A wide, low ribbon of fire you design yourself—and control from the couch. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 750–1,500 sq ft • Viewing Area: 40 3/4″ wide • Fuel: Natural gas; a propane conversion kit is available. • Controls: Remote and eFIRE Bluetooth app included; wall-mounted control optional. • Fan: Optional Who It’s For Most gas fireplaces come one way: same logs, same flame, same look in every house. When the fireplace wall is the one every seat in the room faces, that isn’t enough. You need a fire that’s designed for the room, not dropped into it. If you’re building or remodeling and want a linear fire you compose yourself —the media in the firebox, the color of the embers, the surround around it—the Napoleon Vector LV38 is that fireplace. A standard unit will keep the room warm; this one decides how the room looks. What Makes It Special Start with the firebox: driftwood, oak, or birch logs, a beach fire, woodland or mineral rock media, or a bed of glass, then set the multi-colored LED ember bed and top lights to whatever color suits the evening. MIRRO-FLAME porcelain panels come included and mirror the flames, so the fire reads deeper and fuller than the box it sits in. Both the remote and the eFIRE Bluetooth app are included, so flame height and ember color adjust from the couch —or from your phone, without getting up. Set the look for a dinner party, then bring it down to a quiet glow when everyone’s gone home. It warms approximately 750 to 1,500 square feet —a great room and the space beyond it—and the optional Dynamic Heat Control system lowers the wall temperature above the unit so a TV or artwork can hang directly above the fire . The Vector builds into a framed wall, so plan on finish work like tile or stone as part of the job. Possible Downsides • The fan kit is optional rather than included. If you want warm air pushed across the room, plan for the add-on. • Media is a required separate selection. The unit ships without logs or glass; you choose one of the kits to complete the look. • This is the single-sided model. For a fire visible from two rooms at once, look at the see-through Vector. If you want the fire to be the first thing people notice when they walk in, the Vector LV38 is the right decision. The room it’s in becomes the room the house lives in. The LV38 takes your choice of media—driftwood, oak, or birch logs, a beach fire, woodland or mineral rock kit, or glass beads and embers in a range of colors—plus a black or stainless steel surround, a slim finishing trim, a premium screen safety barrier, and optional heat-management kits, so the finished fire fits the room you’re building.

Napoleon: Altitude X AX36

Napoleon · Gas Fireplace

Altitude X AX36

The whole face is glass, the whole view is fire. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 888–1,775 sq ft • Fuel: Natural gas or propane. • Controls: Remote and eFIRE mobile app included; wall control optional. • Fan: Included Who It’s For Most gas fireplaces put a metal frame and grille work between you and the flame, so from across the room you see an appliance first and a fire second. You need a fireplace where the fire is the whole view . If you’re building or remodeling a wall and want the fire to be the first thing people notice when they walk in, this is the one to look at—it builds into a framed wall, so plan on tile or stone finish work as part of the job. A standard louvered box will keep you warm just fine, but you’ll always know it’s a gas fireplace; the Altitude X is built so you forget. What Makes It Special The Altitude X has a clean face, which means your tile or stone runs right to the glass —no louvers, no frame, nothing interrupting the fire. Top lights inside the firebox shine down on the logs, so the hearth glows even before you turn the flame on, and the glass is ceramic, made to sit inches from a real fire for years. You run it from the couch or from your phone. The included remote and eFIRE app handle power, flame height, top lights, and fan speed, and a thermostat setting holds the room where you want it—set 70 and let it cycle. Here’s the part people ask about: it still lights when the power goes out , as long as you’ve kept batteries in the backup. It’s also one of the few fireplaces designed from the start for the wall above it. The optional Dynamic Heat Control system lowers the wall temperature with no fan running, so a TV or artwork can hang above the fire at the lowest clearances Napoleon offers, and ducted options can move the heat to another room—or outdoors—instead of stacking it on one wall. Possible Downsides • Battery backup isn’t self-contained —lighting the fire in an outage takes four AA batteries or a power bank, and neither is included. • Heat management is optional, not built in ; hanging a TV above at the reduced clearances means adding the Dynamic Heat Control system. • Media options are log sets only —driftwood, oak, or birch; there is no glass or stone media bed. If you want the fire itself—not the appliance around it—to be what people see, the Altitude X is the right decision. The room it’s in becomes the room the house lives in. The look is adjustable: driftwood, oak, or birch log sets; decorative panels in black illusion glass, MIRRO-FLAME reflective porcelain, or Newport and Westminster brick; finishing trims in black or charcoal; and Zen or Whitney decorative fronts.

