Ortal Front Facing 98H Gas Fireplace

Over eight feet of fire, built into the wall. Quick Facts • Viewing Area: 97 3/16″ wide—just over eight feet of fire. • Fuel: Natural gas; propane with a conversion kit. • Controls: Remote with thermostat, timer, and eco modes; app control available. • Interior Lighting: Included, dimmable—run the lights with or without the flame. • Safety Barrier: Your choice of a protective mesh screen or double glass. Who It’s For Most linear gas fireplaces are a ribbon of flame a few feet wide, and on a big feature wall they read as a detail, not the point. You planned the wall around the fire, and the fire should hold it. You need a fire scaled to the wall, not a fireplace the wall has to carry. If you’re building or remodeling around a statement wall—the kind with finish materials running edge to edge and a TV or artwork above—the Ortal Front Facing 98H is the one. Pick a standard-width linear instead and the stone does the talking; pick this one and the fire does . What Makes It Special The opening is frameless and just over eight feet wide . There’s no grille and no trim requirement—tile, stone, or plaster runs right to the edge, so the fire reads as part of the wall instead of an appliance set into it. Ortal’s passive cool wall construction means a TV or artwork can hang directly above the fire . On a wall like this one, where the fireplace and the screen share the same few feet, that decides the whole layout. Because this is an H model, internal lighting comes standard and dims from a soft glow to full brightness. Turn the lights on without the flame and the logs stay part of the room on a July evening as much as a January one . Possible Downsides • It won’t operate during a power outage —the built-in lighting means the 98H runs on an AC adapter rather than batteries. • It ships set up for natural gas ; propane requires a certified conversion kit installed by a qualified technician. • The black reflective interior is optional , not included. If you want a fire scaled to the whole wall, the Front Facing 98H is the right decision. The wall you designed the room around becomes the reason everyone stays in it. The 98H comes with your choice of five included log sets—standard, weathered driftwood, refractory clay, and short or long English logs—plus optional bonfire, campfire, aspen, and charred-branch sets, single branches in black, grey, or white, a mesh screen or double glass barrier, and an optional black reflective interior.
