Why the Napoleon Ascent Linear Premium 46 Direct Vent Gas Fireplace Fits Any Room
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 46 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.
