ORLANDO, Jan. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- More than ever, homebuyers are in search of home products that help them set their homes apart and reflect their personal taste, while also providing them with extra flexibility.

  • Heat Duct Technology redistributes up to 25 percent of the heat to another area of the home via furnace ductwork. Two kits run simultaneously will reduce up to 50 percent of the heat.
  • Heat-Zone Plus takes it to the next level with an automatic fan that allows TVs to be mounted above the fireplace without a mantel or shelf, addressing many designer needs.
  • PowerFlow™ Heat Management Technology (exclusive to the Heat & Glo PRIMO) allows homeowners to redirect heat into an adjacent room or outside the home so they can enjoy the ambiance of the flames, no matter the season. It also maintains a consistent temperature around the fireplace to allow for limitless finishing options!
• Heat & Glo PRIMO: A sophisticated take on contemporary styling, the PRIMO gives homeowners complete design freedom. Zero restrictions on combustible finishing materials (including material like barn wood) eliminate concerns of overheating or safety hazards and offer the ability to safely hang a TV or valuable art above the fireplace for a completely custom look. Plus, the PRIMO features exclusive PowerFlow™ Heat Management Technology, which provides heat and flame control at the flip of a switch, allowing homeowners to comfortably enjoy the ambiance and beauty of a fireplace year-round.
• Heat & Glo Lanai: Offering contemporary style with a colorful firebed, the Lanai extends living areas while adding ambiance to comfortably enjoy outdoor spaces, a common request from builders, architects, and designers. At 51 inches wide, it features rust-resistant stainless steel construction, including a stainless steel interior that reflects and magnifies the flame, as well as a glass wind guard to protect those flames and keep them full and lively.
• Heatilator Novus: The best-selling fireplace for more than two decades, the recently updated Novus is an ideal fit for entry-level homes due to its versatility, excellent venting capabilities, and easy installation nearly anywhere.
• Majestic Echelon II: Active flames and multiple interior options pair to create a unique look for the Echelon II contemporary fireplace. Available in four single-sided and two see-through sizes, it features multiple fronts, surrounds, and media to allow builders to help their homebuyers customize it to their taste.
