinse it with dish detergent.
Does Fire Glass Affect My Fireplace's Heat Output?
Adding fire glass to a burner pan causes the fireplace to produce 200% to 300% more heat. The heat pours out evenly and constantly, as it is not hampered by the likes of a fake log. Using fire glass increases the efficiency of your fireplace or fire pit.
