Overview

The Sideline® 28 inch is the most compact version of Touchstone's popular 50-inch Sideline®. The Sideline® series has become so popular, customers regularly ask about finding a version in a size that fits their decor or room size. The Sideline® 28 has a ventless design, with the vent on the face of the fireplace delivering the heat. Like all Touchstone™ fireplaces, the Sideline® 28 has the most realistic flame available in an electric smokeless fireplace, and it will leave all your friends nervous about putting their hands up to the glass face.

The Sideline® 28 is perfect for smaller walls and RV's and delivers a built-in look and ambiance that other electric fireplaces can touch. No muss and no fuss, you'll have the look of a real fireplace, built right into your wall. The Sideline® 28 has 5 flame brightness settings featuring 3 colors and 2 heat settings, and the fireplace can be operated without the heat, so feel free to use it on a summer evening as well as on the coldest winter nights. Touchstone™ support is just a phone call, email or live chat away, in case you need help.

Realistic Flame

The heart of Touchstone's electric fireplaces is our exclusive, realistic flame. This flame set is so natural-looking, your friends will be nervous to touch the glass. The Sideline® 28 gives you 5 flame brightness settings ranging in 3 colors, from a quiet ember to a raging blaze, all of which can be controlled from the remote control or from the control panel on the face of the fireplace.

Multiple flame colors

To create the cozy atmosphere of a traditional fireplace, this electronic unit emits authentic-looking flames that emulate a real fire. The flames that Touchstone Home Products™ fireplaces create are natural enough to have friends and family think you own a traditional wood burning fireplace.
This fireplace has three color-changing options (orange, blue, and blue-orange), along with five settings, from a soft ember glow or an intense blaze. The lighting and heating options of this fireplace offer you the ability to customize your atmosphere to your liking. With both its look and performance, Sideline® gives you the total package. Both the heat and flame settings can be operated through a remote control. (Batteries not included)

Yes, it does heat your room

Sure it looks great, but the Sideline® 28 will help heat your room. We don't recommend the Sideline® 28 as your primary heat source, but it can help heat a room up to 300 square feet in space with a heater that delivers 3750 BTUs. It's perfect for taking the edge off a cool evening in the fall, or for giving your room a little more cozy warmth on a frosty winter night. Of course, the Sideline® 28 can also be operated without the heat on, but with electric fireplace operational. It's your choice and the Sideline® 28 wall-mounted fireplace makes it easy.

Now Comes With Both Faux Log and Glass Crystals -
Exclusive to All Touchstone Sideline Series Fireplaces

All Sideline® Series Fireplaces now come with both glass crystals and a faux log set. For a contemporary feel, install the glass crystals in your Sideline®  Series Fireplace. For a more traditional look, install the faux log set in your Sideline® Series Fireplace. The Sideline® Series Fireplace ships with both options, so you can choose the look that is right for you.

Mounting and Use
