The
Start of a Great Universal Mantel
Empire
Comfort Systems proudly introduces the White Mountain Hearth collection
of Universal Mantels. Empire's craftsmen (and women) build each
mantel from 3/4 inch fine furniture grade cabinetry components,
including select hardwood veneers. Because this natural wood can
vary in appearance, we grain matched the components for each mantel.
It takes a little more time, but assures you of a better looking
mantel.
Each
mantel is detailed in matching solid wood trim - in oak or poplar.
The full 3/4 inch cove moldings and edge trim add structural integrity.
Matching decorative trim pieces - in complementary sizes - add beauty
and character. To ensure that your mantel keeps on looking beautiful
for years, they glue and nail each trip piece. Special tooling and
controlled environment allow the craftsmen to assemble your mantel
with greater precision and tighter joints than all but the most
skilled custom woodworkers can achieve.
Furniture-grade
cabinetry components and 3/4 inch real wood moldings ensure lasting
beauty.

The Perfect Finish
White
Mountain Hearth mantels are hand sprayed with specially formulated
UV-cure finish that's more durable and more uniform than brush-on
finishes. To ensure a perfect color match, all the components for
your mantel are finished at the same time, by the same craftsman,
using the same batch of stain or paint. After curing, your mantel
is hand packed - ready to ship. Oak trimmed mantels can be ordered
with a light oak finish perfect for modern, airy spaces. The dark
oak finish adds a touch of formality and warmth and makes your mantel
the focal point of any room. The warm, rich cherry finish - applied
over the hardwood veneer and solid wood trim mantel - brings out
every detail in the wood grain and molding. Many designers prefer
cherry finish for its ability to "color" a room and adapt
to changing light.
The
versatile white finish - also applied over the hardwood veneer and
solid wood trim mantel - acts as the perfect artist's pallet for
modern and traditional settings. Use accent colors and fireplace
trim to makeover the mantel to suit the season or your mood. For
custom installations, White Mountain Hearth Universal Mantels are
available in unfinished oak and unfinished hardwood. (Note: The
unfinished hardwood mantel is crafted from fine-grain poplar veneers
with poplar trim. It is stainable, not just paint-grade.)
The
Best Fit
White
Mountain Hearth Universal Mantels are available in full, flush,
and corner models. Matching bases and laminate trim help you design
the perfect hearth for your home. They built their mantels to fit
the Vail Fireplaces and the Breckenridge Fireboxes, but the versatile
design allows these mantels to suit almost any desired opening.
So, with just two simple saw cuts, your installer can tailor your
White Mountain Hearth mantel to fireboxes and fireplaces from most
other manufacturers. The result is a clean, custom-look installation
at a fraction of the cost.

Vail
Vent-Free Fireplaces
The
Vail vent-free fireplaces offer just the right combination of ambiance,
efficiency and convenience - not to mention unmistakable comfort.
Design-certified by the American National Standards Institute and
zero clearance certified, each model offers 99% fuel efficiency.
Requiring absolutely no ventilation to the outside, the fireplaces
install easily on any wall and operate by drawing in the room's
existing air, then heating and re-circulating the warmer air back
into the room for maximum comfort. The modulating hydraulic thermostat
models regulate the temperature, and the millivolt models are thermostat
and remote-capable. For maximum safety, the pilot light on each
model is equipped with an oxygen depletion sensor and an automatic
shut-off valve.
The
Tahoe Collection: Complete Direct-Vent Fireplace Systems
Tahoe
Direct-Vent Fireplaces are simple, elegant, and complete. Direct-vent
fireplaces draw in fresh outdoor air to support combustion, and
exhaust the combustion byproducts to the outdoors. The Tahoe's vent-within-a-vent
isolates the incoming fresh air from the exhaust, yet requires just
a single opening through he roof or outside wall. The Tahoe 30 is
heater-rated at 63-percent efficiency at 20,000 BTU. The Tahoe 36
and 42 arrive as decorative units, but convert easily to heater-rated
systems. The Tahoe includes the exclusive Slope Glaze Burner and
Charred Oak Log Set. Heat-resistant, tempered glass covers the hearth
opening. Louvers at the top and bottom help circulate the warmed
air, and all controls are discreetly concealed behind the lower
louvers.
Options
& Accessories
Replace your Tahoe's standard flat black louvers and frame with
polished brass or high-gloss black. These accessories are sold separately,
so you can create the look that's right for your room. Select all
brass or all high-gloss black for formal settings, or accent the
standard flat black frame with brass louvers. Take charge of your
fireplace with the battery-operated remote control, battery-operated
thermostat remote, electric remote control, wall thermostat, or
wall switch. Tahoe RF models include the thermostat remote system,
which automatically varies flame height and blower speed to maintain
your pre-set room temperature. Single speed or variable speed blowers
help circulate the warmed air throughout the room. The optional
FreshAir+ System blends warmed air with outside air to continuously
freshen your indoor air.
