Overview
A homeowner planning a contemporary feature wall gets a linear burner set between a matte black rear panel and a tempered glass front. It is a natural gas unit with an intermittent pilot, a fine mesh barrier screen and decorative accessories.
Sharp horizontal lines and a clean-burning vent-free design are the reason to look at it, and the non-combustible board for recessed fitting is in the package. The limitation is install detail: gas connection and local rules are not spelled out.
Who it's for
Homeowners and builders finishing a living room around a wall-mounted linear fire feature will find the switch and backup power included. Buyers in areas that restrict vent-free gas or who need an electric unit should look elsewhere.
Pros and cons
- Clean linear flame look
- Wall switch and battery backup included
- Non-combustible board for recessing
- Fine mesh barrier screen included
- Gas line and code needs not covered
- Heavy for a wall mount
- Battery type not named
Performance notes
A linear burner is set between the black rear panel and a tempered glass deflector, and the dark panel makes the flames stand out sharply. An intermittent pilot lights the burner on demand and the battery backup lets the switch work without house power. Heat output is set by the burner rating and spread across the listed coverage area.
