Empire Comfort Systems has redesigned its line of traditional-style, direct-vent gas inserts with a true clean-faced look—backed by a host of new decorative accessories. The new DVC inserts ship with a fine-mesh barrier front that conceals the air-circulation channels at the top and bottom to put the focus on the fire. The matte-black firebox interior does not require a liner; however, the insert can be customized with one of three optional ceramic-fiber liners in brick (or with a rich black porcelain liner). DVC inserts come in three sizes—20,000, 26,000, and 28,000 Btu—to warm any room. A selection of surrounds (plus a shroud) helps ensure a perfect fit for most existing site-built and manufactured wood-burning fireplaces. Complete the fireplace with one of three decorative fronts, available in finishes of matte black or rich bronze.
