Napoleon CLEARion Elite electric fireplaces are designed to create a true see-through fireplace between two adjoining spaces. Built directly into a dividing or feature wall, the CLEARion Elite allows the flames and media to be enjoyed from both sides while adding independent supplemental heat to each room. Available in 50-inch and 60-inch sizes, the series combines adjustable privacy glass, dual-zone heating, customizable flames and ember-bed lighting in a distinctive built-in design.

Choose the Right Napoleon CLEARion Elite Electric Fireplace
The CLEARion Elite Series keeps the selection straightforward with two sizes. Both the 50-inch and 60-inch models provide the same core see-through design, adjustable privacy glass, independent heating controls and customizable media. The main difference is scale: the 50-inch model fits more compact dividing walls and room layouts, while the 60-inch version creates a wider flame presentation for larger spaces and architectural feature walls.
Napoleon CLEARion Elite 50-Inch Electric Fireplace
The Napoleon CLEARion Elite 50-inch is the more compact option and is well suited to projects where two rooms share a dividing wall but available width is limited. Its see-through firebox creates a visual connection between the spaces without requiring two separate fireplaces. The narrower format also works well for dining and living areas, bedroom and bathroom layouts, offices, and other adjoining rooms where a 60-inch fireplace may be too large for the wall.
Napoleon CLEARion Elite 60-Inch Electric Fireplace
The Napoleon CLEARion Elite 60-inch provides a wider viewing area and greater visual presence while retaining the same two-room functionality. It is especially effective in larger open layouts, broad feature walls and room-divider installations where the fireplace is intended to become a significant architectural focal point. Always compare the actual fireplace and minimum framing dimensions for the selected model rather than relying only on the nominal 50-inch or 60-inch size.
A True See-Through Electric Fireplace
What makes CLEARion Elite different from most multi-sided electric fireplaces is the way it is viewed. Instead of showing the fire from the front and sides of the same room, CLEARion Elite is installed between two spaces so the fireplace can be viewed from opposite sides. This makes it particularly useful for adjoining living and dining areas, bedrooms and bathrooms, open-concept spaces, or any design where a fireplace is intended to visually connect two rooms.

Adjustable Privacy Glass
One of the most distinctive features of the Napoleon CLEARion Elite is its adjustable privacy glass. The glass can transition between fully transparent, semi-transparent and fully opaque settings. In transparent mode, the fireplace creates an open visual connection between the two rooms. Semi-transparent mode softens the view, while opaque mode provides privacy when seeing through to the adjoining space is not desirable.
This feature allows the same fireplace to function as both an open architectural element and a privacy divider depending on how the rooms are being used. The glass setting can be adjusted along with other fireplace functions using the included controls.
Independent Heating for Two Rooms
CLEARion Elite includes independent heaters for each side of the fireplace. This allows both adjoining rooms to receive heat at the same time or one room to be heated independently of the other. Two included remotes provide separate control, making the fireplace more practical for spaces that may have different comfort needs throughout the day.
The series supports 120-volt and 240-volt operation and can provide up to 10,000 BTUs and 3,000 watts of supplemental heat when properly configured for 240 volts. Electrical and hardwiring requirements should always be confirmed in the current installation manual before construction or electrical work begins.
Customize the Flames and Media
The CLEARion Elite can be styled with either clear crystal media or a log set with Topaz glass embers, with both media options included. Crystal media creates a clean contemporary appearance, while the logs and Topaz glass provide more natural fireplace character. Because the fireplace is visible from two rooms, the media selection becomes an important part of the finished design from both sides.
Flame options include orange, blue and combined colors, while the ember bed offers numerous color settings and an automatic cycle mode. Optional black and stainless steel surrounds provide additional ways to coordinate the finished fireplace with surrounding wall materials and room décor.
CLEARion Elite vs. Trivista Primis
CLEARion Elite and the Napoleon Trivista Primis are both built-in electric fireplaces available in 50-inch and 60-inch sizes, but they solve different design needs. CLEARion Elite is a true see-through fireplace intended to be viewed from opposite sides of a dividing wall. Trivista Primis is a multi-sided fireplace that can be configured for one-sided, two-sided corner or three-sided viewing within a room or feature-wall installation.
Both can provide up to 10,000 BTUs on a compatible 240-volt installation, but their standout features are different. CLEARion Elite offers adjustable privacy glass and independent heating for the two adjoining rooms, while Trivista Primis emphasizes configurable side viewing, top lighting and a taller front viewing area. The room layout should therefore be the first consideration: choose CLEARion Elite when the fireplace needs to connect two separate spaces, and consider Trivista Primis when side views within the same general space are more important.
Benefits of Napoleon CLEARion Elite Electric Fireplaces
A see-through electric fireplace can create the visual impact of a shared fireplace without requiring a chimney or combustion venting. CLEARion Elite goes further by combining the two-room view with adjustable privacy, independent heating controls, multiple flame colors and interchangeable media options.
The result is a fireplace that can serve several purposes at once: a focal point for two rooms, a supplemental heat source, a visual room connector and, when needed, a privacy divider.

Napoleon CLEARion Elite Electric Fireplaces FAQs
What is the difference between the 50-inch and 60-inch Napoleon CLEARion Elite?
The main difference is overall size and viewing area. Both CLEARion Elite models provide the same true see-through design, adjustable privacy glass, independent dual-zone heating, multiple flame and ember-bed colors, and included crystal and log media. The 50-inch model is better suited to more compact dividing walls, while the 60-inch version provides a wider fireplace presentation for larger rooms. Always compare the actual overall and minimum framing dimensions before ordering.
What is the difference between CLEARion Elite and Trivista Primis?
CLEARion Elite is a true see-through fireplace, while Trivista Primis is a configurable multi-sided fireplace. CLEARion Elite is designed for installation between two adjoining rooms so the flames can be viewed from opposite sides of a dividing wall. Trivista Primis can instead be configured for one-sided, two-sided corner or three-sided viewing. Customers who need side views within one general space can compare the Napoleon Trivista Series, while CLEARion Elite is better suited to projects intended to visually connect two separate rooms.
Can the Napoleon CLEARion Elite be made private between two rooms?
Yes. The CLEARion Elite privacy glass can be changed between fully transparent, semi-transparent and fully opaque settings. Transparent mode allows a clear view through the fireplace into the adjoining room, while the semi-transparent and opaque settings provide progressively more privacy. This makes CLEARion Elite especially useful between spaces where an open view is desirable at some times but privacy is needed at others.
Can the CLEARion Elite heat both rooms independently?
Yes. CLEARion Elite uses independent heaters for each side, allowing both rooms to be heated together or one side to operate separately. Two remotes are included for independent control. The fireplace supports 120-volt and 240-volt operation and can provide up to 10,000 BTUs when properly configured for 240 volts. Review the current specifications and installation manual for wiring, framing and electrical requirements before installation.
