Who It’s For A fireplace usually picks a side of the wall. The living room gets the fire, and the dining room behind it gets drywall, so half the evening happens away from the flame. You need a fire you can see from both sides of the wall . If you’re building or remodeling and want one fireplace to carry two rooms—or to stand in for the wall between them—the Ascent Multi-View is the one. Pick a single-sided unit instead and one of those rooms will always be the other room . What Makes It Special The glass runs straight through the wall, so both rooms get the full fire —flames, not the back of a firebox—and enough heat for the spaces on either side of it. It works as a room divider that warms instead of just separating, and Napoleon also makes a three-sided peninsula version if your wall ends in open space. Here’s the part worth knowing before the next outage: the electronic ignition has a battery back-up, so it still lights when the power’s out —as long as you’ve kept four AA batteries in it. It builds into a framed wall during construction or a remodel, so the project includes finish work like tile or stone around it—budget for the whole job, not just the unit. Possible Downsides • No remote is included —on/off and thermostatic remotes are optional additions. • Outage lighting depends on four AA batteries that don’t come with the unit, so keep a fresh set in it. If you want one fireplace to carry two rooms instead of one, the Ascent Multi-View is the right decision. The wall between the rooms becomes the place everyone ends up—on both sides of it. The look is yours to set: glass ember and bead media in a range of colors (topaz glass embers come included), logs, mineral rocks, a metal coil, nickel stix designer fire art, wrought iron globes, and MIRRO-FLAME reflective black porcelain panels.
