  • Page 69: Flare Fireplaces - Double Glass

    OVERVIEW With an effort to make our fireplaces safer, Flare Fireplaces is offering our full line of products with a safety double glass technology. The Flare Fireplace double glass is built with two layers of glass. The design allows cool air to flow between the two layers, with the help of built-in blowers, which significantly lowers the temperature of the external glass making it safe for a brief touch.

  • Page 70: Power Requirements

    The following sizes MUST be maintained for the lower air intake: For fireplaces sized 60” / 150 cm and above - vent area must be at least 70 square inches. For fireplaces sized 50” / 125 cm and below - vent area must be at least 50 square inches. For See Through and Room Definer fireplaces, the air intake requirements are double.
