Napoleon Ascent Linear Premium 42 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace

Cold nights call for a fireplace that does more than fill a wall. It sets a mood. The Napoleon Ascent Linear Premium 42 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace brings that mood to life with a sleek linear design, customizable media, and a continuous ribbon of flame across the full length of the firebox. Dreamwood Living offers this fireplace for homeowners who want a modern focal point that works as hard as it looks.

Napoleon Ascent Linear Premium Series

Why the Napoleon Ascent Linear Premium 42 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Stands Out

This fireplace turns flame into design. Hand-painted driftwood, birch, or oak logs give the fire a natural texture. Glass beads or glass embers add a contemporary shine instead. Optional Beach Fire, Mineral Rock or Woodland enhancement kits let homeowners shape the exact look they want in a living room, den, or bedroom.

Control comes just as easily. The included enhanced full-function remote or the eFIRE app puts flame height, blower speed, top lights and thermostat within reach from across the room. No fumbling with knobs. Just a tap and the fireplace responds.

Safety and Convenience Come Standard

The Ascent Linear Premium 42 includes an upgraded premium safety barrier that gives a clear view of the flames while protecting against accidental contact with the hot glass. A blower, top lights and a full-function remote are included as standard.

The optional Universal Heat Management (UHM) system runs electricity-free and without blowers, circulating warm air through ducts rather than out the front of the fireplace. It also lowers clearances to combustibles and allows safe installation of a TV or artwork above the fireplace, opening up more layout options for a mantel wall or media center.
