Original T&C Fireplace vs. a "Look-Alike"
SAFETY–Town & Country Fireplaces are built with ceramic
glass. The "Look-Alike" uses tempered glass. Ceramic
glass is capable of withstanding temperatures exceeding
2000-degrees F. We can save money by using 500-degree F
tempered glass, but tempered glass is susceptible to thermal
shock and loses its temper over time. The increased risk of
glass shattering is not worth the savings.
CONSTRUCTION–The Town &
Country firebox is built with twice the steel thickness of the
"Look-Alike" (.105 thickness vs. .052 thickness) and
Town & Country fireboxes are seam welded, not spot-welded.
Thicker, better-built fireboxes are the secret to providing an
airtight seal that prevents flue gases from seeping into the
room and virtually eliminating the possible annoying sound of
"oil canning" found in less expensive builder boxes.

DDVTECHNOLOGY™
FLAME DESIGN–Take the Town & Country challenge and burn
both fireplaces side-by-side. The Town & Country flame
soars to the top of the fireplace filling the box with dancing
yellow flames and the glass virtually disappears leaving you
with a full view of the gorgeous fire. The flame of the
"Look-Alike" is narrow and dull and the reflections
in the glass do not disappear. The engineers of Town &
Country Fireplaces invented the patent pending Decorative
Direct Vent concept and the difference is obvious. The
realistic wood flam is the reason consumers want a Town &
Country Fireplace. When it comes to flame technology... there
is no substitute.
We refuse to cut corners that
will compromise safety, durability or performance.
