How much Fire Glass do I need for my fire feature?
Use our handy fire glass calculator to determine how much fire glass you or your clients will need for your fire feature.
What is the difference between 10 pound bags of fire glass and 10 pound jars of fire glass?
The only difference is the packaging. The fire glass is the exact same. Jars are typically used to display in stores & bags are mostly used for shipping direct.
What types of fuel can be used with American Fire Glass?
Fire glass can be used with natural gas or propane.
Can I use fire glass with my ceramic logs or lite stone balls?
Do not place anything above the fire glass, that traps more heat, and the glass can fuse to itself.
Can I use recycled glass indoors?
Recycled Fire Pit Glass is for outdoor use only.
What is the difference between Premium and Classic Fire Glass?
Premium and Reflective are the same thing, it is made from colored glass with a mirrored finish on one side of each piece. Classic Fire Glass is colored glass without a mirrored finish.
Is the Luster Finish the same as the Premium Reflective?
Luster is different than premium/reflective, the luster coating resembles oil on water.
What type of glass works best with propane?
¼” will work with propane, but we recommend larger sizes of fire glass due to propane being heavier than air and the larger pieces give the gas less resistance.
Why Wash/Rinse with 50/50 White Vinegar and Water?
This will avoid water spots and helps to break down ‘soot’ residue.
Do I cover the burner with fire glass?
YES, a burner should NEVER be used unless it is completely covered. A 1/4" diameter media base is strongly recommended to cover the burner before applying the final topping. The media should cover the burner by about 1/2" to 1" before the final topping is added. Our small lava rock works best. Operating a burner without proper coverage can cause warpage and possible permanent damage to the burner and burner pan. This will also void the warranty on the product.
Black exudes power, grace and a timelessly formal sense of style. It is a color that is known to absorb all negative energies and give a touch of class to almost any color scheme. When you add black to any presentation, get ready for a sensational display worth remembering.
American Fire Glass' 1/2” black fire glass is the perfect choice for both indoor and outdoor fire features. When set alight, the flames seem to dance upon the seemingly wet glass in a display of stunning contrast, immediately becoming the focus of all conversations.
A More Efficient and Practical Alternative to Ceramic Logs & Stones
Aside from its beauty, our black fire glass will impress your customers with its efficiency and practicality. It produces more heat per unit of gas consumed as compared to many other fire feature products such as ceramic logs, fire stones and lava rocks. It also covers the entire floor of a fire feature, effectively hiding the unseemly pipes and tubes which are often visible in gas fireplaces and fire pits; which is another reason fire glass is more preferable to ceramic logs and stones.
Extremely Durable, Safe & Long Lasting!
All our fire glass is made from high quality, non-tumbled tempered glass and has been designed to withstand harsh weather and temperatures of up to 1300 degrees Fahrenheit without ever cracking, or losing its color or shape. This amazing product will bring joy to your customers and their guests for many years without losing its aesthetic appeal.
Another significant advantage of our 1/2” black fire glass is that it does not emit any toxic fumes, smoke, or ash, so it is extremely easy to maintain and clean!
