The Outdoor GreatRoom Company Rectangular Folding Glass Wind Guard (FWG-1242) represents a premier achievement in upscale patio safety and performance engineering. Custom-scaled to complement the expansive 12" x 42" Crystal Fire® Plus linear burner series, this heavy-duty accessory functions as an indispensable safety barrier and thermodynamic focus shield. By deflecting turbulent, erratic crosswinds, the enclosure preserves the precise fuel-to-air metrics required for clean, smoke-free combustion, dramatically lowering fuel consumption while containing flames to protect nearby guests, children, and active hosting spaces.
The primary innovation of the FWG-1242 lies in its articulated multi-hinge subsystem. Traditional glass wind guards present a storage challenge, requiring users to physically lift a heavy, hot glass framework off the table and find a safe storage spot when the fire feature is unlit. This folding alternative solves that logistical hassle completely; once the burner cools down, its four high-clarity panels fold inward to lie completely flat over the burner basin. In this closed position, the tempered glass acts as a durable protective cover that guards fire gems and burner ports against falling leaves, rainfall, and organic patio debris, eliminating the need for a separate hard burner lid.
Key Features
-
Articulating Heavy-Duty Hinge Network: Outfitted with premium mechanical hinges that allow the four independent glass walls to transition smoothly between an upright wind deflector and a flush burner preservation cover.
-
Tempered Safety Glass Panels: Fabricated from heavy-gauge, high-density tempered glass sheets engineered to tolerate intense thermal stress, localized heat spikes, and hostile weather environments without shattering or clouding.
-
Flame Stabilization Performance: Blocks disruptive drafts to prevent erratic flame displacement, keeping the thermal plume directed evenly upward and outward to optimize the radiant warmth zone.
-
Integrated Fire Bed Preservation: When folded flat, the glass array creates an effective barrier against environmental contaminants, protecting the interior fuel manifold from clogging and moisture pooling.
-
Polished Aluminum Corner Hardware: Secured by high-strength, rust-proof aluminum brackets that maintain precise structural alignment while adding a polished accent to contemporary fire tables.
-
Tool-Free Removable Placement: Designed to sit securely on top of the fire table surface around the perimeter of the burner lip, ensuring rapid, hardware-free removal whenever deep sanitation is required.
