Simply press a button to create a cozy ambiance at your convenience. What sets this fireplace apart is its independent control of heat and flame, making it adaptable for any season or climate. You can relish the mesmerizing flames with or without the heater activated.

        This fireplace boasts a built-in 5100 BTU heater, capable of supplying supplementary warmth to a room spanning up to 400 square feet. Featuring two distinct heat settings, high and low, you have the flexibility to tailor the temperature to your desired comfort level.

        Includes Both Faux Log and Glass Crystals -
        Exclusive to All Touchstone Sideline™Fireplaces

        Every Sideline™ Fireplace package comes complete with two distinct options: glass crystals and a faux log set, granting you the freedom to select the style that perfectly complements your preferences. Opt for the glass crystals for a sleek and contemporary ambiance or embrace the timeless charm of the faux log set for a more traditional appearance. The choice is entirely yours.

        Mounting and Installation

        The Forte Steel is thoughtfully crafted for effortless integration into your fireplace accent wall or mantel, with its heat vents strategically positioned on the top front of the unit. Alternatively, you have the flexibility to wall-mount the 5 1/2 Inch deep Forte Steel directly, and even embellish it with a surround if you so desire. For your convenience, mounting options are available on both the back and sides of the unit.

        Our product package includes clear and user-friendly installation and mounting instructions, ensuring a straightforward setup process.

        Recommended Distance From Mounted TV

        To ensure a safe clearance from the heater, we advise positioning your Forte Steel at a minimum distance of 8 inches below your ceiling or mounted flat-screen television. This placement offers both functionality and safety in your space.
