The Forte® Electric Fireplace is a 40-inch wall mount electric fireplace that combines the top-rated features of the Sideline Electric Fireplace Series. It offers a realistic LED flame display, built-in heater, and cool-to-the-touch front, making it the perfect size for a build-out accent wall. We see this as a great option for retrofitting in existing fireplace openings where customers no longer want to use gas or wood burning. Perfect for creating a stunning accent wall, the Forte adds both warmth and visual impact to your living room or family room. The Forte is an environmentally friendly option to a traditional wood-burning fireplace, ensuring a clean and odorless ambiance.
Control the Forte Electric Fireplace from your lounge chair using the included remote control or Smart mobile app. Connect it to compatible smart home devices through the app for added convenience. Discover more about setting up the Wi-Fi features. The wireless remote control requires AAA batteries (not included).
The Forte® Electric Fireplace's true-to-life flame is powered by energy-efficient LED bulbs. With 5 flame settings and 3 colors, you can easily adjust the flame intensity to match your room's lighting or mood.
The Forte Electric Fireplace offers customization with three flame color options and five intensity settings. Enjoy the cozy ambiance of realistic flames in orange, blue, or blue-orange hues. The Forte is equipped with 10-color ember bed options that operate separately from flames. The remote control ensures convenient operation for your preferred lighting and heat levels.
Enjoy the beauty and warmth of a fireplace without the open flame or cleanup. The built-in heater warms up to 400 sq. ft. with 2 heat settings. The heat-free option allows you to enjoy the realistic flames in any climate or season.
Streamline your space with the Forte® Electric Fireplace. This wall-mount masterpiece boasts a button-free, vent-free design for a sleek look. Installation is a breeze with multiple mounting options. Get complete instructions in the manual or call 800-215-1990 for assistance. Elevate your ambiance with the Forte® Electric Fireplace.
For safe clearance from heat vents, mount the fireplace at least 8 inches from the ceiling. Leave 8 inches of space between the fireplace and a flat-screen TV for TV mounting. We recommend placing the fireplace at least 6 inches from the floor.
