Fireglass for Fireplaces and Firepits – Common Questions

Is Fireglass safe? lg-uf2b
Fireglass is very safe. There are no sharp edges, it is not made with chemicals and it burns cleaner than gas. Homeowners with  small children will want to make sure that the children do not have access to the fireplace or the Fireglass. Fireplace Screens or Fireplace Glass Doors are recommended in such cases.

Does the Fireglass get consumed?
No, the Fireglass is reusable and if used correctly, should last a lifetime.

Where can I use Fireglass?
Fireglass is designed for use only in a gas fireplace or gas fire pits. It is not for intended for wood burning units.

How much does Fireglass cost?
Fireglass is sold by the pound and the price is determined by  which color or colors you select. You can purchase Fireglass at Woodland Direct.

Does the Fireglass get hot?
Yes! The Fireglass does get hot - don't touch it! After the fire has been turned off, the top layer of Fireglass will cool while the bottom layers will continue to radiate heat.

What types of Fireglass are there?

There are many varieties of Fireglass allowing you to create a display that is uniquely yours. Lava Rock is generally used for   filler with a more vivid Fireglass on the top. It comes in small and large and is an inexpensive way to fill up the space in a firepit or fireplace. Filler Fireglass comes in a large variety of colors and is generally a bit more expensive than Lava Rock but will give you a more decorative appearance. It is usually used as a filler with a more vibrant color placed on top. Accent Fireglass is the most brilliant in color of all of the selections of Fireglass available. Generally, it is a bit more expensive so as long as you plan on leaving the glass as you originally design it, you’ll use it just for a top layer.

What kind of glass is used?
Fireglass is made from "tempered" glass, meaning that is heat treated for high strength. It is designed to withstand high temperatures without breaking, fading or significantly changing colors.

How much Fireglass do I need for my fireplace?
We have provided a Fireglass Fireplace Calculator to give you the fireglass2recommended amount of Fireglass in pounds. Best results are when a thickness of 4" of Fireglass is used in the fireplace. This is typically enough to cover the gas pipe and results in a beautiful flame. Fireplaces that are level with the floor can have a fill level of 1/2" at the opening of the fireplace that slopes up to 4" at the rear of the fireplace.

Can I use my existing fireplace?
You can use your existing fireplace if it is setup for gas burning. If you have a wood burning fireplace you must first convert it to a gas fireplace and then add the Fireglass.

How do you install Fireglass?
Installation is very simple.

  1. Thoroughly clean your fireplace.
  2. If you are painting the inside of the fireplace, cover items surrounding
    your fireplace so no paint overspray gets on them.
  3. Make sure that the gas is working properly.
  4. Pour in the Fireglass slowly, pouring front to back.
  5. If you are using a Accent Fireglass as a topping, pour that on after the Filler using the same method.
  6. Removal of the glass can be done at a later time using a shop vac.

Is there anything I can do to improve the look of the inside of my fireplace?
Yes! A very simple and cost effective way to dramatically improve the inside of your fireplace is to purchase a heat resistant paint. Any color will work fine, however, black seems to be a favorite. Care should be taken during painting: items near the fireplace should be covered and protected from paint overspray.

Can Fireglass be used with Gas Fire Pits?
Absolutely! Fireglass works the same way in Fire Pits as it does in Fireplaces.

Are there other materials I can use for filler besides Fireglass?
We do not recommend other fillers for fireplaces. If you decide to again use your gas logs or move from the home, it will be very difficult to reuse the Fireglass once it has been mixed with other materials, such as sand. For large fire pits, you may want to substitute glass with Lava Rock or pea gravel as a filler. Filling a large fire pit can be expensive.

Does the fireplace flue need to be opened when I am burning the Fireglass?
Yes. Anytime your fireplace is in use, there must be ventilation.

Can you clean the Fireglass?
Yes. Use a shopvac to remove the Fireglass from the fireplace and simply clean with water and replace.

Burn Type - Gas vs Wood

When it comes to using your outdoor fire pit, you want to make the most of it. You plan on spending many nights with family and friends relaxing around it – so you want it to work at its maximum capacity. Should you burn wood or should you have a gas fire pit? There are many factors that will play into your decision, and it is important that you make the one that will suit you best.

Most outdoor fireplace can be used as both gas burning and wood-burning. Many of them will give you the option of which way you would like them to be set up when you place your order.

Most people enjoy wood-burning fireplaces. There is nothing like the smell of wood burning or the crackling noise it gives as it burns. While it can bring back past memories of camping and other outdoor activities for some, it can be a hassle for others. For starters, you will need to gather your own wood and make sure that it is dry and properly seasoned so it will burn well. Secondly, there is the clean up factor. You will always want to clean up after your wood-burning fire pit once the ashes have cooled down. It is not a good idea to keep burning fires over the previous fires remnants. However, if you love the sound and smell of a “real” fire, then you definitely want to have a wood-burning fire pit.

You will also always want to be careful when using your wood-burning fire pit. Sparks can stray and you definitely do not want to be in its line of fire.

Additional safety tips for wood-burning:

1. Check local ordinances regarding outdoor burning.
2. Never use lighter fluid or gasoline to ignite your wood.
3. Make sure to burn only seasoned wood.

Although a gas fire pit lacks the reality of a true fire, it can still put out a very convincing flame. However, a gas fire pit will heat consistently, unlike a wood-burning fire. Maintenance is minimal compared to all the work that goes into taking care of a wood-burning fire. The convenience of it is what makes it so appealing to many people. Anybody who enjoys the warmth and ambiance of flickering flames, but doesn’t want the hassle of buying wood and cleaning ashes should consider a gas fireplace.
