Overall Dimensions: 42 in. W x 18-5/16 in. D x 38-13/16 in. H
The Napoleon Ascent Linear Premium 42 is a single-sided linear direct vent gas fireplace with a 37-1/2 in. x 16-3/4 in. viewing area, made for a modern wall in a living room, bedroom or den. It comes with an internal heat-circulating blower, a premium safety barrier, the eFIRE controller and remote, and a battery backup, so the features that are extras on other linear fireboxes are standard here. You choose the log set that completes it.
