On a cold winter’s night, there’s nothing like cozying up around the fireplace. But while the gentle crackling of the logs and warm, glowing embers create an unmistakable ambience, traditional wood-burning units are surprisingly inefficient at heating your home — that’s not to mention the resultant pollutants that worsen indoor air quality or the hazards of an open flame. Today’s electric and gas options provide safer, more affordable alternatives, yet few rival the real deal. With its reimagined LT radiant gas fireplaces, Valor aims to close that gap.

The Valor LT2’s expansive 50-inch viewing area puts its lifelike flames and handcrafted Grand Traditional logs on full display — creating a stunning focal point in any room.

Founded in 1977 in North Vancouver, the company got its start selling wood stoves, and that early history continues to inform its approach. The LT collection is rooted in authenticity, including the launch of larger Grand Traditional logs handcrafted to capture the form and character of real wood. A broad range of options expands the aesthetic palette — from rustic Driftwood to minimal Rock and Shale and modern Murano glass — while a new Grey Brick liner recalls the patina of well-worn masonry, joining the existing Plain Black and Fluted Black finishes. Together, they demonstrate Valor’s focus on delivering the tactile realism homeowners expect from a traditional hearth.

The effect is most striking in the flame itself. The LT1 and LT2 models produce vivid, dynamic movement across an expansive viewing area (40 and 50 inches, respectively), giving the fire a presence that anchors a room.

Beyond recreating the look of a natural flame, Valor’s V-Class burner technology also delivers energy-efficient radiant heating that warms the whole room. Additional features, including Valor’s patented HeatShift system (which helps keep surrounding walls cooler) and the HeatSplit system (which redirects convective warmth), further elevate performance. And because the LT line can run on battery power alone, it continues to function even when the power goes out — a quiet assurance during winter weather.

Valor has translated the sensory and architectural qualities of a wood-burning hearth into a system built for today’s standards: efficient, dependable and crafted with care.
