This innovative design enhances the realism of the flame presentation, resembling a natural wood-burning fire. Additionally, Napoleon’s exclusive heat management system allows users to maximize comfort while minimizing energy consumption.

Both fireplaces come with customizable options, including a variety of decorative media such as river rocks or glass beads, allowing homeowners to personalize their space to match their unique style. Furthermore, Napoleon offers optional remote controls, making operation effortless.
