Combining contemporary aesthetics with practical functionality, the Modern Commercial Fireplace meets the demands of high-end commercial environments.

How to Select a Commercial Fireplace

Specifying a fireplace for a hotel lobby, a restaurant or an office reception is a different exercise from choosing one for a house. The unit runs longer hours, the public can reach it, and most of these decisions are difficult to reverse once the wall is framed. Four choices shape the specification. Take them in this order.

Start with the opening, not the model number. Flare’s Modern Commercial fireplaces are linear units available in lengths from 30″ to 100″, in three glass heights – 16″ Regular, 24″ High and 30″ Extra High – and in two configurations.

A Front Facing unit presents the flame to a single room. A See-Through unit sets one firebox into the wall between two spaces and shows the same flame from both faces, which makes it useful as a divider between a lobby and a lounge, or between a dining room and a bar.

Every width and glass-height combination has its own framing dimensions, vent adapter size and depth. The full dimension tables for both configurations are further down this page, and the wood and metal framing guides are in the download section.

This is the decision most often revisited late in a project, so it is worth settling early.

A Safety Screen sits across the opening. On both Front Facing and See-Through fireplaces it is extremely effective and visually almost invisible – you see the flame, not the barrier. Its weakness is physical: it can be damaged by contact, which matters anywhere the public, children or cleaning staff can reach the fireplace.

Double Glass places a second, actively cooled outer pane in front of the ceramic glass. It gives a clear view of the flame with nothing in front of it and it stands up to being touched. That is why Double Glass is included by default on the Flare Commercial System, while the Safety Screen is the default on the Residential System, though it does get selected for some commercial projects. The Commercial System also uses a wider unit and dedicated cooling fans between the glass.

One consequence worth settling at design stage: Flare’s Double Glass operates without requiring a power vent, but any direct vent Flare fireplace using Double Glass or a blower kit must follow the Air Intake Specification Manual. That manual and the Heat Release Specification Manual are both in the download section below.

Natural venting is the default and the simpler installation. It depends on the run being achievable within the manual’s limits for rise, length and elbows.

Where the site will not allow that – a long horizontal run, a restricted chase, or a termination that has to come out in a particular place for the façade – the optional Power Vent allows a vent as small as 3″ × 5″ and opens up routes natural venting cannot reach.

A Power Vent can be added after the initial order, but it is considerably cleaner to specify at the outset than to retrofit. Resolve venting alongside the mechanical drawings, not after them.

Decide how the fireplace will be switched on and off before the electrical rough-in, because it determines what has to be run to the unit.

The Flare Commercial System supports:

  • a simple ON/OFF wall switch for staff operation;
  • an analog or digital timer – the usual choice where the fireplace should run to set hours and never be left burning overnight;
  • building automation and third-party smart devices, wired through signal relays, where the fireplace has to sit inside a wider control system.

If the concern is heat rather than flame – a lobby that wants the look in summer without the output – the optional Summer Kit controls heat output on both Double Glass and Safety Screen equipped units.

All Flare Modern Commercial fireplaces are certified under CSA file #263124, ANSI Z21.88 / CSA 2.33, and are approved for installation across North America, including California and Massachusetts.
