Overview
A living room wall gets a wide linear fireplace with a flame that wraps around the corners. Truflame technology produces a wood-burning look, and log sets, liners and trim kits let you change the style.
The reason to consider it is the large flame picture and the fuel flexibility, with remote control of heat and light. The limitation is missing depth, framing and weight data, which a fireplace installation depends on.
Who it's for
Homeowners and builders planning a wide linear hearth who want the choice of either fuel and the option to change logs and liners. Those with limited wall space, or who want a full spec sheet first, should check the maker's data.
Pros and cons
- Natural gas or propane
- Wrap-around flame effect
- Remote thermostat control
- Dimmable accent lighting
- Framing dimensions not listed
- Weight not listed
- Options sold separately
Performance notes
A direct-vent system draws air from outside and exhausts outside, so the burn does not use room air. The thermostat remote sets the heat level, and the accent lighting changes the look of the flame bed without changing the heat.
