“Outdoors” has become a mega-trend: 79% of humans hear the call of the outdoors. No matter whether it is summer or winter, night or day, or merely always. What would it be like if you could have the feeling of warmth, security and coziness of the indoors in an outdoor atmosphere? What if it could all be found in an outdoor fireplace that offers protection, yet is as open and transparent as nature itself?

The fact that you can grill and cook on it to perfection coupled with its glass-ceramic enclosure makes for twice the gardening pleasure.“

It will not be long before it is possible to enjoy a closer view of an outdoor fire. That is because fire viewing panels provide protection from flying sparks, escaping flames and smoke.
Sudden rain or snow and even flying objects pose no threat to the heated panel. Glass-ceramics can withstand the demands of nature due to its mechanical and thermal properties. In fact, it has been certified by Germany’s Technical Control Association (TÜV).
