The Boulevard SL is a clean-burning fireplace that features an elegant linear burner mounted between a matte black panal at the rear and a short tempered-glass deflector panel at the front.
Aided by multiple reflections through the glass in front, the Boulevard SL creates high-definition contrast between the flames and the black panel. With its clean lines and muted finish, the Boulevard SL represents the last word in contemporary styling.
Installation Options
RECESSED
At just 5 1/2 inches deep the Boulevard SL is the first vent-free fireplace that can install fully in a 2 x 6 stud-framed wall. Add tile right up to the rectangular opening to create a stunningly beautiful, amazingly efficient clean-face fireplace. The optional trim kit finishes the opening and adjusts for different depths of tile or stone. Recessed installation requires installing the included non-combustible material above and to the sides of the fireplace, and tile or stone to the fireplace opening. The optional trim kit hides tile edges, and adjusts from 1/2 to 1 inch.
PARTIALLY RECESSED
In a 2 x 4 framed wall, the Boulevard SL can install, partially in the wall and finish with one of two fronts. Partially recessed installation requires installing included non-combustible material above fireplace, and a Mitered Decorative Front.
SURFACE MOUNTED
With the available fireplace wrap, the Boulevard SL can be hung like framed art on any wall – including brick, stone, or conventional drywall – and finished with a decorative front. Surface-Mount installation requires a Mitered Decorative Front and a Fireplace Wrap.
