Who It’s For

Some people want a log fire; others want glass or stone. You want the choice without changing fireplaces. The Mendota FV34 Décor/Timberline is made for that. Settle for a basic box and the fire never becomes the room’s focal point.

What Makes It Special

Choose the fire style when you build it. Timberline is a traditional fire that comes from beneath white oak, birch, or driftwood logs; Décor is a modern fire that rises through media like liquid clear glass, clear ice cubes, natural river rock, or white tumbled marble.

Fronts, liners, and media combine almost without limit, so the fireplace matches the room when it is on and when it is off.

If the power goes out, plug in the back-up battery pack and the burner and flame height keep working; the fans and accent lights wait for the power to return. Mendota builds its fireplaces from heavy-gauge steel with full-seam welding and careful hand assembly in America’s heartland.

Possible Downsides

• A narrower flame range than the FullView. Mendota’s rated inputs give the FullView more room to turn down.
• Logs, liner, and front are sold separately. You choose each one to build the look.
• The fans need power. In an outage the battery pack runs the burner, not the fans.

If you want a fireplace that becomes the center of the room, the Mendota FV34 Décor/Timberline is the right decision. The room fills with warmth and everyone ends up gathered by the fire.

Choose the front or doors, the liner, and the log set or media, and add the LED floor light kit where offered. Ask about the Mendota Cool Wall, Versiheat, and FlexHeat kits, which move heat away from the wall or to another room.
