The Ortal Insert Collection brings the premium Ortal experience to existing masonry fireplaces. Available in two sizes (29″ and 34″), these inserts feature Wilderness technology, where the flame passes through the logs for striking realism, while keeping the cleanliness and comfort of gas. Frame options (black, antique bronze, brushed chrome), various-size surrounds, and a choice of interior panels (red brick, gray-tan brick, Blackridge, black reflective glass) enable a tailored integration into any high-end residential project.
• Wilderness Firelog Technology: flames through the logs for an authentic wood-fire look.
• Two sizes: Insert 29 (view 26 5/16″ × 16 11/16″) and Insert 34 (view 29 13/16″ × 20 3/16″).
• Output & efficiency: up to 35,000 BTU/h; AFUE up to 84% depending on fuel/model.
• Co-linear venting for inserts (flex liners in the existing chimney): 3″×3″ (Insert 29) or 4″×3″ (Insert 34).
• Heat barrier: micro-mesh screen compliant with ANSI glass-temperature requirements; official Ortal safety solution.
• Comfort & control: interior lighting, discreet fans, remote, Wi‑Fi, and wall switch; operation possible with or without power.
The Insert 34 delivers up to 35,000 BTU/h (NG or LPG) with AFUE 82–84%; the Insert 29 offers 35,000 BTU/h (NG) and 28,500 BTU/h (LPG) with AFUE 75–81%. Both models feature anti-reflective glass for a clear view of the fire and a modulating flame system to adjust ambiance and heat output.
Designed for existing fireplace openings: typical minimum width/height/depth dimensions are listed below (A–E). Venting is via two co-linear liners (combustion air + exhaust) to the chimney cap. Installation must be performed by a qualified contractor and comply with CSA B149.1 for gas appliances in Canada.
The micro-mesh screen and ceramic logs require little maintenance; seasonal cleaning of the anti-reflective glass and an annual inspection of the venting system are recommended in Ortal guides. (See the installation manuals and spec sheets linked to each model.)

Oui, lorsque l’installation respecte le manuel et la gestion de chaleur Cool Touch Wall, qui permet de réduire la chaleur en façade pour abaisser le téléviseur plus près du foyer. Les schémas de montage TV et exigences de rejets/chaleur sont détaillés par Flare; toujours suivre le manuel d’installation et la configuration de heat-release recommandée.
Le ST-45 est un foyer à évent direct (système coaxial scellé). La fiche technique liste un raccord 4×6 en configuration naturelle, et 3×5 avec power vent. Le manuel couvre les parcours, terminaisons horizontales/verticales et les dégagements au conduit. Un installateur qualifié doit valider le tracé sur place.
La puissance d’entrée maximale est de 36 000 BTU/h en gaz naturel (GN) et 28 000 BTU/h en propane (PL). Le fabricant annonce une efficacité jusqu’à 82 % (GN) / 83 % (PL). Les performances réelles varient selon la configuration, le réglage et la qualité d’évacuation.
Flare indique une certification CSA pour l’installation en Amérique du Nord. La garantie prévoit 18 mois sur l’électronique, 5 ans sur les vitrages (bris thermique) et 10 ans limités sur la boîte foyère et les brûleurs. Au Québec, l’installation du gaz doit respecter le Code CSA B149.1 et le manuel du fabricant.
