Who It’s For

Building a fireplace into a new wall or a remodel means choosing something you will look at every day for the next twenty years. You want it to look like a classic hearth and work like a heater. If you are after a traditional log fire with a screen front, in a room that has no fireplace today, the Kozy Heat Nordik 36 is that fireplace. A decorative unit gives you the look; this one keeps the room warm through January.

What Makes It Special

The Nordik 36 comes with the fan, an ember-bed light, a top light, and a remote as standard equipment. The fan pushes warm air out into a living room and the space around it, and the two lights keep the logs and embers glowing.

Eight front styles, from vented rectangular and prairie fronts to vintage bronze mission and arched mission, plus five firebox linings, let it match a farmhouse or a formal living room. Some fronts pair with a heat-distribution kit that moves warm air out through vents.

It is approved for bedroom installs.

Possible Downsides

• Logs, front, and firebox panels are separate, required choices.
• Several of the screen fronts require a heat-distribution kit, which adds a part to the order.
• It ships set up for natural gas. Running it on propane takes an add-on valve motor.

If you want a classic log fireplace in a wall that does not have one, the Nordik 36 is the right decision. The new wall becomes the place the family gathers.

Choose traditional or birch logs; a vented rectangular or prairie front, or a black, antique copper, or brushed stainless rectangular front, a black prairie front, or a vintage bronze mission or arched mission front; and black glass, black brick, Chicago brick, ledgestone, or herringbone firebox panels.
