Napoleon BL42NTE Ascent Linear Gas Fireplace

No, this is a direct vent fireplace. It uses a sealed system that vents directly through an exterior wall or roof, making it much more versatile for modern home installations.

The unit features a non-combustible design, which simplifies installation by eliminating the need for complex steel framing. However, you should always consult the installation manual for specific clearance requirements regarding surrounding wall materials.

The unit is remote control compatible, but you should verify with your specific retailer if the remote kit is included in your package or if it needs to be purchased as an add-on accessory.

This model features the signature Divinity flame pattern, which is engineered to mimic the dynamic, natural movement of a real wood fire rather than a static, uniform flame.

The built-in safety barrier is a required component for safe operation and is designed to remain in place while the fireplace is in use. It ensures protection without compromising the clean, linear aesthetic of the unit.

Yes, the Ascent Linear series is highly customizable. While it comes with Topaz Crystaline ember glass, there are various optional kits available to adjust the media and interior panels to better suit your room's design.
