Frequently Asked Questions

What sizes does the Empire Boulevard come in?

The Boulevard is available in 36", 48", 60", and 72" widths to match a wide range of room scales — from accent fireplaces in bedrooms to feature walls in great rooms.

Direct vent vs vent-free Boulevard — which is better?

Empire only manufactures the Boulevard as direct vent — a sealed combustion design that draws air from outside and exhausts back outside. Direct vent is safer for tightly-built modern homes than vent-free.

Can the Empire Boulevard be installed against an exterior wall?

Yes — the Boulevard's direct-vent design supports both rear-vent (through an exterior wall) and top-vent (through the roof) configurations. Always confirm vent terminations meet manufacturer clearance specs.
