Does the fireplace glass product ever burn or fade?
No. Our special formulation prevents the glass from ever burning, melting or losing any of its brilliant color. Is there any clean up or maintenance required? Never! The glass does not create any soot, dirt or ashes ever, so even when you’re not using your fireplace the fireplace glass is still sparkling.
Do I need really need a custom burner pipe with this product?
No you do not, however we have designed double burner pipes that are custom to the size of your fireplace giving you a much more balanced flame. Also the double pipe creates a more natural look with two lines of fire working together vs. Just one line of fire which looks generic. Our double pipes produce twice the heat without increasing gas usage. The bottom line is with our double pipe you get more flame, more heat and more sparkle.
What colors are available in the fireplace glass product?
Clear, white, blue, green, gray, black, bronze, bronze reflective, blue reflective and grey reflective.
I don’t know which color to choose?
Most of our clients choose three or more colors and mix them up to create a custom look. For example clear black and bronze ties in any wood tones or stone (especially granite) and has a subtle touch of gold. If you are looking for something a little brighter you may consider clear, a hint of black for contrast and sapphire blue, this is more of an ice jewel look. That is the beauty of having so many colors to choose from you can create something custom and unique to fit your style.
Do I have to mix the colors?
No, some people just want one solid color; we can accommodate custom orders of any size.
What is the reflective glass?
Our reflective fireplace glass is stunning. It simply has one reflective side (like a mirror) people love to accent or highlight with this. Not only does it look beautiful when the fireplace is lit but also when it is not as it reflects the natural light in the room, giving the fireplace an incredible sparkle even when not in use.

I heard that artificial logs contain asbestos, is this true?
Yes. Most artificial logs do contain asbestos fibers in them. Breathing asbestos fibers- which can be microscopic- can cause a variety of diseases, some of which can be fatal. The American lung association says "avoid smoke from wood stoves, fireplaces and cigarettes- improve life one breath at a time".
Do I need a screen or doors on my fireplace to use fireplace glass?
No. Our fireplace glass product does not burn; there are never any popping cinders or ashes that will be emitted from your fireplace. Most people remove the screens because they are not necessary and their rusted filthy appearance clashes with the sparkle of the fireplace glass. Doors are optional, some people remove them, and some people like to keep them to prevent pets and children from exploring in the fireplace.
Does this product really produce more heat?
Yes. Our fireplace glass product radiates more than 5 x the heat you would get from an artificial log, real wood or lava rock.
