Description
The Empire Tahoe Clean Face Contemporary 32" Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace combines sleek modern styling with dependable heating performance and exceptional flame presentation. Designed for use as a primary or supplemental heat source, this direct vent fireplace delivers up to 24,000 BTUs with natural gas or 22,000 BTUs with propane while maintaining efficiency ratings between 60 and 80 percent. Its sealed combustion system separates room air from combustion air, providing safe, clean, and energy-efficient operation for year-round comfort.
The Premium Clean Face Contemporary Tahoe features a large tempered glass viewing window that provides an uninterrupted view of vibrant flames without the appearance of traditional louvers. A specially engineered burner produces a rich, natural flame pattern that pairs with the required ceramic fiber rock set, sold separately. Each decorative rock is individually hand painted to create a refined contemporary appearance. A deep black polished porcelain steel liner reflects the flames for added depth and brilliance, while the optional lighting kit highlights the intricate details of the rock set and liner, creating an impressive visual display even when the fireplace is not in use.
Designed for zero-clearance installation, the Tahoe Clean Face Contemporary integrates seamlessly into finished walls for a true built-in appearance that complements modern interiors. Available with either Millivolt or Intermittent Pilot ignition, the fireplace supports optional remote or thermostat controls for convenient operation. Many configurations can continue providing dependable heat during winter power outages. Combining contemporary design, realistic flames, premium finishes, and Empire's trusted craftsmanship, the Tahoe Clean Face Contemporary 32" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace brings lasting warmth and sophisticated style to any living space.
