The Heat & Glo® Twilight Modern indoor/outdoor gas fireplace received top honors from the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) as the winner of the Best in Outdoor Living Award at the International Builders’ Show in January 2013 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Winners were chosen by an independent judging panel made up of editors and building professionals. Products with the best combination of design, functionality, and innovation were recognized in five categories: Best Home Technology Product, Best in Outdoor Living, Best Indoor Feature, Best Kitchen or Bath Product, and Overall Best in Show.

The Twilight Modern is a two sided gas fireplace that combines two megatrends: contemporary design and outdoor living. The see-though design provides impressive fireside views from both inside and outside the home, doubling the ambience and enjoyment from one fireplace. It features sleek, contemporary styling with flames that rise through modern media and are reflected from a black porcelain firebox. Because it’s a closed system, the Twilight Modern provides a safe environment for enjoying fires within an arm’s length on outdoor patios, decks, or terraces.

Becky Upton, brand director for Heat & Glo, says, “We are honored to be recognized by NAHB with this prestigious award. For homeowners, the Twilight Modern is really two contemporary fireplaces in one that can be enjoyed whether relaxing inside or socializing outside. For builders and remodelers, one routine and cost effective installation produces two wow-factor selling points.”

The Twilight Modern uses direct-vent technology and innovative engineering to deliver a unique fireside experience—and a powerful 38,000 Btu. The unit splits the exterior wall of a home and can be installed flush with the inside or outside wall. It’s rated as a fireplace and exterior window and requires no additional flue or vertical venting, simplifying installation.
