Renaissance Rumford 1500 Wood Fireplace
The Renaissance Rumford™ was the world’s first certified open-door clean-burning fireplace. The Rumford 1500 brings that same award-winning design in a larger format — size and performance at their finest. Our patented Rumford design has taken the traditional elements to the next level thanks to custom engineering, precision manufacturing, and quality materials.
The only fireplace in history to win an award from the American EPA — and also recognized by IIDEX and the Vesta fireplace industry innovation awards.

- Lights faster and burns brighter than a traditional masonry fireplace
- Ultra-low emissions — no visible smoke within two minutes of lighting
- Airtight doors — seal tightly to prevent warm air from escaping; optional Chimney Top Damper for passive homes
- Gas Log Provision — access panel accepts aftermarket gas log assembly (no gas lighter)
