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.
