You want a traditional gas fireplace that delivers a clean, built-in look, without the bulky louvers or vents that take away from the fire's beauty. Many gas fireplaces have distracting metal grilles, oversized frames, or cluttered trim that reduce the elegance of your living space. Instead of a seamless, built-in appearance, the fireplace looks like an appliance sitting inside the wall. The flames may look decent, but the overall design doesn't match the polished style you want in your home. The Empire Tahoe Clean-Face Deluxe Traditional Direct Vent Gas Fireplace gives you a stunning, louver-free design that looks fully built-in, just like a high-end custom fireplace. With a clean-face front, realistic log set, upgraded burner system, and multiple interior liner options, it delivers a natural, beautiful flame presentation, without any of the visual clutter found in standard fireplaces. Efficient direct venting ensures clean indoor air and consistent, comfortable heat. This fireplace is design-certified under the American National Standard/CSA Standard ANSI Z21.88/CSA 2.33 and approved by Underwriters Laboratories as a Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Heater. Installation must follow the instructions in the provided manuals. Before installing, check with your local building authority to confirm compliance with local codes, including required permits and inspections.
