Urbana · U55 Series

The biggest traditional Urbana builds.

A 52 × 42 window over 75,000 BTU of stacked flame — hearth presence at estate scale.

I

Clean face, no louvers

“Clean Face - No Louvers” — four and a third feet of glass sitting flush in slim steel, nothing else on the wall.

II

75,000 BTU of theater

The strongest input of Urbana’s traditionals, on the “3D Stainless Steel Burner” that stacks flame front to back.

III

Mirror-black depths

The black-enameled liner doubles the fire in its reflection — or go brick, herringbone or black glass instead.

Quick answers

The three things everyone asks.

Will it fit my wall?

It’s the big one: 62″ wide, 63⅜″ tall, framing 26½–28″ deep on an 8″ × 11″ direct vent. Send us a photo of your wall and we’ll confirm the fit before you spend a dollar.

Is bigger actually better here?

If the wall can carry it — yes. The 52 × 42 window is the largest in Urbana’s traditional line, and the room reads around the fire, not the other way. We’ll tell you honestly if your space wants the U44 instead.

What’s the upkeep?

No wood to haul, no ash to sweep. Like any gas fireplace it wants an annual service — that’s our trade, and the crew that installs it does it.

What it costs

Priced to your home — not from a chart.

Every wall is different — framing, venting, gas line — so your price is real, not a guess.
