The Empire Loft is a 27-inch vent-free gas fireplace insert with a contemporary linear burner. It installs in an existing masonry or factory-built fireplace opening that measures 14 5/8" high by 25 7/8" wide. It is set in place with a decorative front, called a surround, which is required. No chimney liner or venting system is needed.
The burner sits inside a black reflective firebox that adds depth to the flames. It produces a steady 10,000 BTUs of heat and is rated up to 99.9% efficient. Where local building codes allow, the 10,000 BTU model can be installed in a bedroom.
A millivolt ignition system works with optional remote controls and wall thermostats. It can be used for supplemental heat during many winter power outages. A fine mesh barrier screen is included. The unit is available for natural gas or propane.
