Superior WRT/WCT3042 42-Inch Wood-Burning Fireplace
Make a bold statement in larger living spaces with the Superior WRT/WCT3042 42-Inch Wood-Burning Fireplace — a high-performance, fully insulated fireplace designed to deliver powerful radiant heat, an expansive flame presentation, and flexible installation for today’s homes and commercial environments.
Part of Superior’s WRT/WCT3000 Series, this model combines the traditional charm of a masonry fireplace with the efficiency and lighter weight of a factory-built system. The extra-wide 42-inch firebox opening creates a dramatic focal point, while the stacked refractory brick interior enhances flame reflection for a brighter, more dynamic fire.
The fully insulated firebox improves heat retention and overall performance, making this fireplace an excellent solution for cold climates, open-concept floorplans, and large rooms where stronger radiant heat is essential.
Choose between a clean-face radiant design for a seamless built-in look or a circulating louvered configuration that allows for blower-assisted heat distribution — giving you the flexibility to match both your design and heating goals.
Whether you’re building a new home, upgrading an existing space, or designing a commercial gathering area, the WRT/WCT3042 delivers the authentic wood-burning experience with modern durability and installation versatility.
