6 Benefits of Fire Glass

Fire glass is an ideal material which can withstand extreme temperatures, ultimately lasting somewhat longer! If you want something that doesn’t deteriorate or burn over time, you need to install fire glass!

Fire glass is energy efficient and requires less fuel- making it environmentally more favourable! It can be used to create fireplaces and fire pits and offers an alternative to ceramic gas log fires- making it safer for you! Whether you’re looking for the perfect pebble or crystal finish, at Express Toughening we are sure you’ll create an imposing feel to your home!

What makes fire glass so desirable?

Health

As we all know, wood fires can cause difficulties with breathing, resulting in respiratory problems such as asthma and bronchitis. This is caused by the wood burning and emitting smoke which affects the heart and lungs. Alternatively, fire glass doesn’t have severe impacts on your well-being because there aren’t any sparks produced and there is no combustion!

Clean

Undeniably fire glass is one of the cleanest materials, there are no sparks, smoke or ashes! With this said, fire glass ensures a clear, elegant, luxurious finish which is easy to maintain. This material can refract light; therefore, it is essential that it is clean for presentational purposes, especially if you aim to improve the aesthetics of your home.

Low-cost

The tempered glass can be used to radiate up to 3x as much heat as wooden log fires. Fire glass is ideal if you’re looking to use your fireplace on a regular basis- there is no need to buy or replace the glass because it has been manufactured to last forever, retaining and directing heat!

Longevity

How long can you use a wooden fire before it burns out?

A wooden fire is less efficient than fire glassFire glass ensures you can use your fireplace as many times as you want, keeping the fire place lit for as long as your heart desires! Fire glass is created to last forever, make the most of it!

Safety

Fire glass has an array of properties that make it one of the safest materials to use when generating heat.

Superb customer service from the Express Toughening team – when I made a mistake on my order online, they dealt with the issue quickly organising partial refund immediately. My order arrived quickly and their courier messaged me before delivery to check I was in. Quality product at the best price I found online.

Andy Beviere

Extremely easy company to deal with, glass ordered weeks ago and asked for a specific delivery date due to glass testing and no one being onsite. Delivered on time and when asked for other types glass stated they couldn’t help but recommended an equally helpful company!!

Wouldn’t hesitate to use again.

I’ve used Express Toughening twice now and have been very impressed with the glass they have supplied and also the helpfulness of the staff. The first job was a couple of years ago when they supplied me with a 6mm satin frosted toughened glass door for our shower room. From my measurements they supplied a fabulous door which had the hinge and lock holes cut out and also took into account the out of square measurement of the door frame. It fitted a treat and is stunning to look at.

More recently (late last year) they supplied me with painted toughened glass splash backs (7 items altogether in 6mm glass with the biggest being 2.1 metres long), all cut to my sizes and with numerous switch and socket cut-outs. My local glass supplier said they could not cut out the close together sockets and switches, but Express did and got it spot on!

As with the glass door, the splash backs were delivered to me by Expresses’ own transport and without any problems and quality issues.

After the scary bit of fitting them all the result is faultless and stunning. Thanks go to Alex who helped me with the ordering process and technical aspects of glass splash backs.

4mm toughened glass for greenhouse. Although slightly dubious about ordering from a company I’ve never heard of and not local (300mile away) I’m so glad I took the plunge. A great customer service from Helen and the team from start to finish, clearly there was nothing for me to worry about.

Their website is easy to use and made ordering online a doddle and for those shapes, they don’t have on their website a quick email and rough diagram sorted any issues there. All glass arrived on time well packed and with no breakages.

It’s a company I wouldn’t hesitate to use again and I’d definitely recommend it to others who need quality glass cut to size.

Fantastic service, fantastic prices and fantastic products – I could not recommend Express Toughening highly enough – I got an immediate response to my request for a quotation, and Helen was so helpful in answering my questions. Order placement was easy and everything arrived exactly on time and as promised. I won’t look anywhere else for my next order – great prices (way cheaper than other quotes) and great service!

Thank you!
