You see a lot at the National Association of Housing Builders (NAHB) International Builders’ Show, and while we love tools – there’s just too much other cool stuff that we want to let you know about. One of those things was the Twilight Modern indoor/outdoor gas fireplace. This is a two-sided gas fireplace that literally enables builders to take advantage of opportunities to capture the booming outdoor living market. If you live in a place that is arid and dry, like Vegas, or which has a more temperate climate, like the west coast and some other areas of the country, you can play with this type of solution to link the indoor and outdoor space in a home.
HHT Twilight Modern 2-Sided Gas Fireplace Features
With a product like the Twilight Modern, builders have a tool to really make a living space “pop” – and anything that helps sell homes in this economy, or gives builders a leg up is a good thing. Plus, you install the fireplace once – and you get two distinct purposes and uses out of it.
The Twilight Modern taps into two megatrends in home building today: contemporary design and outdoor living. Homebuyers can catch impressive fireside views whether relaxing inside or socializing outside. Plus, the way the fireplace works and looks is really great. The unit splits the exterior wall of a home and can be installed flush with the inside or outside wall. When you look at it in action, colorful flames rise through attractive modern media within a reflective black porcelain firebox.
The Twilight Modern uses Direct Vent technology and innovative engineering to deliver a unique fireside experience. For example, while the fireplace delivers a powerful 38,000 BTUs, sitting within an arm’s length of the unit on a patio, deck or terrace is completely safe. There is no additional flue or venting needed. As you can imagine, this minimizes installation hassles, while saving builders time and money.