Napoleon: Altitude X AX42

Napoleon · Gas Fireplace

Altitude X AX42

The fire fills the frame—no grille, no louvers, nothing between you and the flame. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 950–1,900 sq ft • Fuel: Natural gas or propane. • Controls: Remote and eFIRE mobile app, both included. • Fan: Included Who It’s For Plenty of gas fireplaces put a good flame behind a busy metal face, so what you notice from the couch is the frame, not the fire. You need a fireplace where the fire is the whole view . If you’re building or remodeling and want the fire to be the focal point of the room—with the freedom to hang a TV above it—this is who the Altitude X was made for. Pick a standard louvered unit instead and you’ll get the warmth, but the fire will always look like an appliance. What Makes It Special The Altitude X is a clean-face design: ceramic glass runs to the edges with the entire firebox in view , and built-in top lights keep the logs softly lit, so the fireplace looks finished even when there’s no fire in it. Every function runs from the included remote or the eFIRE app on your phone—on and off, flame height, fan speed, the lights. And if the power goes out, the fireplace still lights on battery backup —keep four AA batteries in it and an outage doesn’t take the fire with it. Where the heat goes is up to you. The optional Dynamic Heat Control system lowers wall temperatures without a fan, so a TV can hang directly above the fireplace at Napoleon’s lowest clearances, and ducted options can carry the warmth to another room or even outdoors. Possible Downsides • The log set and interior panels are required selections sold separately from the base unit, so plan for both when you compare. • Heat management is optional, not built in —reduced clearances for a TV above need the Dynamic Heat Control add-on. • Battery backup needs its own batteries —four AAs or a power bank, not included. If you want the fire itself—not the frame around it—to be the thing people notice when they walk in, the Altitude X is the right decision. The room it’s in becomes the room the house lives in. The look is yours to set: birch, driftwood, or oak log sets; interior panels from black illusion glass and reflective porcelain to Westminster and Newport brick; black or charcoal finishing trims; and Zen or Whitney decorative fronts.

Napoleon: Ascent B30

Napoleon · Gas Fireplace

Ascent B30

A real gas fire, sized for the rooms most fireplaces overwhelm. Quick Facts • Heating Capacity: 375–750 sq ft • Viewing Area: 23 11/16″ wide • Fuel: Natural gas; converts to propane with an optional kit. • Controls: Optional remote, available with on/off or thermostat control. • Fan: Optional Who It’s For Most gas fireplaces are built to heat a great room, and an oversized fireplace will cook you out of a small one—you end up running it on low and the room still gets stuffy. You need a fire sized to the room, not to the showroom . If the room you want warm is a den, a bedroom, or a condo living room, and you want it to feel like a fire instead of a furnace, the Napoleon Ascent B30 is the one to look at. Pick a bigger unit instead and you’ll spend the winter turning it down; pick this one and the room settles in at comfortable and stays there . What Makes It Special The B30 is the smallest fireplace in Napoleon’s Ascent line, with a compact body and slim depth that fits into walls where deeper units won’t go. The hand-painted split oak log set comes standard, so the fire looks like a real wood fire from day one—no upgrade required. Here’s the part that matters in January: the ignition has battery back-up , so the fireplace still lights when the power goes out—keep batteries in it, or connect your own power bank, and an outage doesn’t take your fire with it. And because it’s a sealed direct-vent unit, the exhaust never touches your room air; the fire burns outside air, and your indoor air stays clean. Possible Downsides • The circulating fan is optional , not included. • The remote and thermostat control are add-ons , not standard equipment. • Batteries for the back-up ignition are not included ; keep your own batteries or a power bank on hand for it to work in an outage. If you want a real gas fire in a room where most fireplaces would be too much, the Ascent B30 is the right decision. The room you used to walk past becomes the one everyone ends up in. The B30 takes the Heritage or Zen decorative front, black finishing trims, Mirro-Flame reflective porcelain panels, and beach fire, mineral rock, shore fire, or woodland media kits, so it can match the room you already have.
