The Kozy Heat Bellingham 52 solves one of the toughest problems in modern living room design: getting a traditional fireplace aesthetic AND a TV mounted above. Traditional fireplaces are tall and square — too tall to look right with a TV above. Contemporary linear fireplaces work great with TVs above, but they look modern. The Bellingham 52's landscape design format bridges this gap with a wide, lower-profile traditional fireplace that proportions correctly with a wall-mounted television above. With a massive 52-7/16 inch wide × 30-7/8 inch tall viewing area — the largest single-sided viewing area in the entire Kozy Heat lineup — a modulating burner from 18,500 to 59,500 BTU/hr, and exclusive Bellingham-only features like standard Top Accent and Ember Bed Light Kits, the Bellingham 52 is in a category of its own.

A New Category: Landscape Design

The Bellingham 52 isn't a Nordik. It isn't a Callaway. It's a third category — landscape design. The Nordik DV traditional fireplaces are square and tall — beautiful classic proportions but too tall for a TV to mount above without ceiling-level placement. The Callaway linear fireplaces are long and skinny — they work with a TV above, but they read distinctly contemporary. The Bellingham 52 is what you specify when you want the traditional fireplace appearance (logs, brick or stone interior, substantial proportions) AND you need the lower profile that makes TV-above-fireplace work visually.

If you've been comparing tall traditional fireplaces to long-and-skinny linear ones and not loving either option, the Bellingham 52 is the answer you didn't know existed.

Three things define the landscape design category:

Wider than it is tall — the Bellingham 52's 52-7/16" W × 30-7/8" H viewing area gives a horizontal emphasis that pairs naturally with a horizontally-oriented TV above
Traditional fireplace aesthetic — logs (or birch log option), refractory brick interior (Chicago, Ledgestone, Herringbone, or Black Glass), and proportions that read as "fireplace" rather than "modern slot of fire"
Lower overall height — at 41-1/4" tall, the unit fits in standard wall height with room above for both the mantel zone and a TV mount

Heat Distribution Options

The Bellingham 52 supports the same heat distribution flexibility as Kozy Heat's premium architectural fireplaces:

Komfort Zone Kit — natural convection duct system that redirects warm air rising from the firebox to higher up the wall, out the sidewalls, or to an adjacent room. Enables safe TV mounting above and lower mantel clearances.
Vented Cavity — alternative TV-mounting solution using different ducting routes
Interior Heat Transfer Kit — redirects heat from the main firebox to an adjacent interior room. Particularly useful in open-concept main floors where the fireplace location and the room that needs heat aren't the same.
Exterior Heat Transfer Kit — alternative ducting for installations requiring different heat distribution paths
Horizontal Power Vent — alternative venting that uses an electric fan to assist termination, enabling longer or more flexible vent paths than passive direct venting allows

These accessories are particularly important for the Bellingham 52 because of the efficiency trade-off — the lower steady state efficiency means more heat radiates from the front of the firebox, and the heat distribution options give you more ways to actually capture and use that heat.
