Heat & Glo Introduces The Phoenix, An Industry-First Fireplace
Phoenix TrueView gas fireplace without glass front leads a new category in fireplace innovation
ORLANDO, Fla., Jan. 9, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Phoenix TrueView is a game-changer. Pairing the ambiance of a traditional open front fireplace with the convenience, design flexibility and easy installation of gas models, Heath & Glo®, the industry leader in design and technology, introduces the first new fireplace category in more than 30 years.
Homeowners previously had to make a choice between the convenience of gas or the realism of an open masonry or manufactured wood-burning fireplace. They could compromise with a traditional wood fireplace with a generic gas log set, which doesn't have the same aesthetic appeal. The new Phoenix fireplace solves this problem by providing the look and feel of a large traditional fireplace without the glass for the best view of the ultra-realistic logs, flames and glowing ember bed.
"Homeowners are looking for an unobscured view of the flames with the convenience and design flexibility a gas fireplace provides," said Jackie Schneider, Heat & Glo brand director. "Three decades ago Heat & Glo revolutionized the industry with direct vent technology, and the Phoenix builds upon this legacy of innovation by providing what homeowners and builders have been asking for: the benefits of gas without glass."
The Phoenix is also a win for builders in terms of design planning: in addition to satisfying homeowner needs, it offers the same clearances as a gas fireplace and horizontal venting, allowing for a quicker, easier install than wood fireplaces—saving time and money. It also utilizes new WhisperTone™ Technology, an innovative three-part system, which creates airflow while minimizing sound, plus an automatic damper, which stops air movement when the fireplace is off, preventing cold air from sneaking into the home.
Product highlights include:
- Design Flexibility: Safely place a TV just 12 inches above the fireplace without a mantel
- Customizable Appearance: Enhance any space with traditional brick or fade-resistant reflective black glass liners, beautiful logs and glowing LED ember bed
- Mild Heat: Add ambiance without overpowering heat; auto damper prevents cold air drafts
- Surround Sound: An optional Bluetooth speaker system allows homeowners to hear the fire as well as see it
