Fireplace Glass - How Much Glass Do I Need?
Buy Fireplace Glass Now!
Before you can determine the amount of fireplace glass
you will need you must first determine the method of
installation you will use. There are several options
for installing your fireplace glass, below we will list the
two most common.
Glass Only Method:
The first is to use all glass. This is more
expensive but easier to install. When using this
method you may opt to use a less expensive glass to fill
the bulk of the fireplace and then top it off with your
desired color to save money. See the
Installation Instructions for more
details.
Filler Method:
Another option is to use a filler like volcanic rock
and sand. This method
will save you quite a bit of money however it requires a
trip to the hardware/lawn and garden store to pick up
the sand and lava rock. Note: To determine
the amount of lava rock you will need use the calculator
below to determine the amount of glass needed and divide
that by 2. You will need to estimate the amount of
sand. See the
Installation Instructions for more
details.
The amount of glass for each fireplace varies
depending on the size of the fireplace and fill depth.
Enter the back width, front width, depth front to back,
and the thickness of fireplace glass you intend to use
(3"-4" when using just glass on average and 2" when
using a filler).
Note: All dimensions should be entered in
inches.
