  • ebuild (1/22/2009)
  • Part of the company's Modern Collection, the LUX60 is a 60-inch direct-vent gas fireplace for buyers who want to make a style statement. Instead of faux logs, flames originate from a sculptural burner of randomly placed stainless steel tubes, and LED lights in the refractory create yet another dramatic effect with or without the flames. A sealed combustion system keeps carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide, and excess moisture from entering the home.
  • This is not Your Father's Fireplace: The Heat and Glo LUX60
  • (1/21/2009)
  • The LUX60 is a large-scale fireplace that commands control over the entire room. While it measures five feet wide by five feet tall, it is designed for zero clearance installation providing for placement flexibility. The flame is appropriately sized to the fireplace - large and high reaching. At the base of the flame is a sculpture burner featuring randomly placed stainless steel tubes that illuminate with the fire's heat. The refractory is enhanced with LED lights that can be turned on with or without the flames for a dramatic effect. The front of the LUX60 has a bold, industrial modern design, adding a hint of masculinity to the fireplace. The LUX60 captures the alluring effect of color in a gas fireplace like never before and is sure to set trends in the fireplace industry.

The outside face acts as a vent, so the fireplace does not affect indoor air quality, the company says. The exterior is weatherproofed so it needs no exterior cap. The unit is hurricane-rated and operates at 38,000 BTUs per hour. 888-427-3973.
