Who It's For

In a larger formal room, a modest opening can look undersized under a full mantel. You need a traditional hearth with presence. If you want a big, squared opening lined in brick as the room's focal point, and heat isn't the point, the Traditional 110 is the larger of the two. It's certified as a decorative fireplace; choose an Ortal certified as a heater if you want warmth.

What Makes It Special

The Traditional 110 opens 42 11/16 inches wide and 34 1/8 inches tall, enough to frame a full log set under a classic mantel. Brick panels line the firebox, with a Blackridge or black reflective upgrade if you want something darker.

A TV or artwork can still go on the wall above, thanks to Ortal's passive cool wall. Frameless edges let the wall finish run straight to the flame, and passive cool wall technology keeps the wall over the fire usable for a TV or art.

Its heat barrier is a fine metal mesh screen, close to invisible from the couch. With the screen version and no lights, it can run on batteries, which means it still lights during an outage.

Its remote turns the flame on and off and runs timers and schedules.

Possible Downsides

• It's decorative-certified, not a heater; for warmth, an Ortal certified as a heater, such as the Front Facing line, is the better tool.
• In a smaller room the Traditional 90 keeps the same look with a smaller opening.
• The black reflective and Blackridge panels are upgrades, not standard.

If you want a grand traditional hearth with brick and logs, the Traditional 110 is the right decision. The formal living room starts getting used on weeknights.

Make it yours with any of the five included log sets, with bonfire, campfire, aspen, and branch sets as upgrades and red, tan, or black brick in herringbone or horizontal patterns, flat black, or Blackridge panels, and add a black reflective interior if you like.
