As strong as the name Napoleon, the line of Napoleon fireplaces are noted and valued throughout the hearth industry as one of the best, well-crafted brands of fireplaces in the market. They are priced primarily for the innovative designs they carry, as well as for the most patented technology used on each of the units available. And, with all the benefits that each of the Napoleon fireplace can offer, it’s no wonder that more and more consumers on the market have been running after the Napoleon fireplaces.
The History Of Napoleon Fireplaces
The history of Napoleon can be traced back to 1976 when the company was first established under the name Wolf Steel, Ltd. It was first known as the manufacturer and provider of steel railings, but was later noted to be a leading provider of wood burning and gas burning stoves and fireplaces when the founder, Wolfgang Schroeter, himself decided to create a line of highly efficient stoves made from cast iron. It was during the introduction of this first stove line that the company name was changed to Napoleon.
The Napoleon stoves product lines have gone through a lot of adjustments and developments through the years. Several additions to the features of the earliest stove and fireplace models were introduced, and it is these additions basically which allow the Napoleon line of stoves and fireplaces to welcome not just praises and accolades from their Canadian customers, but also from those who are living beyond the borders of Ontario and the United States. Today, with more and more people recognizing the wonders that Napoleon has to give, the company is now rapidly growing to become the leading fireplace and stove provider in the whole American continent.
Types Of Napoleon Fireplaces
The fireplaces and stoves of Napoleon are designed and developed in two different forms. The first is composed of wood burning stoves and fireplaces, while the other comes with the gas burning options. Let’s know more about these types by reading the following:
The Napoleon wood stoves are in the first place built with the EPA wood burning technology. Some of them are crafted from a solid cast iron, but in terms of style, some come with a pretty classic look, while others embrace a modern fireplace style. The wood stoves of the company now come in about five different models, while there are about three wood burning fireplaces offered along the line.
Of the wood burning heating systems offered by Napoleon, one name stands out as unique – the award winning 1150P Wood Gourmet stove. This stove features a stainless steel gasket that comes along with pot fenders and a hot plate. This comes in two designs, but both carry the classic look. This wood stove can be used as storage for wood or as a refractory lined firebox.
The Napoleon gas stoves, on the other hand, are designed for easier installation and operation options. They are available in three different forms, including the direct vent, vent free, and natural vent fireplaces. Each of these forms are composed of several stove models, each possesses qualities and capabilities that are to some degree dissimilar. For instance, the vent free gas stoves of Napoleon are crafted to eliminate the hassles of vents, like chimneys and flues. So instead of you having to spend some time and effort installing the ventilation system, you only need to set the fireplace up and kindle it with the use of a remote control.
The award-winning model under the Napoleon gas stoves is the GVF40 Vent Free gas fireplace, which is capable of heating an entire room for an efficiency level of around 30,000 BTU per hour. This unit also allows you to see the burning flames inside of it through its four-sided viewing area. This model now comes in traditional and modern designs.
A lot more notable products are now being designed and enhanced by Napoleon these days. New additions to each of the fireplace and stove lines are in fact being considered. The most popular by far is the line of Napoleon free standing gas stoves.
