Touchstone Home Products – 40 in. Wall Mounted Recessed Sideline Steel Forte Electric Fireplace 1500W – Black

Touchstone Sideline steel electric fireplace takes all the features of Touchstone’s popular Sideline glass-faced fireplace but brings it to you in a matte black steel face design, ideal for more traditional room settings. In place of the glass face of the standard Sideline, the Sideline steel offers a black steel frame, with the heating element and log set behind a classic fireplace screen, lending to its more classic look. It’s ideal for dens, basements, or any room where a standard fireplace is being replaced or was never installed. The Touchstone Sideline steel electric fireplace was designed to meet the needs of contractors and do-it-yourself installers, who are looking for the realistic flame of a Touchstone fireplace mounted flush to a wall. By eliminating the glass surface, the design lends itself to less modern installations. Like standard Sidelines, the heating element is in the front of the fireplace, so the flame and heat vent are situated near each other. Add the metal fire screen to the 5100 BTUs of heat and you have a dramatically realistic flame set, all with no smokey smell or mess of a real fireplace. The Sideline steel has 2 heat settings (high and low) and will heat a room to 400 sq. ft. Also, the fireplace’s flame can be used without the heating feature. The Sideline steel is easy to install and comes with simple and understandable instructions.
