Product Features
Triple-Layer Customization: Flame, Ember, and Accent
The Format offers three independent lighting layers: 4 flame colors, 13 ember bed colors, and 13 accent light colors. This triple-layer system creates thousands of possible combinations, allowing you to tailor the fireplace's appearance to any mood, season, or room design.
ShadowGlo Alpine Timber Logs
The included one-piece ShadowGlo Alpine Timber log set features enhanced glow technology that produces realistic shadow play and ember effects. The result is a log presentation with depth and warmth that traditional LED log sets can't match.
No-Framing Wall Mount Installation
Unlike recessed fireplaces, the Format hangs directly onto finished drywall — similar to mounting a large-format television. No framing, no wall cavity, and no structural modifications are needed. Simply mount the bracket, hang the fireplace, and connect power.
Guided Setup With Bilt App
The Format features guided self-setup in the Bilt mobile app, with step-by-step 3D instructions that guide you through the entire installation process. This makes it accessible for DIY homeowners and professionals alike.
Hidden Control Buttons
On-unit controls are discreetly hidden to maintain the fireplace's clean, contemporary aesthetic. The included multi-function remote handles day-to-day operation from across the room.
