FireGlitter (Glass) and FireDrops (Beads) Calculations for Fire Pits
90 pounds of FireGlitter, or 110 pounds of FireDrops, will approximately fill 1 cubic foot.
To determine the minimum amount of glass required, compute using the following formulas by filling in the blanks (measure target area in inches):
FireGlitter (glass):
For Rectangular uses (average front and rear widths for tapered fireplaces):
____ Width times ____ Depth times ____Thickness divided by 19.2 = ____Pounds of Glass required
Example: 24" Width, 12" Depth, 2" Thickness 24 X 12 X 2 ÷ 19.2 = 30 Pounds of Glass
For Circular uses (FirePits, flowerpots, etc.):
____ Diameter times ____Diameter times ____Thickness divided by 24.4 = ____Pounds of Glass required
Example: 24" Diameter, 2" Thickness 24 X 24 X 2 ÷ 24.4 = 47 Pounds of Glass
FireDrops (beads):
For Rectangular uses (average front and rear widths for tapered fireplaces):
____ Width times ____ Depth times ____Thickness divided by 16.0 = ____Pounds of FireDrops required
Example: 24" Width, 12" Depth, 2" Thickness 24 X 12 X 2 ÷ 16.0 = 36 Pounds of FireDrops
For Circular uses (FirePits, flowerpots, etc.):
____ Diameter times ____Diameter times ____Thickness divided by 20.2 = ____Pounds of Drops required
Example: 24" Diameter, 2" Thickness 24 X 24 X 2 ÷ 20.2 = 57 Pounds of FireDrops
