Installation Notes
-
Check your manual first: Empire's media brochure says to check the manual for your burner or fireplace for the type of media allowed, where it can go and how many square feet it can cover.
-
Examples: the Boulevard vent-free fireplaces take about 1.75 sq ft (36") and 2.25 sq ft (48") of glass or rocks, and 5 sq ft (60") and 6 sq ft (72") of crushed glass; the Loft 20,000 and 28,000 Btu inserts take 1 and 1 1/2 sq ft; the Carol Rose fire pits take up to 7 bags (48") or 8 bags (60") of crushed glass.
-
Placement: crushed glass goes in a single layer. Never put media on or right next to the burner, or over the pilot, sensor, igniter or electrode, and use only media made for use in a fireplace (Boulevard vent-free, Loft and Carol Rose manuals).
-
Drops and droplets: glass drops and droplets can be mixed with crushed glass as an accent, but the Boulevard and Carol Rose manuals say they cannot replace the crushed glass where crushed glass is required.
-
Clear frost: Empire recommends clear frost crushed glass on the Boulevard 60" and 72" vent-free fireplaces and on Carol Rose fire pits with LED lighting; transparent and translucent crushed glass lets LED lights show brightest.
