"The Sideline Elite 60 was the perfect size for Tammy’s living room (proportional fit). Its sleek design and realistic flame made it an easy choice for creating a high-end look. The Encase Mantel in Espresso finish added a beautiful contrast to the white shiplap, that aligned with Tammy’s vision for her home,” Radek shares.

Perfect Pair for a Fireplace Accent Wall

This 60-inch wide Sideline Elite® electric fireplace aligns perfectly with the 60-inch Touchstone Encase® Floating Shelf Mantel and 65-inch flat screen television. Builders especially appreciate the quick and easy Encase® Mantel installation. The Encase® is available in a variety of widths and finishes.

Touchstone® Electric Fireplaces can be found in many of Radek Prestige Carpentry's projects. Clients love them, and they are easy to install into any accent wall style.

“My favorite features of Touchstone fireplaces are their realistic flames, clean designs, and customizable heat settings. I also love that they offer Wi-Fi enabled remote control, making it easy for clients to adjust the flame, heat, and timer from their phones (so convenient!).”

The Best Fireplace for Florida Climate

Radek appreciates that his clients can enjoy the ambient flames with or without the heat.

“Since we live in Florida, an electric fireplace is the most practical option. They add ambiance and coziness to any room, even in warmer places like Florida. The optional heat settings give the ability to enjoy the realistic flames year-round without generating heat during our warm summers.”
