The Ultimate Wood Burning Fireplace
The Original Arched Fireplace™
Fireplace Xtrordinair (sometimes called the FPX) the “Original
Arched Fireplace”, introduced the trademark product shape of
the parallel arches, the arched viewing area and the parallel
arched face over a decade ago. The unique design of the deli-
cate lace pattern concealing the air intake and heat exchanger,
and the arches have identified Fireplace Xtrordinair to thou-
sands of discerning homeowners all over North America.
Nothing Matches A Real Log Fire
When you enter a home, what’s the one thing that makes you
feel instantly welcomed and relaxed: the cheery crackle and
dancing warm flames of a real log fire on the hearth.
The fireplace has always been the heart of the home. The
mood it inspires sets the stage for all our fondest memories
of romance, family sharing and festive gatherings around
the fireplace. This wonderful ambience is threatened by
society’s need for efficient use of fuel and a cleaner, healthier
environment.
The fireplace of old, and most manufactured fireplaces, cannot
meet these demands. Any heat generated by a traditional fire-
place goes up the chimney and not into the home.
The solution is the Fireplace Xtrordinair Elite series of wood
burning fireplaces. This state-of-the-art fireplace design, avail-
able in two different sized models, provides the warmth,
romance and beauty of a traditional hearth without heat loss
and air pollution. Our Elite fireplaces are installed as framed in,
zero clearance fireplaces, and have an enviable overall efficiency
rating up to 73%. Both models are certified by the EPA as a clean
burning, environmentally responsible heating appliance.
The Furnace That Looks Like A Fireplace
The Elite series by Fireplace Xtrordinair is designed to main-
tain the aesthetic appeal of the fireplace while delivering
up to 76,700 BTUs/hour, through a decorative grill built into
the face design, framing the fire and enhancing your home
decor. Other heat-circulating fireplaces require large unsightly
louvers or highly visible vent boxes above the fireplace open-
ing, sacrificing the traditional hearth look.
The entire Elite series features sleek lines and large glass
doors for an expansive view of the fire. Add the optional
black painted, nickel plated face or hand-hammered Artisan™
face and door for a dramatic flair. Only Fireplace Xtrordinair
creates such a uniquely beautiful, versatile look in a high BTU
output fireplace.
Home Air Recirculator
You also have the option to install the powerful blower within
the home and use your Fireplace Xtrordinair as a Home Air
Recirculator, that circulates heated air throughout the home.
No Fireplace Burns As Clean As Fireplace Xtrordinair
A source of heat for your home shouldn’t be a source of
pollution for our environment. Fireplace Xtrordinair utilizes
the latest catalytic technology to reduce emissions by 90%
compared to conventional fireplaces. A catalytic combustor
reduces the temperature at which smoke ignites, causing it
to burn before it leaves the firebox. Unlike most fireplaces,
the Fireplace Xtrordinair Elite series surpasses the EPA’s strict
emissions standards for wood stoves - in fact, emissions are as
low as 2.3 grams of particulates per hour for the Model 36 Elite
and 2.5 grams for the Model 44 Elite!
One of the unique design features of Fireplace
Xtrordinair’s Elite fireplaces is that you can
use fresh air which is drawn from outside the
home for both combustion and heat transfer
through a unique concept called ‘Posi-Pressure’.
Posi-Pressure technology draws outside air into
the cavity around the fireplace, heats it, and
circulates it throughout the home via a quiet,
remote blower. The heated air naturally ‘seeks
out’ and penetrates cold spaces, warming the
entire home evenly while ‘sealing’ cracks, leaks
and other drafty spots by preventing cold air
infiltration.
