Who It’s For Some rooms have no chimney, no gas line, and no realistic way to add either—the bedroom, the condo, the office, the finished basement. So the fire you picture on that wall stays a picture. You need a fireplace that installs anywhere there’s a wall and power . If you want a fire nearly eight feet across without opening the roof or running gas, the Astound Built-In is the one. Choose a vented unit instead and the install decides which wall gets the fire; choose this one and you decide. What Makes It Special The front glass flips down , so the fire bed is never sealed away. Swap the driftwood logs for birch, mineral rocks, or glass beads in minutes—dress it up for the holidays, strip it back for summer. Changing the look is a five-minute job, not a service call. The flames carry Napoleon’s spark effect —flickering ember trails that move through the fire the way a real one does—and the tinted glass keeps them visible even in a bright, sunlit room. The angled front glass projects the heat out at you instead of up the wall, and hardwired at 240 volts the unit delivers twice the heat it makes on a standard 120-volt circuit. Run it from the included remote, the Napoleon Home app , or your voice through Google Home or Alexa— the fire can be going before you’re through the door. Possible Downsides • It warms one room, not a house —approx. 250–500 square feet is the honest range. • Full heat requires a hardwired 240-volt connection ; on a standard 120-volt circuit it runs at half the output. • The wall-mount controller is optional , not included—the handheld remote is what comes in the box. If you want a fire nearly eight feet wide on a wall that could never take a chimney, the Astound Built-In is the right decision. The wall you used to walk past becomes the room everyone ends up in. Options include a birch log kit, mineral rocks, black crystals, and glass beads in amber, black, blue, clear, or topaz; flames run yellow, orange, or combined; an adjustable finishing trim is included, and the wall-mount controller comes with a black or white cover.
