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.
What can I use Fire Glass For?
Fire glass is great for home improvement applications to transform your living space and dazzle
your home with a vibrant environment. It is recommended for use in indoor/outdoor fireplaces,
fire tables, fire pits, fire pans, aquariums, landscaping projects, indoor/outdoor decoration and
more.
How Much Fire Glass Do I Need?
Each 10 lb. bag of fire glass can cover approximately 200 cubic inches or 0.5 square feet of
surface area.To calculate how much fire glass you need, follow the instructions below:
Application for:
1. Rectangular Fire Pits (measurements in inches)
○ [(desired fire glass height) x (width) x (length)] / 19 = number of pounds you
need
2. Round Fire Pits (measurements in inches)
○ [(desired fire glass height) x (diameter/2) x (diameter/2) x (3.14)] / 19 = number
of pounds you need
3. Fireplace - (measurements in inches)
○ [(desired fire glass height) x [(front width + back width)/2] x (depth)] / 19 =
number of pounds you need
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.
