Description
The Empire Tahoe Clean Face Premium 32" Zero Clearance Direct Vent Gas Fireplace combines clean architectural styling with dependable heating performance and beautifully realistic flames. 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 direct vent design separates combustion air from indoor air, providing safe, efficient, and reliable operation for year-round comfort.
The Premium Clean Face Traditional Tahoe features a large tempered glass viewing window that offers an unobstructed view of the fire without the appearance of traditional louvers. A specially engineered burner creates rich, natural flame patterns that pair perfectly with Empire's optional ceramic fiber log set, which is required for operation and sold separately. Each log is individually hand painted with realistic bark textures, knots, and charring to recreate the authentic beauty of a natural wood fire.
Designed for zero-clearance installation, the Tahoe Clean Face Premium integrates seamlessly into finished walls for a refined built-in appearance. Available with either Millivolt or Intermittent Pilot ignition, it also supports optional remote or thermostat controls for added convenience. Many configurations can continue providing dependable heat during winter power outages. Combining elegant clean-face styling, realistic flames, efficient performance, and Empire's trusted craftsmanship, the Tahoe Clean Face Premium 32" Direct Vent Gas Fireplace is an excellent addition to any living space.
