Compact traditional gas fireplace, ideal for creating a true “ambiance fireplace” with a generous flame and a classic frame—perfect for family living rooms or renovations.
Tall version of the U33, with a spectacular vertical opening that elongates the flame and creates a column-of-fire effect—perfect for high-ceiling rooms and bold architectural décors.

Same 3-sided format as the U50, but with a much taller opening: a fireplace that stretches the flame upward to create strong visual impact in large living rooms and contemporary spaces.
Large 70″ 3-sided fireplace, offering a very wide glass surface and heating output suited to large rooms, with the option to finish materials flush to the frame for an ultra-clean look.
The Tall version of the U70, designed for exceptional projects: giant opening, tall flames, and a strong architectural presence—ideal for open-concept spaces, entry halls, and high-end residences.

Urbana fireplaces stand out for their very clean design, a large glass panel without a bulky frame, and a generous flame worthy of luxury fireplaces. The U33, U50, and U70 models are certified as direct-vent gas heating appliances, with efficient combustion and steady comfort.
At Noréa, we integrate these fireplaces into turnkey projects tailored to contemporary interiors in Montréal and on the South Shore.
Yes. Urbana gas fireplaces are designed as true heating appliances, certified to North American standards (CSA/ANSI) to provide efficient heat even in extreme cold.
Your Noréa advisor will recommend the model and output suited to the area to be heated and your home’s insulation.
Urbana fireplaces are available in natural gas or propane versions, depending on the selected model. The appliance must always be supplied with the type of gas indicated on the rating plate; any modification or conversion must be carried out in accordance with the installation manual by a qualified installer.
Our team helps you choose the right configuration based on your existing supply.
Urbana fireplaces are zero-clearance built-in gas fireplaces, intended to be integrated into a wall structure or custom surround. In an existing masonry fireplace, it is generally necessary to modify the hearth and chimney to meet direct-vent and clearance requirements.
A Noréa advisor will come to verify feasibility and propose the best solution (partial renovation or a new installation).
Depending on the model (U33, U50, U70, etc.), an Urbana fireplace’s output can heat an open main room or an entire living area, while also offering flame modulation for shoulder-season comfort.
During the in-home visit, we size the output based on volume, insulation, and the layout of your rooms.
This is often possible, provided the minimum clearances and finishing details indicated in the Urbana installation guide are respected.
Noréa Foyers Grand Montréal designs the surround, materials, and niche to protect your TV or woodwork and remain compliant with safety standards.
Like any gas fireplace, an Urbana must be inspected and serviced every year by a certified technician: burner check, gasket inspection, venting system inspection, and glass cleaning.
This preventive maintenance optimizes performance, extends the appliance’s lifespan, and maintains warranty validity.
Urbana offers a limited warranty on its gas fireplaces; registering the product online within 30 days of installation provides an additional year of coverage on the firebox.
Noréa Foyers Grand Montréal provides the necessary documents and can assist you in completing the registration.
For safety reasons, Urbana manuals require installation and service to be performed by a qualified installer or service agency, or by your gas supplier.
Our certified Québec teams handle delivery, installation, gas connection, and start-up of your Urbana fireplace, in compliance with local standards and the manufacturer’s warranty.
