Topping Material
(Fireglass - Preparation)
Fireglass is an acceptable fire feature topping material. Due to its expense
(much more expensive than lava rock) it is recommended you only purchase
enough to put a 2” thick layer on top of the fire ring. (Refer to our website to
determine how much fireglass you need to accomplish this). Prior to installing
the glass we recommend installing a galvanized screen mesh as shown at right.
This mesh is available in the stucco section of most hardware stores. This
mesh will ensure the fireglass stays on top and does not mix with the
underlying lava rock.
Notice in the photo at right the top half of Pilot Burner
is elevated above the screen mesh – this is important.

Topping Material
(Fireglass - Installation)
Once the screen mesh is in place simply pour the fireglass on top of the
mesh. Spread the fireglass to achieve an even layer of glass.
IMPORTANT: The top of the Pilot Burner should be level with the
top of the Fireglass.
NOTE: If after installing the fireglass you notice the Pilot Burner is
having difficulty igniting, remove some of the fireglass over the top of
it. Continue to remove glass and try turning the fire feature on until
you are able to achieve ignition every time you turn the fire feature on.
This part requires some experimenting on your part to determine ‘how
much’ glass you can have on top of the Pilot Burner.
