Valcourt FP11D Frontenac Wood Fireplace

FP11D Overview

The Valcourt FP11D Frontenac is the largest decorative fireplace in the Valcourt lineup, named after the iconic Quebec City hotel. The Frontenac centers around a 972 sq. in. ceramic glass surface, exceptional even by flagship-decorative standards, and a patented guillotine glass door that slides under the hearth, paired with an integrated guillotine firescreen. This format gives the Frontenac the visual scale of a traditional masonry opening while still qualifying for Phase II of the EPA Voluntary Emissions Program for decorative wood fireplaces, producing roughly 70 percent fewer particulates than uncertified decorative units.

Compared to the smaller Antoinette, the Frontenac steps up to a 9.4 cu. ft. firebox, 30-inch log capacity, and a 920 lb shipping weight, closer in scale to the FP16D St-Laurent linear, but with the traditional guillotine front. Three brick panel styles are offered (classic, contemporary, herringbone vermiculite), four trim options are available (arched or straight, masonry or narrow overlap), and the unit ships as a base requiring both groups to be specified at order. Fireplace Insider ships the FP11D nationwide; professional installation by a certified hearth installer is required.

Specifications

Warranty

Valcourt fireplaces are backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty issued by Stove Builder International (SBI), the manufacturer of the Valcourt brand. The warranty is provided to the original retail purchaser at the original installation address and is non-transferable. Coverage begins on the date of purchase indicated on the invoice; if the invoice cannot be provided, the warranty period is determined by the date of manufacture stamped on the appliance. The original invoice must be retained as proof of purchase to claim warranty service.

Coverage applies to the firebox structure, body, and combustion components. Glass breakage from thermal stress is not covered, and the warranty excludes damage caused by improper installation, overfiring, use of fuel other than dry cordwood, normal wear of paint and refractory bricks, modifications to the appliance, and damage from chimney fires. Specific component warranty periods and exclusions are detailed in full in the owner's manual; review it before registering your warranty at valcourtinc.com. Optional electrical components such as blowers carry a shorter coverage period, typically two years on parts.
