Napoleon Astound Series

Napoleon Astound Electric Fireplaces, Indoor and Outdoor Rated

Napoleon Astound is an electric fireplace series rated for indoor and outdoor installation, which separates it from most electric fireplaces on the market. The models share the same flame and differ only in how they mount.

Built-in or Flexmount

The built-in recesses into a framed opening for a finished, flush result.

The Flexmount does that too, and also hangs on the wall surface with no framing. If you are undecided about opening the wall, or you may take it with you, the Flexmount keeps both options open at the cost of nothing.

Rated for outdoors, with one honest caveat

Both models carry an outdoor rating and still need a covered, protected location.

Be clear about why you are putting one outside. An electric fireplace heats by warming air, and outdoors that air moves away before you feel it. It is bought outdoors for the flame, not the warmth. If you want people to actually feel heat on a patio, pair it with patio heaters, which radiate directly to whoever is sitting there.

Sizing the heat

5,000 to 10,000 BTU depending on setting. That is supplemental heat, enough to take the edge off a room rather than to carry it through a cold night. The flame runs independently of the heater, so the unit works year round.
