Napoleon Ascent Series Overview

By: Spotix


Napoleon has long been one of our premier brands and for good reason; they make high-quality, feature-rich products. This Canadian company has made a name for themselves offering some of the best fireplaces on the market, and we're proud that they're part of the Fireplaces Direct catalog.

One such product is their Ascent Series of gas fireplaces. One of our top-selling and top-rated products, these home fire features offer excellent ambiance and a shallower profile that provides more versatile installation options. Below, we're going to walk you through the range of fireplaces we offer from the Ascent Series and related products and what makes them some of the best in the industry.

Napoleon Ascent Series Gas Fireplaces

Napoleon's most traditional gas fireplace, the core Ascent series provides the quality they're known for in a package that uses a hand-painted PHAZER ® log set and realistic flames to provide a classic look. On top of that, it's available in a spread of sizes to suit any space and budget.

Ascent Series Millivolt Ignition Gas Fireplace, 42-Inch

If you're building or upgrading and need a gas fireplace for a smaller room, this 42-inch model is just the ticket, as it provides the quality experience the Ascent series is known for in a compact package. It features a smart millivolt ignition that allows it to function even in the event of a power outage, making it an excellent backup heating option in cold climates.

On top of that, it is highly customizable, with an array of optional upgrades and add-ons so you can order it to suit your needs. The options available include:

  • Reflective porcelain panels to increase heating efficiency
  • Decorative safety barriers
  • Finish trim kits
  • A variety of media kits
  • Venting kits
  • Remote control with or without the integrated thermostat

Ascent Series Electronic Ignition Gas Fireplace, 42-Inch

Taking all the same quality and customizability of the 30-inch model above and putting it in a larger and more powerful package, this offering gives you an additional 7,000 BTU of heating. Perfect for a mid-sized space, this model also features an innovative electronic ignition that uses an intermittent pilot light to save on fuel costs.

Napoleon A scent X Series Gas Fireplaces

The Ascent X Series takes the standard line to another level with optional brickwork paneling and decorative surrounds, which are on display in this Ascent X model. They also feature an adjustable flame, heat control, and a SAFEGUARD gas control system to give you exceptional control over your experience.

They feature an electronic ignition with an intermittent pilot to reduce fuel use and a backup control system that allows the fireplace to be ignited easily during a power outage. They also use the same hand-painted PHAZER ® log set for a natural-looking flame experience.

Napoleon Ascent Linear Series Gas Fireplaces

Combining the classic design cues of the Ascent series with the modern appeal of a wider profile, the Ascent Linear series is an excellent middle ground between traditional and contemporary tastes. If you're looking to upgrade a space that toes that line, look no further.

As showcased in this 46-inch model, these fireplaces are as highly customizable as their core model counterparts with an additional twist: they come with a topaz CRYSTALINE™ ember bed that can be upgraded to a variety of colors or swapped with fire glass, giving you the ability to choose the palette that suits your paint and other decor for a seamless fit.
