Absolutely YES!! The fireglass uses less gas. The glass gets hot and reflects the heat back into the room, you are not just getting the heat from the flame. The same holds true for Fire Pits. Tired of sitting around the fire pit and huddling close? Switch out that lava rock to glass and you will feel the difference! Sit back and enjoy the warmth in the area. You will not be disappointed. With Lava Rock, you get ALL your heat from the flame alone which the majority of the heat goes straight up and does nobody any good at all. Plus there is no comparison at all to burning fire wood. Soot is horrible and messy and can ruin your carpet, plus popping and flying embers can ruin your carpet. No popping or flying objects with the glass, and just turn the gas on and light it, and turn it off when you are finished.

Crystals are what most people purchase, they have the jewelry brilliance and sparkle since they have flat edges that reflect the light. The Crystals that have Metallic in their name have a mirror finish on one side of the glass that makes them sparkle even more. The pebbles are smooth rounded pebbles that don't have flat edges so they don't sparkle like the crystals, but they come in some brighter colors like Red, Orange and Yellow. The recycled glass is crushed recycled glass made from many different types of glass, they have nice colors, but don't sparkle like the crystals, but are not smooth like the pebbles either. The choice is yours, if you need help choosing type of glass or colors, give us a call, we are always glad to help you with colors that will match your decor.

Absolutely not! Just look at the photos of their glass, and you will see that they are scratched and chalky and cloudy looking. This is because of their tumbling process. They tumble the glass on itself and it scratches the glass. We do not tumble our glass! You can see our glass in our photos, no trick photography, just the true look of our glass. Not tumbled, not scratched, just brilliant clean sparkling glass. This is an investment in your home meant to last a lifetime, get the best quality glass at the best price here at Fire On Glass.

All of our glass is approx. 1/4" in size. Some companies sell 1/2" glass, but the larger pieces of glass are not as brilliant and get a cloudy/hazy look. The most popular size in the industry is 1/4" because of the brilliant jewelry look of the smaller pieces of glass.

You will need a burner, either an arc burner for your fireplace, or a ring burner for your firepit, the fireglass crystals or pebbles or recycled glass and a whisper quiet flex hose to connect the burner to your gas inlet. It is that simple! In order to use less glass, you can use small lava rock or sand under your glass to bring the level up if you like.
