Description

Realistic Flames & Classic Style

Empire Fireplace Authorized Dealer

You want a fireplace that brings realistic flames, timeless style, and dependable heat, but many compact fireplaces look flat, produce weak flames, or lack the craftsmanship needed to elevate your home.

Smaller fireplaces can feel underwhelming if the flame presentation looks artificial or the viewing area feels cramped. Without the right design and burner technology, your fireplace becomes a decorative feature instead of a true focal point. You deserve something that feels substantial, not just functional.

The Empire Rushmore 36-Inch and 40-Inch Traditional Direct Vent Gas Fireplaces deliver impressive realism and warmth in a perfectly sized package for living rooms, dens, and remodel projects. With hand-painted premium logs, tall natural flames, a deep ember bed, and customizable interior liners, the Rushmore series brings the charm and depth of a wood-burning fire, without the mess, maintenance, or hassle.

Required Accessories: Liner and Log Set

This fireplace is design-certified under the American National Standard/CSA Standard ANSI Z21.88/CSA 2.33 and approved by Underwriters Laboratories as a Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Heater. Installation must follow the instructions in the provided manuals. Before installing, check with your local building authority to confirm compliance with local codes, including required permits and inspections.
