This unique clean-burning fireplace features an elegant linear burner mounted between a matte-finished black full panel at the rear and a short tempered-glass deflector panel at the front.  Aided by multiple reflections through the glass in front, the Boulevard SL creates a high-definition contrast between the flames and the black panel.  With its clean lines and muted black finish, the Boulevard SL represents the last word in contemporary styling.

Every Boulevard SL includes an electronic intermittent ignition system that eliminates the standing pilot to help you save energy and money. The system includes a battery back-up switch to standing pilot to operate during power outages. The fireplace ships with an on/off wall switch to mount outside the fireplace. Upgrade to an optional wall thermostat, remote control thermostat, or even a programmable remote. Sized to fit in a stud wall, the Boulevard SL conceals its valve and control module below the burner. Openings in the casing let you route the gas supply from below, the side, or the back.

Shown with required decorative front (not included).

Recessed Installation

At just 5 1/2 inches deep the Boulevard SL is the first vent-free fireplace that can install fully in a 2 x 6 stud-framed wall. Add tile right up to the rectangular opening to create a stunningly beautiful, amazingly efficient clean-face fireplace.  The optional trim kit finishes the opening and adjusts for different depths of tile or stone. Recessed installation requires installing the included non-combustible material above and to the sides of the fireplace, and tile or stone to the fireplace opening. The optional trim kit hides tile edges and adjusts from 1/2 to 1 inch.

Partially Recessed Installation

In a 2 x 4 framed wall, the Boulevard SL can install, partially in the wall and finish with one of two fronts. Partially recessed installation requires installing included non-combustible material above the fireplace, and a Mitered Decorative Front.

Surface-Mount Installation

With the available fireplace wrap, the Boulevard SL can be hung like a framed art on any wall – including brick, stone, or conventional drywall – and finished with a decorative front. Surface-Mount installation requires a Mitered Decorative Front and a Fireplace Cabinet Wrap (select both options for surface mount installation).

Narrow Trim is not required for the fully recessed installation, but helps dress out the fireplace opening. Adjusts from 1/2 to 1 inch depth

Warranty:

  • All vent-free products carry a five-year limited warranty with a five-year limited labor warranty.
  • All remote controls and lighting systems carry a one-year limited warranty.
  • Refer to Owner’s Manual for complete warranty info.

Excellent Fireplaces

Fast shipping, reliable, quality fireplaces every time.

  • Researched and ordered my fireplace from US FIreplace Store. Pricing was a fair value however, the customer service was EXCELLENT! I had an issue with the direct vent venting. I called US Fireplace and the correct items were sent out the next day AND Janessa stayed on top of my return authorization and sent me the permissions and documents I needed to return the incorrect item and no cost to me, including return shipping. Overall, I am a very satisfied customer and my fireplace looks and operates flawlessly. I am glad that I selected US FIreplace to source my direct vent fireplace. Thank you for the great service.

  • I had placed an order, through Lowe's Home Improvement, for an Electric Firebox: Revillusion RBF42. Ordered 1st part of January. Was told I would have it in 3 weeks. When checking to see is it came in, was told it was delayed to 3/15. Was then told is was delayed until 4/25. Waited until 4/27 to check on it. Was then told it was now delayed until August. This firebox was going in a new Sun Room addition. I could not get my final inspection until the Firebox was installed. I went on line and googled for this same product. US Fireplace Store web site was given to me. This was on a Saturday. I call and reached a very nice man. Explain what I was look for. He checked and told me they had 30 of them in stock. I almost fell out of my chair. I clarified with him the product I was wanting. I ask how soon could I get it. He told me it would ship today. Again, was amazed. It arrived on the following Monday. What a pleasure and a relief working with US Fireplace Store and their employees. Exceed my expectations.

  • Great prices, quick delivery and fast hassle free services on the issue I encountered. I had purchased an electric fireplace unit that would not fit into the existing fireplace space. With one email I was able to get the wrong fireplace refunded and picked up at my home at no extra cost and the new one I purchased and delivered free of charge. Great company.
