Superior WRT/WCT2042 42-Inch Wood-Burning Fireplace
Create a bold focal point and experience the unmatched ambiance of a real wood fire with the Superior WRT/WCT2042 42-Inch Wood-Burning Fireplace. Designed for larger living spaces and open-concept floorplans, this high-performance fireplace combines traditional open-hearth styling with modern construction, delivering powerful radiant heat, long-term durability, and flexible installation options.
With its expansive 42-inch firebox opening, this model provides a wider, more dramatic flame presentation while producing the natural warmth only a true wood-burning fireplace can deliver. The fully insulated firebox helps retain and reflect heat back into the room, making it an excellent choice for colder climates and energy-conscious homeowners.
Inside, white stacked refractory panels enhance the brightness and depth of the fire, creating a visually stunning display whether the fireplace is in use for everyday comfort or as a centerpiece for entertaining.
Available in both radiant smooth-face and circulating louvered configurations, the WRT/WCT2042 can be tailored to your heating goals — from pure radiant warmth to fan-assisted heat distribution for improved airflow throughout the room.
Perfect for new construction, remodel projects, or commercial installations, this 42" model delivers the timeless experience of a traditional masonry fireplace with the efficiency, lighter weight, and installation flexibility of a factory-built system.
