2” Installation Guide First we would like to thank you for choosing Aquatic Glassel fireplace glass and now for the good stuff. Clean your fireplace and wire brush if needed to remove any soot build up. Wipe the surfaces clean with a dry cloth to remove any dust. If you are painting mask off the areas you don’t want any paint on. Spray your paint and remove the masking

Now you want to hook up your burner and place it in the center of the fireplace. Turn the gas on and light it to check that you have the flame pattern in the center and going up and not lapping on the back wall. This will cause soot and look like do-do. Now you have found the general location for the burner. Pour in about 2” (you can use as much as you want) of crushed lava rock and maintain about 3” to 4” from the front of the fireplace. Keep the front clear of lava rock and sand, as we don’t want it to show through. 

Pull the burner to the top and light it again to insure the pattern has not changed. Now cover the burner and lava rock with sand, brush the burner of any sand and light it again. Checking for the flame pattern again. Looks good? Now you're ready to pour the glass on the lava rock and sand base. Starting from the front to back to keep the lava rock from mixing in the glass. Now you’re done unless you are topping off with another color. We recommend you do this slowly as it looks better if you take your time. We also have found that if you do this at nighttime it makes more sense as you can see the actual effects of the fire and the toppings.

In the event you want to remove the topping at a later time, use a shop vacuum to remove the top layer. We put tape on the end to make the hole smaller as not to suck up the complete fireplace of glass. Save this glass you just removed for use later in time. Now you can re-decorate with a few pounds of another color to change the entire look of your fireplace. 

We at Moderustic and Producers of Aquatic Glassel and the inventors of Fireplace Glass, are proud to offer the consumer almost 500 products and we know we have spawned a few undesirable competitors in the market place but we continue on our quest for betterment and greater success through you the customer. We have been criticized for offering the crushed lava rock and or filler method by all of these other companies. But we understand the wants and needs of the customer, you. Spend less and get more. 

Some of these companies are telling the consumer to not use filler, why? They only want to fill their pockets with your money and we want you to save money. We know we have devastated these companies with our filler saving methods but it is with the best intentions for the consumer in mind. We have refused to sell to these individuals and companies because of their business practices. 

So please understand their intentions when they want you to purchase more glass. We take pride in our new product and take Patent Infringement very seriously! There are several companies who have copied our product and or process and they will be in for a surprise when our patent number becomes available to the public and they will find their business in ruin. If you are a previous or new customer and would like to add your comments on these companies or your experience, we will post a testimonial page for these to be read by the public. If you would like to post just your comments, they are welcome as well. Again, we work for the consumer and not the competition.

EXAMPLE #6 A Natural Gas Fireplace Conversion to Fire and Glass Fire place.

Step 1 - Install burner and test the draft of the flame 



Step 2 - We now pour the lava rock and pull burner to the top.

EXAMPLE #7 A Propane Gas Fireplace Conversion to GlassFire Fireplace. 

The pictures below are of John Hanson in Northern California. We designed a custom burner pan for his propane gas fireplace - which by the way he installed it himself. 

Here are some fireplace pictures of how it all started... 
 

 




Step 1 - We remove the existing materials. 
 


Step 2 - The propane burner pan goes in. 



Step 3 - Add some lava rock. 
 


Step 4 - Now the FireGlass, a Clear Base Glass with 3/4" Clear Base Glass on top 


 


Step 5 - And now for the magic! The Fireplace hearth is complete with the contemporary FireGlass lit. 

 

 


There you have it, simple as that. Great job John Hanson! 

 




EXAMPLE #8 A Natural Gas Fireplace Conversion to Fire Glass Fireplace. 

Here is an example of a converted old brick fireplace made into a modern crushed glass fireplace. 



Step 1 - Here is the customers local handyman cleaning and preparing the fireplace. 



Step 2 - The stove paint has been applied.



Step 3 - The burner pipes and lava rock installed. 

 




Step 4 - Then we add the glass fire. In this fireplace we are using Azurlite Base Glass, Clear Base Glass, Blue Green BAse Glass, Blue Green Reflective BAse Glass, Ice Ice Ice Clear Topper, Ice Ice Ice Blue Topper fire glass. 









And here are 2 pictures showing the fireplace at its best, in the evening! 









EXAMPLE #9 An Outdoor Fire Pit Converted to a Fire Glass Fire pit.


The pictures below are of a self install with 1/2" to 3/4" of crushed lava rock and a Clear Base Glass is used at the bottom of the burner ring. 




Step 1 - If you want a higher center then pour a little more filler on top of the ring. 

 

Step 2 - Now we will pour the crushed lava rock (1/4" to 3/8") over the filler as this will stop the glass from falling through the lava rock. 

 

 

Step 3 - Finish shaping and pour the glass.




Step 4 - This is a 36" fire pit which requires 56 lbs for a 1" cover and 80 lbs for a 1 1/2" cover. Which as you can see works just fine. you can't see though the glass. 




Step 5 - The last step will be to add color Toppers which we should post in a few days and night time pictures with the fire on.



Here we are showing you how to properly install a fire pit using fireglass. We recommend starting with less and then you can always add more if you need to. As you can see we had our customer do the 1” method and it looks just fine. But keep in mind the less glass over the crushed lava rock - the more likely someone can disturb the top layer and then the lava rock could show through.

More Fireplace Conversion Pictures of Modern Fireplace Designs Using Moderustic Fire Glass.

The pictures below are using Ford Blue Base Glass and Ford Blue Reflective Base Glass fire glass. 



Sand over lava has been installed over the burners. 

 

Where is the lava rock and sand? Don't let anyone tell you different as this proves to be very cost effective if you choose to do it this way. 

 

 



Below are pictures of what most fireplaces look like (yuk)! We will be showing how to do a 3" install (all glass), a fireplace frame otherwise known as a Surround - painted black and a triple burner with Ice Ice Ice Topper and Starfire Base Glass fire glass.



 

Below is the same fireplace after some cleaning and some high heat stove paint added. We then install a triple burner for our flames. 
 

 



And now for our favorite part, the finishing touches. In this fireplace we installed an aluminum surround painted black. And of course our quality Starfire Base Glass fire glass.

 

 

 

It's hard to see but we did install Ice Ice Ice Topper on top of the Starfire Base Glass. If you noticed, we had to pile a small mound in the front to cover the massive pipe connection. Did you even notice it in the first few pictures? 



 


With the fireplace surround it completes fireplace and the room. We are proud to offer innovative products and ideas to our customers because of all the always pleased. 

 

We have been told by dozens of customers that you will need an installation by a tech. As you can see how easy this actually is, they just want your money more than you do. Again this was a 30 minute install.
