OVERVIEW
A Direct-Vent system uses two vent pipes. One draws air in from outdoors to support combustion. The other exhausts the by-products of combustion to the outside. The two vent pipes may be concentric (exhaust pipe within a larger diameter intake pipe) or co-linear (separate pipes of about the same size).
Combustion takes place inside a sealed chamber – with a glass front in the case of a fireplace. Room air circulates around the combustion chamber, often assisted by a blower, to heat the room.
A DV system is often installed along an outside wall to simplify the vent run,
but can also be installed elsewhere in the home and vented through the roof.
Advantages:
- Good efficiency – 60 to 80%
- Good heat output with thermal transfer through the glass and air circulation
- Separates room air from the combustion air
- May be used as a primary heat source
- Can operate with a remote or thermostat
- Most systems can provide live-saving heat during a winter power outage
Boulevard Linear Direct-Vent Fireplaces
These larger-than-life fireplaces deliver all the ambiance and warmth you need for large spaces. Choose the Boulevard 48 (38,000 BTUs Nat and 34,000 BTUs Propane) or the Boulevard 60 (46,000 BTUs Nat and 42,500 BTUs Propane).
Tailor your Boulevard to suit your taste, starting with an elegant porcelain black liner that goes well with any décor. Or opt for an industrial-chic look with the Ridgeback liner – a one-piece corrugated metal liner finished in distressed bronze. A liner is required for the 60-inch, and optional for the 48-inch (the 48-inch comes standard with a Matte Black liner).
Acres of crushed glass cover the fireplace floor (available in a variety of colors), while the variable lighting (built-in on the 60-inch, and an option for the 48-inch) lets you set the perfect mood – whether the fireplace is burning or not. Choose our new Copper Reflective or Bronze Reflective crushed glass – or our existing Clear Frost. These translucent shades of crushed glass allow the under-floor white light system to shine through, but you can accent with other glass colors including our drops and droplets.
The available Rustic Log Set includes a unique assortment of ceramic fiber logs and stones, plus coiled slivers of stainless steel that react to the light and flames to bring your fireplace to life.
