C OR P OR A T E NO T E S Hand-crafted quality: The legacy of luxury NOW MORE THAN EVER, HOMEOWNERS ARE CONSIDERING THEIR OPTIONS CAREFULLY – AND SPENDING WHERE IT REALLY COUNTS. A TOWN & COUNTRY LUXURY FIREPLACE IS MORE THAN JUST A FIREPLACE. IT IS AN ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE, A SOPHISTICATED STATEMENT ABOUT A HOME OR SIGNATURE PROJECT – AND AN INVESTMENT THAT WILL RETAIN ITS VALUE FOR YEARS TO COME. manufacturing facility, means Town & Country can provide a level of product quality and customer support unsurpassed in the industry. Town & Country's "clean- face" realistic looking gas fireplaces were launched in 2003, and immediately revolu- tionized the industry, disproving the long-held belief that a gas fireplace could ever mimic a real wood fire. It eliminated the mechanical facings and louvers In this era of mass-production, Town & Country Fireplaces remains a hand-crafted product with premium materials and crafts- manship. While some manufacturers use spot-welding or screwed metal seams, or fabricate their products using lighter materi- als which may "tick" and "bang "as they warm up or cool down - Town & Country Luxury Fireplaces, by comparison, are hard-crafted with heavy 12-guage steel, offering superior heat dispersion. A Town & Country firebox is continuously full-seam welded, and is up to 58% heavier than other clean-face fireplaces. The result is quieter operation and safer, gas- tight joints for more durable performance. Town & Country Fireplaces is a division of Pacific Energy Fireplace Products, a company founded in 1978 on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Since its inception, the company has been a leader in the hearth industry. Experience, coupled with a state-of-the-art that obscured the hearth, and added huge, life-like flames that successfully emulate the look of a wood-burning fire. From one fireplace that redefined con- sumer expectations, Town & Country has now expanded the Design-A-Fire concept to include 10 different fireplace models, 9 dif- ferent fires with logs, river rock or sparkling glass, and 8 firebox panels (the liners that form the back and sides of inside the fire- place) – all interchangeable, and resulting in over 300 different configurations. Our promise is backed up by our limited lifetime warranty, and by a North America-wide network of dealers committed to providing the utmost in service and support.
