Ahead of the CurveFV41 Arch FullView Arched Fireplace
Innovations
Until now, the most common
way of creating the look of an
arched hearth was to install
an arched front or doors over
a rectangular firebox. But no
matter how stylish or well done,
there’s no getting around the
visible black area that appears
in the gap between the firebox
edge and the top of the curved
front. With the new FullView
Arch design, Mendota delivers
a truly arched aesthetic in a
shape and size that’s ideal
for most any residential or
commercial setting.
As visible glass and viewing
areas become increasingly
important purchase
considerations, the FullView
Arch maximizes both without
increasing the overall
installation footprint. Compared
to the regular FullView 41
model, the Arch model offers an
increase of nearly 60 sq. in. of
viewing area, with 833 sq. in.
of glass as compared to 774 sq.
in. on the non-arched model.
That means a better view of the
fire, from virtually any angle.
For years, cleverly designed fronts and doors have created the illusion of an arched profile for the hearth,
but truly arched fireplaces have been few and far between, typically developed as specialty fireplaces with
more limited applications. Now, Mendota’s new FullView 41 Arch brings the elegance and sophistication of
the arched design to a broader audience.
Building on the hugely popular FullView fireplace platform, the FV41 Arch continues the FullView series’
clean-face point of view, with minimal exposed metal and no telltale louvers or raised platform. But instead
of a rectangular firebox, the arched glass of the new FV41 Arch makes the already expansive viewing area
feel even larger—ultimately offering a better view of the award-winning Mendota fire.
The interior linings have been re-engineered to complement the arched design, so while the options remain
the same Red Soldier Course Brick and Black Porcelain Reflective as what’s available for non-arched
FullView models, the end result looks sleek and integrated. Mendota plans to launch additional arched
interior lining options in the near future.
Because this model is identically sized to FullView 41 models, all arched fronts currently available for that
model will fit perfectly on the new FV41 Arch. Selections include Wide and Narrow Grace Arch, Traditions
Arch, Willowbrook Arch and Bentley doors, each one available in up to five distinctive finishes that let
homeowners create a focal point that’s perfectly suited to the surrounding room.
Performance of the new FV41 Arch model is in keeping with Mendota’s rigorous standards. Heat output
of 40,000 BTUH plus an impressive CSA P.4 efficiency rating of 77.18% is paired with the Mendota
BurnGreen™ burner that gives homeowners choices for conserving fuel and helping the environment.
A New Take on an Old FavoriteFV34 FullView Fireplace
Innovations
Finding the right size fireplace
for a space, in terms of both
aesthetics as well as heat
output, is essential to ensure
long-term comfort for any home
or business. With the addition
of the FullView 34, Mendota
delivers today’s clean-face
styling in a size that’s been
proven over more than two
decades. Now, dealers have
a complete set of solutions at
their fingertips to fit various
sizes and shapes of rooms.
Typically, that also means
carrying additional inventory
to accommodate the many
fronts, doors and decorative
options available—but that’s
not the case with the FV34. It
was intentionally engineered to
the same size specifications as
previous Mendota models, so
existing fronts fit perfectly. That
puts consumers in complete
control of design elements
without adding unnecessary
SKUs to dealer stockrooms.
When looking to expand the wildly successful FullView fireplace series, Mendota drew inspiration from
the past. For more than 20 years, the DXV35 has been one of Mendota’s most popular fireplace sizes, and
while still a favorite, today’s homeowners are drawn to the clean-face look of the FullView design without
the additional metal and louvers. The market had spoken, and Mendota delivered—in the form of the new
FullView 34 fireplace.
Combining the size of the DXV35 with the clean-face look consumers love, the FV34 joins its larger siblings
the FV41, new FV41 Arch and FV46 to provide a full line of fireplace solutions to fit virtually any space.
The log set and burner configuration are identical to the DXV35/FV33i models, capturing the authentic
look and feel of a wood log fire in its most beautiful burning stages. The fire is further enhanced with
interior lining options including Red Soldier Course Brick and Black Porcelain Reflective, with additional
color choices in the works.
A big part of the Mendota fireplace experience is selecting fronts, doors and accessories to bring each
hearth to a perfect finish, and the FV34 is certainly no exception. All fronts and doors that are currently
available for FullView insert model FV44i will also fit the new FV34, including the versatile Grace Collection
offering arched and frame designs in two widths that can be used alone or in concert, along with optional
touches such as accent corners and accent bars.
Like others in the FullView series, the FV34 features Mendota BurnGreen™ technology to provide the
ultimate in style, convenience and green efficiency. Though sized for smaller areas, the FV34 still provides
a generous 32,000 BTUH, with CSA P.4 efficiency ratings clocking in at an impressive 77.4%.
Expanding HorizonsML39 MOD FullView Modern Linear Fireplace
Innovations
Clearly, aesthetics were a key
driver in the development of the
new FullView Modern Linear model,
but Mendota also called upon the
company’s 100+ years of expertise
in gas appliances to ensure the
ML39 MOD delivers the same high-
level performance, efficiency and
safety that homeowners expect
from the brand.
While many panoramic or modern
fireplaces fall into the “decorative”
category, Mendota FullView
Modern Linear models are ANSI/
AGA certified high efficiency wall
furnaces. Using the smart, efficient
BurnGreen™ platform, the ML39
MOD offers heat output of 34,250
BTUH, but still ranks among the
industry’s most efficient with a
77.3% rating based on the CSA P.4
test method.
Safety remains a top priority, and
like all Mendota fireplaces and
inserts, the ML39 MOD is in
compliance with all government
safety screen regulations. But
thanks to innovations like the new
micro safety screen that virtually
disappears once installed over the
fireplace, homeowners don’t have
to choose between being safe and
having a beautiful hearth.
The second in the FullView Modern Linear series, Mendota’s new ML39 MOD delivers every inch
of the contemporary styling and exciting options of its predecessor—in a slightly smaller footprint
designed to fit more rooms than ever.
Mendota’s first foray into the panoramic category, the ML47 MOD, launched in the fall of 2014 to
overwhelming response. For the new model, Mendota maintained the popular panoramic proportions,
but made the firebox slightly narrower to create a size that’s ideal for moderately sized living rooms,
dining rooms or master suites.
What didn’t get smaller are the number of fronts, finishes and other decorative options that allow
homeowners to completely customize the look of their hearth. Three fronts, Grace, Traditions
and Willowbrook, are available in five sophisticated finishes including Black, Antique Copper,
Brushed Chrome, Swedish Nickel and Vintage Iron. The Grace front can also be paired with either
the Traditions or Willowbrook fronts in complementary or contrasting finishes for a bolder hearth
presence. Accent corners for the Grace and Traditions fronts in the same five finishes, accent bars in
Black plus magnetic dome rivets in four finishes complete the look.
The options continue to the firebox interior. Fire base offerings range from spa-inspired choices
like Driftwood, Forest Oak and Natural River Rock to selections such as Black or Liquid Clear Glass
Diamonds that bring a little more “bling” to the fire. Even the panoramic interior lining can be
customized, from perennial favorites such as Black and Copper Porcelain Reflective to newer metallic
finishes including Midnight, Mocha and Silver.
