Napoleon vertical electric fireplaces offer a different approach to fireplace design by creating a tall, narrow focal point instead of the wide horizontal shape found on most linear models. The Napoleon Allure Vertical Series is available in 32-inch and 38-inch models, offering a tall, space-conscious design that works especially well on narrow walls or anywhere a distinctive upright fireplace can serve as a modern focal point. Both models combine customizable flames, illuminated crystal media, side accent lighting and supplemental heat in a contemporary wall-mounted design.

Find the Right Napoleon Vertical Electric Fireplace
The current Allure Vertical collection keeps the choice straightforward with two heights. Both models share the same modern vertical format, multiple flame colors, customizable ember-bed lighting, exterior accent lights, remote control and 120-volt supplemental heat. The main differences are the overall height and included media, making it important to consider both the available wall space and the desired finished appearance.
Napoleon Allure Vertical 32-Inch Electric Fireplace
The Napoleon Allure Vertical 32-Inch Electric Fireplace is the more compact choice. Its tall, narrow proportions work especially well on smaller wall sections, between architectural features or in rooms where a conventional wide fireplace would require too much horizontal space. The 32-inch model includes a crystal ember bed that complements its clean contemporary design.
Napoleon Allure Vertical 38-Inch Electric Fireplace
The Napoleon Allure Vertical 38-Inch Electric Fireplace provides a taller flame presentation and greater visual presence while maintaining the same narrow vertical concept. In addition to crystal media, the 38-inch model includes a Birch log set, giving customers the option of adding a more natural fireplace element to the contemporary design.
Customers who want to view the two models together can also browse the Napoleon Allure Series electric fireplaces. When choosing between the 32-inch and 38-inch versions, consider the height of the available wall area, surrounding furniture or cabinetry and whether the additional Birch log media included with the larger model is important to the finished look.
Wall-Mounted or Partially Recessed Installation
The Allure Vertical electric fireplace is designed for flexible installation without requiring a chimney or combustion venting. It can be hung directly on the wall using the included mounting bracket for a relatively simple installation, or it can be partially recessed into the wall for a more integrated appearance.
This installation flexibility is particularly useful for remodeling projects and finished rooms where constructing a deep fireplace enclosure is not desirable. The upright shape also provides another option for areas that may not accommodate one of Napoleon's wider linear electric fireplaces.
Customizable Flames, Ember Bed and Side Accent Lighting
Visual customization is one of the defining features of the Allure Vertical Series. Flame colors include orange, yellow, blue and combined multicolor effects, while the crystal ember bed can be illuminated in multiple colors. Flame speed and brightness can also be adjusted to change the intensity of the display.
The vertical design adds another visual feature that is less common on traditional electric fireplaces: illuminated side accent panels. These exterior lights can be changed through several colors to coordinate with the room, highlight the fireplace after dark or create a more dramatic contemporary focal point.
Fireplace functions can be adjusted from the easy-access control panel or the included full-feature remote. The remote provides convenient control over functions including the fireplace power, thermostat, flames, ember bed and side accent lighting.
Supplemental Heat and Year-Round Ambiance
Both Allure Vertical models operate on 120-volt power and provide up to 5,000 BTUs and 1,500 watts of supplemental heat. They are designed for straightforward plug-in operation, helping simplify installation when an appropriate electrical outlet is available.
The flame and lighting effects can also be enjoyed with or without heat. This allows the fireplace to remain a decorative part of the room throughout the year rather than limiting its use to colder months.
Vertical vs. Linear Electric Fireplaces
The biggest difference between a vertical and linear electric fireplace is proportion. A conventional linear fireplace stretches horizontally across a wall, making it a natural choice below televisions and across wide feature walls. An Allure Vertical fireplace uses height instead of width, making it better suited to narrow wall sections, smaller spaces and rooms where an upright architectural accent works better with the layout.
Neither format is inherently better; the right choice depends on the room. Choose Allure Vertical when conserving horizontal wall space and creating a tall focal point are priorities. Choose a linear model when the project calls for a broad flame display or a fireplace that visually anchors a large media or feature wall.

Benefits of Napoleon Allure Vertical Electric Fireplaces
The Allure Vertical Series provides a useful combination of compact wall placement, flexible installation, customizable lighting and supplemental heat. Its unusual proportions can turn an otherwise difficult wall section into a fireplace feature without requiring the space of a traditional horizontal model. Wall-mounted or partially recessed installation, plug-in 120-volt operation and independent flame effects also make it adaptable to a wide range of indoor projects.

Napoleon Vertical Electric Fireplaces FAQs
What is the difference between the Napoleon Allure Vertical 32-inch and 38-inch fireplaces?
The main differences are height and included media. The 32-inch Allure Vertical is the more compact option and includes crystal media, while the 38-inch model provides a taller fireplace presentation and includes both crystal media and a Birch log set. Both models offer customizable flames, ember-bed lighting, side accent lights, remote operation and supplemental heat. Choose the size that best fits the available wall height and desired visual presence.
Can a Napoleon Allure Vertical electric fireplace be recessed into the wall?
Yes. The Napoleon Allure Vertical can be wall mounted using the included bracket or partially recessed for a more integrated appearance. It is not designed as the same type of fully recessed built-in firebox used by some other Napoleon series. Always review the current dimensions, framing requirements and installation manual for the selected model before modifying the wall.
Should I choose a Napoleon vertical fireplace or a linear electric fireplace?
Choose a vertical electric fireplace when available wall width is limited or when a tall architectural focal point better suits the room. A linear electric fireplace is generally better suited to wide feature walls, entertainment areas and installations where a horizontal flame presentation is preferred. Customers considering both styles can compare our Napoleon linear electric fireplaces before deciding.
How much heat does a Napoleon Allure Vertical electric fireplace provide?
Both the 32-inch and 38-inch Allure Vertical models provide up to 5,000 BTUs and 1,500 watts of supplemental heat using a 120-volt electrical connection. The fireplace can simply plug into an appropriate outlet, and the flame and lighting effects can also operate without heat for year-round use. Review the owner's and installation manual for complete electrical and placement requirements.
