Versatile Installation
Recessed Installation
At just 5 1/2 inches deep the Boulevard SL is the first vent-free fireplace that can install fully in a 2 x 6 stud-framed wall. Add tile right up to the rectangular opening to create a stunningly beautiful, amazingly efficient clean-face fireplace. The optional trim kit finishes the opening and adjusts for different depths of tile or stone. Recessed installation requires installing the included non-combustible material above and to the sides of the fireplace, and tile or stone to the fireplace opening. The optional trim kit hides tile edges and adjusts from 1/2 to 1 inch.
Partially Recessed Installation
In a 2 x 4 framed wall, the Boulevard SL can install, partially in the wall and finish with one of two fronts. Partially recessed installation requires installing included non-combustible material above the fireplace, and a Mitered Decorative Front.
Surface-Mount Installation
With the available fireplace wrap, the Boulevard SL can be hung like a framed art on any wall – including brick, stone, or conventional drywall – and finished with a decorative front. Surface-Mount installation requires a Mitered Decorative Front and a Fireplace Cabinet Wrap (select both options for surface mount installation).
Narrow Trim is not required for the fully recessed installation, but helps dress out the fireplace opening. Adjusts from 1/2 to 1 inch depth.
