My fireplace has a pilot light. Can I use Arctic Flame Glass?
A manual key controlled fireplace eliminates the need for a pilot that must always burn in order to ignite the fireplace when used. Also, with the manual valve you are able to cover the burner completely with glass. Some companies will tell you to cover the burner with a wire mess to keep the glass from smothering the pilot light. Beware, this is not a good idea and is not recommended. Consult your local contractor is your area for specific information on compliance.

How Much Arctic Flame Glass Do I Need? (Fireplace)
It is actually very simple to find out precisely how much Fire-Glass you will need. First you will need a tape measure, a flashlight and calculator.

The amount of glass for each fireplace varies depending on the size of the fireplace and fill depth.  Measure and write down the width at the opening of your fireplace, the depth from the front to back, and decide on the thickness of Fire-Glass (3-4” on average) you would like. All measurements should be in inches.
