Brevard is exactly where Mendota tends to land — the timber-frame and mountain-modern homes around here, and up toward Cashiers and Lake Toxaway, are its natural habitat. We carry the line at our Asheville showroom, 629 Emma Rd, 40 minutes southwest, and install it across Transylvania County as your licensed gas contractor. It's dealer-only, so come see the FullView lit. Call (828) 545-0525.
The propane setup Brevard homes usually need
Much of Brevard runs on propane rather than a gas main, and the FullView FV41 we show is a 40,000-BTU LP unit — a straight fit for propane country. Because propane burns hotter and at different pressure than natural gas, we set the orifice and regulator correctly so the flame stays clean and the hand-cast ceramic-fiber logs read the way Mendota intended, not sooted over by a bad setup. The tank we coordinate with your supplier; the appliance and line are ours.
Transylvania rain is hard on chimneys — plan around it
Brevard catches 80-plus inches of rain a year, and that water cracks crowns, spalls brick, and rusts dampers — so leaning a luxury fireplace on a tired masonry chimney is a gamble. A direct-vent Mendota vents out a sidewall and skips the chimney problem altogether. Either way, we pull the Transylvania County permit and pressure-test the gas line, because in NC that connection is licensed work a showroom legally can't do.
Why you see it before you buy
Mendota stays dealer-only because its whole appeal is the realism of the fire, and no screen sells that. It's a 40-minute drive to 629 Emma Rd to watch a FullView burn; then we quote and install — there's no ordering a fireplace like this online. Call (828) 545-0525 for a free in-home assessment in Brevard or out toward Connestee Falls and Sherwood Forest.
