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 Products?
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.
What type of fire features can I use fire glass in?
Fire glass is perfect for gas fire pits, fire tables, fireplaces, and fire bowls. Just make sure you're using it in a gas-only setup. Fire glass is not safe for wood-burning fires.
Can I mix fire glass colors or types?
Yes! You can mix and match colors and sizes to create custom looks. Many customers use a base layer of a darker glass and top it with brighter accent colors for a dramatic effect.
Will the color of the fire glass fade over time?
No. Our fire glass is made from tempered glass with color infused all the way through. It won’t fade, melt, or emit fumes, and comes with a lifetime guarantee.
How often should I replace my fire glass?
Fire glass doesn’t wear out like wood or lava rock, but you may want to clean or top it off once or twice a year, especially if it’s exposed to outdoor elements.

The best products and the best service!
"I found American Fireglass by a google search and figured I would give them a try. I am so glad I gave them the opportunity because they were with me from the start until the end of my project. They called me to go over every little detail and to make sure I was getting the right materials. Customer service was great and I can not thank them enough! Not to mention their products are excellent and very good quality! I will be ordering from them again in the future."

Beautiful!
"The glass looks great, exactly as pictured. I've used our fire pit a dozen times since placing them, and I've had no problems with any discoloring, or melting. The colors are beautiful.
One heads up: I ordered based on what the calculator recommended and ended up with probably 1. 5 bags too many. Which is fine, I'm sure the local squirrel and bird population will slowly whittle it down."

Good experience
"Nice Product- good service
The Glass rock calculator leaves a lot to be desired. I have at least 40Lbs of extra glass.
Now I’ll be hoping that the returned goods process works as well as the order entry process"

Especially suited to poolside environments, this lovely fire glass is sure to delight your customers and their guests even before their fire feature is lit.

A Practical Alternative to Ceramic Logs & Stones
Our Maui Breeze reflective fire glass is not just exquisite to behold, it is also very practical. It does a terrific job of covering the entire floor of a fire feature, effectively hiding the unseemly pipes and tubes which are often visible in gas fireplaces or fire pits. This makes fire glass a more preferable alternative to the more common ceramic logs and fire stones.
Extremely Durable, Safe & Long Lasting!
Our 1/2" Maui Breeze reflective fire glass is made with high quality, non-tumbled, tempered glass and has undergone a unique 5-step manufacturing process which ensures it can withstand harsh weather and temperatures of up to 1300 degrees Fahrenheit without any cracking, or any loss of shape or color. Our tempered fire glass is not tumbled which ensures an enhanced shine. Used correctly, this amazing product could last your customers a lifetime!
Furthermore, our fire glass does not emit any harmful chemicals, smoke, ash, or soot, which means there is hardly any cleaning for your customers to do. They can spend more time enjoying their fireplace or fire pit, and less time maintaining it!
