Superior Direct Vent Gas Fireplaces
Superior's direct vent gas range spans traditional and contemporary formats, with sealed combustion that draws air from outdoors and exhausts back outdoors through the same vent assembly. Because the vent can terminate horizontally through an exterior wall, these fireplaces install in rooms that never had a chimney.
The DRC series covers contemporary clean-face models in 33, 35, 40, and 45-inch widths, with the DRC6340 and DRC6345 adding electronic ignition, a remote, and crushed glass media. The DRL line extends into see-through linear configurations at 48, 60, and 72 inches for peninsula and room-divider installations. Media options across the range include crushed glass for a contemporary look and aged oak log sets for a traditional one.
Why Buy a Superior Direct Vent Gas Fireplace
- Sealed combustion keeps exhaust and combustion byproducts entirely out of the living space.
- No chimney needed, since the vent can terminate through an exterior wall.
- Range covers contemporary clean-face, traditional, and see-through linear formats.
- Electronic ignition models add remote operation and thermostat control.
- Media choices from crushed glass to aged oak logs significantly change the look.
What to Consider When Buying
- Establish your venting path first. Maximum vent run length and elbow limits often decide where the fireplace can be located.
Confirm the rough opening and framing depth before construction, particularly for see-through models, which are deeper. - Decide between millivolt and electronic ignition based on whether you need operation during a power outage.
- Choose your media deliberately, since crushed glass and log sets produce very different results in the same firebox.
- Plan gas line routing with a licensed professional before the wall is closed up.
