Fire Glass Use and Care Manual

What is Fire Glass?

Fire glass is tempered glass for use and application in fireplaces and fire pits, as a result it

increases vibrancy, reflection and color. The tempered glass is put through special treatment

that tumbles and polishes the glass to prevent sharp edges and injury. We recommend using

safety gloves or shoveling tool when applying, small pieces of glass may still be present in bag.

The glass is designed to withstand high temperatures without ever melting, burning, discoloring

when used as recommended. It also does NOT create toxic fumes, smoke, ash, soot or other

harmful byproducts.

Cleaning and Care Instructions:

After receiving your bag of tempered fire glass, we recommend a handling process by cleaning

the glass to remove unwanted dust and smaller pieces of glass created through the

manufacturing process. Rinsing off the glass will help ensure that no excess glass or dust is

remaining, then use a towel to allow the glass to dry off for a few hours. Once the fire glass is

clean, you are ready for application in use with natural gas or propane fire pits.
