The Majestic Ruby & Trilliant — A Fire That Needs Only a Floor

Two freestanding gas fireplaces from Majestic: the Ruby, dressed to order, and the Trilliant, fully loaded. One 30-inch fire on a black pedestal, with no hearth and no mantel, and a shelf beneath it for whatever the room likes to keep close.

Some fireplaces are built into a house; others are brought into it. The second kind is what people ask about when there is no chimney, no alcove and no wall they would care to open — a fire that arrives whole, sets itself down on the floor and asks for only three things: a supply of gas, a way out for its exhaust, and a place in the room where everyone can see it. It needs no hearth, Majestic is plain about that, and no mantel.

Majestic makes two of them, and they are the same fire in two moods. Each is a 30-inch firebox behind ceramic glass, set in a black steel pedestal with an open shelf below — a place for a stack of split logs, a basket of kindling or the things the room likes to keep near the warmth. Both are sealed, direct-vent fires that draw their air from outside and send the exhaust back out, so nothing reaches the room but heat. Both light from a touchscreen remote, and both will light and burn through a power cut on a battery backup. Where they differ is in how much arrives with them.

The Trilliant is the top of the pair, and Majestic sends it out fully loaded. Canyon Brown interior panels give the firebox the look of old brick; accent lights bring a little theatre to the evening; and steel-tube heat exchangers with a variable-speed fan carry the warmth out into the room instead of leaving it at the glass. Black reflective glass panels are there for a darker face, and a wireless wall switch or the IntelliFire app — which answers to Alexa and to Google Assistant — can be added if you want them. It is the Majestic for the household that would rather choose a room than a list of options.

The Ruby takes the other road, which Majestic calls à la carte, and begins with the fire itself: the same 30-inch window of flame, the same IntelliFire Touch ignition and touchscreen remote, and then a choice of how to dress it. The interior panels come in Cottage Red or Tavern Brown, or in reflective black glass for a more modern face; accent lights, the wireless wall switch and the app are added only if they are wanted. Majestic does not list the fan and heat exchangers as standard on the Ruby, so we check what comes with the exact one you choose before it is ordered. You pay for what you will use, and nothing else.

Whichever you choose, the pedestal decides where it can stand, because it vents one way only: straight up. Majestic approves these freestanding fireplaces for a vertical run — up through the roof, or through an existing chimney with the right adapter — and not out through the wall behind. A plan for one therefore begins overhead: the floor above, the line of the roof and the path the pipe can take between them. The floor beneath asks for much less. There is no hearth pad to build; the manual wants a floor that is level, stable and strong enough to carry it, and allows it on carpet.

A fire that arrives whole, and sets itself down.

A freestanding fire is decided overhead before it is decided on the floor. Because it can only vent upward, the first questions are where the pipe can rise, what lies in its way, and how the roof is flashed; then where the fire should stand so it is seen from the sofa, the table and the door, how close it sits to the wall and the furniture, and where the gas arrives. That is the work Maxwell Fireplace does in-house: choosing between the Ruby and the Trilliant with you, and the panels, lights and controls that go with them; planning the vent run, the framing and the gas; pulling the permits; and installing the fireplace with our own crew. Show us the room and we will tell you where it belongs.

Questions people tend to ask

Which should I choose, the Ruby or the Trilliant?

Choose the Trilliant if you want everything at once: the Canyon Brown panels, the accent lights and the fan with its steel-tube heat exchangers all come with it. Choose the Ruby if you would rather decide the panels and the lights yourself — Cottage Red, Tavern Brown or reflective black glass — and pay only for what you add. The fire itself is the same size on both, and we will go through the two with you at the showroom.

How much heat does it give?

Majestic rates both at up to 32,700 BTU per hour on natural gas and 32,000 on propane, with an EnerGuide efficiency rating of 71 percent. The Trilliant adds a variable-speed fan over steel-tube heat exchangers (Majestic lists the blower at 160 CFM) to move that warmth into the room. Like most gas fireplaces these are approved as supplemental heat or as a decorative appliance, not as the main heating for a house, so think of one as the warm room rather than the furnace.

Does it work in a power outage?

The fire does. Both use IntelliFire Touch ignition with a battery backup, and a pack of four AA batteries will run the fire for up to 72 hours, according to Majestic’s manual. The fan and the accent lights are a separate matter, and we confirm what runs on the batteries before your order is placed.

Where can it stand, and does it need a hearth?

It needs a vertical vent: straight up through the roof, or through an existing chimney with an approved adapter. Majestic does not approve a horizontal run out through the wall. There is no hearth requirement; the manual asks for a level, stable floor that can carry the weight without tipping, allows carpet, and recommends a 12-inch hearth extension in front of it where the floor is vinyl. Clearances to the wall are modest and depend on whether it stands in an alcove or a corner, so we measure the room and draw it before anything is ordered.

Where can I see one in Vancouver?

Come to Maxwell Fireplace in North Vancouver and we will go through the Ruby and the Trilliant with you — the panels, the fronts and the controls — and talk through where in your room one could stand and where its pipe would go. We serve the North Shore, Vancouver and the Sea to Sky corridor.

Creative FireSpaces™

A fireplace is only half of it. The other half is who places it.

Maxwell Fireplace is North Vancouver’s Creative FireSpaces™ — and we stay involved in every part of the job. The fireplace itself is ours from the first conversation to the final flame: design and placement, permitting, delivery, installation, and the care that comes after. When the work runs to a surround, a mantel, tile or millwork, we plan it with the trades doing it — yours, or ones we bring in — so the fire and the wall are drawn as one thing rather than two. One point of contact, and nothing lost in the gap between trades.

It’s exactly why a fire like the Majestic Ruby or Trilliant belongs with us. A freestanding fireplace only pays off if it was placed where the room actually gathers, the vent was run the right way for the house, and the gas was brought to where it stands — and that is the difference between an appliance and a centrepiece. We serve homeowners and contractors across Greater Vancouver, the North Shore, and the Sea to Sky Corridor — Squamish to Whistler and Pemberton — and we’d love to show you what’s possible for your room.

Make it yours.
