In 1972 \textit{R. W. Carter} showed that every element in a Weyl group can be written as product of two involutions [see Compos. Math. 25, 1-59 (1972; Zbl 0254.17005)]. The proof is highly technical. The author of the present paper deals only with Weyl groups of type \(F_4\). He establishes the bireflectionality of these groups calculating with reflections.
