Product Overview
Touchstone 80048 40-Inch Forte Steel Mesh Screen Non Reflective Recessed Electric Fireplace features a glass-free, matte black, metal mesh screen front for a more traditional style. Combining a classic fireplace size without a reflective glass front, the Forte Steel has the look of a wood-burning fireplace with the ease of an electric fireplace.
The Sideline® Steel Mesh Screen Non Reflective Recessed Electric Fireplace also comes in a 60-Inch size.
All the Features of The Sideline® Series, in a Classic Fireplace Size
Like all Touchstone® electric fireplaces, the Forte Steel gives you the beauty and warmth of a fireplace without the open flame, smell, or cleanup. The Forte Steel Mesh Screen model includes all the features of the top-rated Sideline Electric Fireplace collection, including easy flush mount installation, a built-in heater, and realistic 3-color LED flames.
Realistic Flame, Cool to the Touch Front
The true-to-life flame sets Touchstone electric fireplaces apart from other brands. Customers tell us the flame display looks just like a gas-burning fireplace. Energy-efficient LED bulbs power the flame and deliver the same relaxing effect of real flames, without the smell or mess.
The metal screen front remains cool to the touch, for added peace of mind when using the fireplace around children or pets.
Control the flame intensity and colors by remote control or touchpad. The Forte Steel has 5 flame intensity settings from soft ember to full fire blaze and 3 flame colors: orange, blue, and orange/blue combo.
Built-In Heater, All-Season Use
No chimney, venting, or gas line is needed, the Forte Steel Mesh Screen Electric Fireplace adds coziness to your room with the push of a button. The heat and flame controls work independently so you can enjoy the flames in any season or climate, with the heater turned on or off.
The built-in 5100 BTU heater adds supplemental heat to a room up to 400 square feet. The heater has two heat settings (high and low).
Includes Both Faux Log and Glass Crystals - Exclusive to All Touchstone Sideline™Fireplaces
All Sideline™ Fireplaces ship with both glass crystals and a faux log set, so you can choose the style that is right for you. For a modern feel, use the crystals; for a traditional look, use the faux log.
Mounting and Installation
Designed to be inserted in a fireplace accent wall or mantel, the Forte Steel's heat vents are located on the top front of the unit. You can also hang the 5 1/2-inch deep Forte Steel directly on the wall, and add a surround if desired. Mounting is available on the back or sides of the unit.
Simple, easy-to-follow installation and mounting instructions are included.
Recommended Distance From Mounted TV
We recommend placing your Forte Steel at least 8" below your ceiling or 8" below your mounted flatscreen television for safe clearance from the heater.

Let customers speak for us
very tentative to customer service return calls promptly good company to deal with
Went well beyond the call of duty to answer all questions politely and unhurriedly.
Your company provides professional service.
Save yourself a headache and give those guys a call...they listen and advise you to make final decision. I am very pleased with overall burner package performance and help. Warming Trends is "Mercedes" in burners performance and quality. Thank you Jordan and rest of your team involved in my order....well done folks
It’s perfect it’s beautiful we loved working with the guys. They were so helpful and patient they delivered within a minimal time. I just can’t say enough I’m very very happy it made it so easy.
We are so happy we built our Harth and wall excited to get finished. Your company was amazing to work with they sent us all the information we asked for. They were very patient and it took us about a month to decide but they were waiting for us and then delivered. Loved working with y’all. Thank you so much Alice and Sam Hearnsberger
Jordan and I spoke numerous times over several months as I was preparing to order a fire pit burner for one of the hotels our company is building. I wanted to have a substantially large sized burner to entertain our many guests. So, I wanted to do my research and select the right product and pay a fair price for the unit. Checking with several vendors of this product I felt that I received great information and as was my goal a fair price. Once I confirmed that I was ready to place the order Jordan my rep got busy and placed the order with the manufacturer and he gave me a correct ETA for the product so that I could plan the install with my contractor. Fair price and great service.
Jordan helped me unreal awesome service I’m so pleased
Ordering was easy. The order arrived on time and without any damage. One, Two, Three done!
We love our Electric Fireplace. It fits perfectly in our LivingRoom. My wife took on the project of painting all the stones to make them stand out a lot more . They were pretty drab , but they painted up very nicely.
THANK YOU FOR THE GREAT SERVICE/ COMMUNICATION AND THE SPEEDY SHIPPING/ FREIGHT. WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND......
Arrived in perfect condition. There was a phone call regarding my choice of the door on the Vermont Castings Encore. Was my error for not interpreting the choice correctly. I'm glad he caught it. It was crated extremely well...could have gone around the world several times!!
We found Royal after seeing the Warming Trends products in-person. Rey chatted with us online, then we spoke on the phone, then he followed up with a detailed email to explain everything we needed and attach product links. Sooo helpful, that all needed to do was add the products to our cart and checkout. Many thanks!
And did I mention that there was no pressure at any time? Couldn't ask for a better online shopping experience!
