Customers often ask us if Celestial’s Tempered Fire Glass is tumbled. In a word, no.

Tumbling tempered fire pit glass involves placing the glass into a revolving bin for a given amount of time. The rotating motion wears down the sharp edges of the glass pieces, resulting in glass that is safer to handle.

Here’s the problem with tumbled glass. The same process that removes sharp edges also dulls the surface of the glass, giving it a “frosted” look that dulls its reflectiveness.

Since we want you to have the most dazzling visual impact possible with our glass, Celestial has developed a special, proprietary vibration process that softens jagged edges without compromising the smooth, reflective surface. Most of our tempered fire glass has a mirrored coating on one side to amp up the sparkle even more. This finish reflects sunlight in the daytime and the flames of the fire at night.

High-luster glass is the best choice if you’re looking for top-shelf shine and glamour in your backyard fireplace or fire pit.

Other Options if You’re Concerned About Sharp Edges

If you have little ones around the house who tend to be “handsy,” take a look at our Crushed Fire glass or Diamond Fire glass:

• Crushed Fire glass: This type of fireplace glass is crushed rather than shattered, resulting in small, gravel-shaped pieces. The gravel shapes have edges, but they’re less sharp than tempered fire pit glass. Crushed glass offers some degree of reflectiveness in the light, but its main feature is the rich, textured color it brings to your fire unit.
• Diamond Fire glass: The rounded edges on Diamond Fire glass pieces make this variety a very safe choice if you have small children and pets. We’ve also added an iridized finish that makes this type of fire pit glass shimmer and shine.

No Matter Which Fire Pit Glass Option You Choose…
