The Sideline® Series is built for recessed, in-wall installation and fits between standard wall studs, making it a go-to choice for both new construction and remodels. Whether you’re creating a minimalist feature wall, upgrading a dated fireplace with modern flair, or building a media wall under your TV, the Sideline® delivers a clean, built-in look.

-
Living rooms
-
Bedrooms
-
Basements

Because it doesn’t require gas lines or venting, it’s especially popular for retrofits and condos where traditional fireplaces aren’t an option.
