Can any gas fireplace be switched over to glass?
To use Diamond Fire Glass crystals in a fireplace the unit must be a vented fireplace and should use a manual key valve to control gas going to the fireplace. For more information please visit the "fireplace compatibility" link on our self installation page.

Does the fireplace glass product ever burn or fade?
When installed as directed on our installation link the glass will never melt, burn or discolor in a fireplace or fire pit that utilizes natural gas as it's fuel source under normal use. (Click here if you have propane)

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 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 fire pit glass and fireplace glass product?
From what started as only 6 basic colors available back in 2002 we have expanded our collection of fire pit glass over the last decade into over 50 color choice options that can virtually coordinate with any surround or decor.

Can I use Fireplace Glass with a non-vented fireplace burner and or a vented fireplace burner that works by wall switch or remote control?
This is not uncommon. If your fireplace is vented then you can use the glass crystals as a decorative effect by surrounding the burner with Diamond Fire Glass crystals to add color - If your fireplace burner ignites using a wall switch or by remote control then we do not suggest fully covering the burner as this may smother out your flame or cause your burner to just shut off unexpectedly if a certain heat is exceeded or if the gas pressure is preset too low by the manufacturer.

Since the above types of burners mentioned typically do not allow you to adjust the flame heights you are semi limited and should not fully cover the burner with anything including the glass crystals.

If you only use the glass crystals around the burner this will not effect the flame and will not produce enough heat to effect your system or cause it to shutdown however it may cause any warranty given by the fireplace manufacturer to be void.

when used as directed there is no risk of the glass exploding as our glass is manufacturered at over 1200 degrees and your fireplace will never get anywhere near this level (even if it did the glass would simply melt not explode)

*Diamond Fire Glass guarantees the crystal product will never melt when used as directed.

If your fireplace ignites MANUALLY using a "manual Key valve" then you can fully cover the burner as shown in the pictures on our website without concern when using natural gas.

Our full glass crystal collection includes: Clear Diamond Crystal, Clear Diamond Nugget, Jumbo Diamond Ice Rock, Alpine Crystal, Alpine Nugget, Jumbo Alpine Ice Rock, Pearl White Reflective, Bronze Crystal, Bronze Nugget, Bronze Reflective, Bronze Reflective Nugget, Midnight Black Crystal, Black Reflective, Platinum Reflective, Bali Blue Crystal, Blue Reflective, Cobalt Blue, Cobalt Blue Reflective, Electric Blue, Electric Blue Nugget, Electric Blue Reflective Nugget, Bahama Blue Crystal, Bahama Blue Nugget, Emerald Green Crystal, Green Nugget, Green Reflective, Green Reflective Nugget, Forest Green Crystal, Forest Green Reflective, Gray Crystal, Gray Reflective, Gray Nugget, Auburn Crystal, Auburn Reflective, Copper Reflective, Copper Reflective Nugget, Turquoise Reflective, Gold Reflective, Gold Reflective Nugget, Legacy Premixed, Illustrious Premixed, Sapphire Garden Premixed, Emerald Bay Premixed, Gold Coast Premixed, Venetian Gold Premixed, Red Nectar Premixed, Copper Canyon Premixed, Crystal Cove Premixed, Gold Mine Premixed, and more...

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 Bali 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.

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 produces more heat than artificial log sets and lava rocks- The heat created is comparable to a real wood fire without leaving the mess of burnt ash and soot behind to clean up. In addition the glass does not pollute the environment like a wood fire which helps preserve our natural resources.

Do I need a special burner when using propane?
Pan Burners are suggested for use with propane. A pan burner is strongly suggested when using propane to prevent the gas from sinking and collecting underneath the surface, this is a common hazard with propane since propane is a heavier gas then natural gas. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT- Not using a Pan Burner with Propane could cause an explosion in your fire pit. We also suggest using an LP Converter with propane as this will mix oxygen into the gas prior to burning which helps reduce the weight of the gas and burns cleaner reducing carbon build up.

Hello, I love the look of the fire glass to replace my old gas logs but i'm wondering why the glass kits call for a vented fireplace, when my natural gas logs are running in a fireplace that is not vented? any info or advice would be appreciated, as i would like very much to swap out my logs for your glass?
Unfortunately the Diamond Fire Glass product is not suggested for use in non vented units due to the heat that is created from the glass crystals themselves. The heat created from our glass product is far greater than the heat that is created by ceramic log or concrete log alternatives. In addition typically logs that are used in a non vented system are specially made for that purpose and made of alternative materials that do not produce abundant heat.

I just received my fire pit ring and it looks great, unfortunately, I was not aware that Home Depot style flex lines can cause annoying gas line whistle. It would be an easy fix to replace the connector with a whistle free gas line, however I already poured my 60 lbs of glass over the burner ring. Any suggestions for removing the glass without disturbing the gravel base??? I was thinking of trying to carefully vacuum the glass with a shop-vac and then pick out any stray gravel? If you have a flat scoop this will work best to carefully remove your Diamond Fire Pit Glass without mixing with the gravel- see image at following link below. Plastic Scoop from Uline
A ShopVac would also definitely work to remove the majority of the Diamond Fire Pit Glass product but be careful as you get close to the gravel to avoid collecting much gravel and getting it mixed in... If you go this route maybe use the ShopVac for the first 85-90% and pick out the remainder of your Diamond Fire Pit Glass by hand closest to the gravel. Once the fire pit glass is removed you can hard pipe the fire pit ring connection and eliminate any whistle noise. Once this process is complete make sure to test light the fire pit ring and turn gas on high and confirm your noise has been eliminated, Once this is confirmed turn off the gas and install your fire pit glass.

We just bought a burner and 125 lbs. of fireglass from you and we are installing today. I noticed that you sell propane converters but is this really necessary?  We have installed the pipe with heat resistant gas pipe tape and the flames look lovely the way it works now.  Out propane tank is buried in the yard and runs several things in our home such as our stove, gas grill and now our fireplace. If we don’t install what are the consequences?

The LP converter is suggested so that the propane burns cleaner, this will prevent or minimize soot or ash from developing while burning. Also propane is a heavy gas which causes it to sink and hover beneath the surface which can cause the gas to build up, collect beneath the surface and flare up... using the lp converter reduces this effect as it mixes air into the gas so that the gas is lighter which causes the glass to rise instead of hover beneath the surface. We strongly suggest using an LP converter when using propane.
