Product Description

The Highmark Traditional has a self-trimming frame, so it sits flush in a framed wall opening or cabinet with a finished edge and no separate trim kit. Behind the glass, a concrete-look firebox backdrop pairs with a driftwood log set and glacier crystals, which gives the flame a traditional look that still suits a contemporary room. It comes in 26, 30, 33, 38 and 44 inch widths.

You can set the flame to any of 10 colors, at 4 speeds and 5 brightness levels. The ember bed and LED downlight each have 10 color options of their own. Everything adjusts from the digital touch panel, the included remote or the Tuya Smart app over Wi-Fi, and voice control works through Amazon Alexa and Google Home.

The 1500-watt fan-forced heater puts out 5,118 BTU of supplemental heat for spaces up to 400 sq. ft. [confirm basis]. It has high and low settings and a thermostat that adjusts from 64°F to 88°F, confirm. Because the flames run with or without heat, you can use it for ambiance alone through the warmer months.

  • Flame and Ember Colors: 10 flame colors and 10 ember bed colors to match the room.
  • Flame Motion and Brightness: 4 flame speeds and 5 brightness levels.
  • Ember Bed and Downlight: 4 ember bed brightness levels plus a pulsing mode, and 10 downlight colors.
  • Thermostatic Heater (64°F to 88°F): Supplemental warmth for up to 400 sq. ft.
  • Smart Wi-Fi Control: Tuya Smart app, remote or digital touch panel.
  • Voice Commands: Works with Alexa and Google Home [confirm].
  • Media Kit Included: Driftwood log set and glacier crystals.

Reviews

This fireplace is amazing! We

"This fireplace is amazing! We replaced a very old zero clearance wood fireplace. The fireplace shipped in a timely manner and was delivered to the front door. Installation went well with no issues. The fireplace puts out a nice warm breeze that does not get the furniture too hot and fills the living room nicely. It has many features that allow you to find just the right setting for the mood. We now can enjoy a cozy fire every night without the work, smoke smell or safety concern. We highly recommend the Modern Ember Trad Fireplace!"

Very nice electric fireplace. Used

"Very nice electric fireplace. Used it to replace an old worn gas insert. Almost looks like it could be gas, with a slight recess and logs inside. Quiet and effective heater, color options, and even the crackling sound is nice at the right level. Happy with this choice."
