Overview

A living room corner or a shallow wall recess gets this Napoleon Ascent, a vented gas unit fronted by clear glass. The shallow depth suits tight spaces, and the log set and burner come together.

A shallow firebox that fits corners and tight walls is the reason to consider it, and the frameless glass opens up the view of the flames. The limitation is clarity, since the install type reads freestanding while the unit is described as a direct vent fireplace.

Who it's for

Builders and homeowners working with limited depth find a vented unit that avoids deep framing. People wanting a plug-in heater or a simple stove should look at a different type of fireplace.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Direct vent design
  • Shallow depth for tight spaces
  • Clean face for a wide view
  • Hand-painted log set
Cons
  • Install type entry is inconsistent
  • Not vent free or electric
  • Warranty is limited

Performance notes

Realistic flames burn over a hand-painted log set, and the clean face leaves the glass unframed so more of the fire shows. An advanced burner and an approved safety barrier handle combustion and safety. Heat output is set by the burner rating and carried out through the direct vent system.
