Creating a cozy atmosphere of a traditional fireplace, this electronic fireplace has realistic flames with a real fire look.

Designed to use one log or crystals, if you prefer you can mix both safely. INSTALLATION: This Sideline installs simply and can safely be attached to framing studs. The sides and back of the unit remain cool to the touch with the heat feature on. Recommended minimum of 8” of space between the top of the fireplace and your TV, mantel, picture, or ceiling.
