American Hearth has added an all-new luxury version of its direct-vent insert that takes its Franklin series upscale. With its valve and controls discreetly concealed behind the surround, this unique, heater-rated, clean-face insert has no visible louvers. This clean look focuses all of the attention through the large, ceramic-glass view window—400 square inches on the 30,000-Btu model and 584 square inches on the 35,000-Btu model—providing an unobstructed view of the fire. The handpainted, seven-piece log set nicely fills the wide and deep firebox and complements the look of any of the three optional liners. Every Franklin luxury insert includes a multifunction remote-control system that adjusts flame height and blower speed—either manually or automatically (in thermostat mode). The remote can also switch the insert from intermittent pilot (with battery backup) to standing pilot, to provide uninterrupted heat during an extended power outage. To complete the installation, American Hearth offers surrounds, as well as decorative fronts in several styles. American Hearth products are made in the United States.
