Replace those old gas logs with lava rocks and put intrigue and magic in your natural gas fireplace.

There is no soot, no ash and no smoke. With no popping embers to worry about, you can even remove those screens and glass doors that hinder your view. Now if you think this looks good in your fireplace, it is a show-stopper in an outdoor fire pit or as a decorative feature in your patio landscape.

The options are endless! An average fireplace will take between 50 and 75 lbs of glass or lava rock. Using our Fire Rock as a filler can cut down on the amount of glass needed and give you the same look. However, if you want to change the color for a party or on holidays, an all-glass installation is best. To calculate the amount of American FireglassTM you will need for your fireplace, please go to our calculate page. We suggest placing a 2"- 3" thick layer of FireglassTM to get the Proper flame.
