Upon reflection

Even in a resort-style setting, there's a need to provide a cozy interior for those cooler days and nights. This house features the new Xtreme gas fireplace from Fireplace Xtrordinair an architectural fireplace with strong visual appeal.

The Xtreme is significantly larger than most gas fireplaces. Measuring 5ft by 20in, the Xtreme will automatically be the focal point of a living area, entrance or outdoor setting. In this home, the fireplace's bold, horizontal lines reinforce the contemporary interior design.

Fireplace Xtrordinair president Kurt Rumens says this fireplace is also characterized by its dramatic flame presentation and adaptability. Homeowners can choose the internal configuration and fire art that best suits their requirements. This fireplace, for example, features an innovative bamboo setting. The reflective interior enhances the dramatic look of the flames behind the bamboo.

Other Xtreme interiors include dancing flames over a fractured-glass media floor, and there are numerous fireback options to personalize the look still further.

The Xtreme delivers up to 90,000BTUs of heat as required. This can be directed into additional zones in the home. A hand-held remote control provides for easy operation.

Other recent additions to the line-up from Fireplace Xtrordinair include the Illuminations Electric Fireplace. This features a flickering display of electric candles that provides the ambiance and romance of a candle-lit room. The Illuminations comes in two models landscape or portrait style and can be either single-sided or see-through. Other options include a choice of fireplace liners black, beehive brick, travertine tile or cast shell.
