The Nova Clear is unlike anything else Modern Flames builds. Instead of an LCD panel it uses a patented laser-projection display that is over 80% transparent — so the flames appear to float in mid-air, and you can see straight through the fireplace to the room beyond. That makes it a genuine two-sided room divider rather than a fireplace with a window in it. When the fire is off, the same display accepts an HDMI source and becomes a media screen.
- Over 80% transparent laser-projection display — true see-through, viewable and beautiful from both sides.
- Doubles as a media display — HDMI video streaming when you are not running it as a fireplace.
- 4 flame styles — wood-burning, gas, hybrid and a Custom style unique to the Nova.
- 6 flame colours including an aqua found on no other Modern Flames model.
- Dolby® Audio built in.
- Dual-voltage PTC ceramic heat — 4,100 BTU at 120V or 8,200 BTU at 240V, heating up to 800 sq ft.
- Three installation methods — built-in, island, or floating wall, single-sided or three-sided bay, in 2×4 or 2×6 framing.
