Fire glass, is tempered and tumbled broken glass that is specifically designed and manufactured for use in gas fireplaces and fire pits. So instead of fire coming up through fake logs or rocks, you have this beautiful dancing flame on top of a sparkling bed of glass, and the effect is absolutely stunning.
At this point you might be thinking, 'Cant i just put some broken coke bottles or broken windshield glass in my fireplace?' The answer is no. Ordinary glass should never be used in a fireplace or fire pit. Ordinary glass is not tempered to withstand high temperatures and can create soot, smoke, melt or worse, pop and shoot out of your fireplace. Additionally, Windshield glass has a laminated plastic film that will melt and produce harmful airborne toxins when burned.
