MANTELS

Depending on the width of the mantel it may be installed higher or lower from the top of the louvre opening. See drawing and chart below for proper installation height of your combustible mantel piece. Non-combustible mantels may be installed at any height above the appliance opening.

When using paint or lacquer to finish the mantel, such paint or lacquer must be heat resistant to prevent discolouration.

The Vermont Casting BHDR36 is a versatile and high-performing gas fireplace that seamlessly blends efficiency with style. This fireplace is distinguished by its 36-inch width and offers an impressive heat output, making it an ideal choice for both heating purposes and aesthetic appeal in any home setting.

Ease of use is another hallmark of the BHDR36. It features a convenient remote control that allows users to adjust the flame height and heat settings with ease. The fireplace’s electronic ignition system ensures a reliable start-up every time, and the adjustable flame allows for a customizable experience based on individual preferences.

Safety is paramount, and Vermont Castings has designed the BHDR36 with this in mind. It includes features such as a safety shut-off valve and a protective screen to prevent accidental contact with the flames. These safety elements provide peace of mind for families and pet owners alike.

In summary, the Vermont Casting BHDR36 is a perfect combination of cutting-edge technology, stylish design, and user-friendly features.
