A Direct-Vent system uses two vent pipes. One draws air in from outdoors to support combustion. The other exhausts the by-products of combustion to the outside. The two vent pipes may be concentric (exhaust pipe within a larger diameter intake pipe) or co-linear (separate pipes of about the same size).

Combustion takes place inside a sealed chamber – with a glass front in the case of a fireplace. Room air circulates around the combustion chamber, often assisted by a blower, to heat the room.

A DV system is often installed along an outside wall to simplify the vent run, but can also be installed elsewhere in the home and vented through the roof.

Advantages:

• Good efficiency – 60 to 80%
• Good heat output with thermal transfer through the glass and air circulation
• Separates room air from the combustion air
• May be used as a primary heat source
• Can operate with a remote or thermostat
• Most systems can provide live-saving heat during a winter power outage

Boulevard Linear Traditional Fireplaces

Traditional Boulevard fireplace has two choices of distinct accessory log sets (required).  The traditional Charred set features meaty oak logs with rough bark, exposed wood, and charring. The Driftwood set is lifted straight from a remote beach with each log worn smooth by wind and waves, and then dried under the hot sun to reveal the rich grain and deep whorls.

The optional variable-speed blower circulates even more warmth into the room.
