Product Description
The Forte™ Steel 40 inch Electric Fireplace combines a traditional style with a glass-free, matte black metal mesh screen front. This wall mount electric fireplace offers the classic size of a fireplace without a reflective glass front, resembling a wood-burning fireplace with the convenience of an electric fireplace.
As a part of the renowned Sideline Electric Fireplace collection, the Forte Steel Mesh Screen model offers easy flush mount installation, a built-in heater, and captivating 3-color LED flames. The Forte Steel showcases an exceptionally realistic flame display that rivals the charm of a gas-burning fireplace. Fueled by energy-efficient LED bulbs, it creates a soothing ambiance, and the cool-to-touch metal screen front enhances safety. For added comfort, the Forte Steel Mesh Screen Electric Fireplace provides supplemental warmth to rooms up to 400 square feet with its built-in 5000 BTU heater, offering high and low heat settings. To suit your style, it includes both glass crystals and a faux log set. Installation is a breeze, designed for wall mounting with flexible mounting options on the back or sides, and straightforward installation instructions are included. For safety, it's recommended to maintain a minimum clearance of 8 inches between the Forte Steel Electric Fireplace and the ceiling or any wall-mounted flat-screen television. Easy-to-follow instructions are provided for your convenience.
