Fireplaces are changing with the times, and the newest generation of modern gas fireplaces are designed not to just put off heat, but to make a design statement.
The new "Tureen" from Napoleon is a new concept in fire features that can be installed in places where a traditional fireplace cannot.
The Tureen can be installed just about anywhere because it doesn't require any clearance to combustibles, and the Safe Guard gas control system automatically shuts off gas supply when needed.
This is especially important in areas like California where there is a danger of earthquakes, and a severed gas line can mean fire.
This direct vent gas fireplace takes air for combustion from outside, and then exhausts the gasses from combustion, making it very efficient.
Changes in form are also joined by changes in function.
When the fire goes out the fun keeps going, the exclusive Napoleon Night light provides illumination to set the mood.
This is a great feature that adds to the utility of the product.
The Tureen also features a hand held thermostatic remote that controls the blower, flame intensity, temperature and the night-light.
The new generation of modern gas fireplaces is available through high-end design centers scattered around the country.
If you are not near a design center, or want to get a better deal by buying direct from the factory, check out the factory direct e-commerce companies on the internet, in many instances you will find a wider selection, and a better deal than a traditional retail store.
