Fire Pit Wind Guards: Prevent Wind from Disrupting Your Flames

Glass Wind Guards, also known as Fire Pit Wind Guards or Flame Guards, serve to protect your fire pit from flame movement that may result in damage and impact the appearance and performance of your outdoor fire feature. Our Wind Guards are made from heat-resistant tempered glass and feature polished edges for added safety. We offer a range of sizes to fit your gas fire pit opening, and we recommend selecting a size slightly larger than your opening for optimal protection. The guards are designed to rest on the fire pit top, ensuring easy and secure placement.

Benefits of a Fire Pit Wind Guard

1. Conserves Fuel – If a flame is unprotected, it needs to burn harder to counteract the wind trying to put it out. This increased energy demand requires more fuel, resulting in quicker fuel consumption. By using a Glass Wind Guard, the fire's workload is reduced, resulting in potential cost savings on your gas/propane bill.

2. Steadier Burning Flame - By placing a Flame Guard around your burner, you can ensure a cleaner and more efficient burn of the gas, particularly when using propane. On windy days, the flames are frequently disrupted, resulting in gas being used less efficiently. This incomplete combustion can lead to soot residue on the fire glass surface and around the burner pan edges. The flame guard prevents the wind from affecting the flames, ensuring that the gas is entirely consumed.
   
   
3. Stylish Addition - Glass Wind Guards offer more than just functional benefits; they can also enhance the aesthetic appeal of your fire feature in a simple and cost-effective way. With a Glass Wind Guard, your fire feature will have a modern and elegant look that both you and your guests will appreciate. Additionally, the glass surface reflects the fire, adding to the visual appeal.
   
   
4. Added Measure of Safety - Aside from being a functional accessory, a Wind Guard serves as a safety feature as well. It acts as a barrier between the flames and onlookers, reducing the risk of accidental burns to you and your family. Additionally, it serves as a deterrent to young children and curious pets from getting too close to the open flames.
