With a variety of styles, shapes, sizes and colors, contemporary fire glass offers a wide variety of customization options for your fire pit, especially compared to more traditional media like lava rock.

Recycled Fire Glass
Recycled fire glass takes old glass products and refires them using the same process used in the creation of other fire glass styles.
