What is "linear direct vent" for fireplaces?

12 years ago
I see one of your product says" Linear Direct Vent Fireplace" does it mean it needs a chimney or some kind of vent for the fireplace?

    Hello,

    Linear direct vent fireplace means you don't need a chimney. You can vent this to go through the roof or through a wall horizontally. I would recommend contacting the manufacture to make sure this will work for you.

    Thank you,
