Renaissance Rumford 1500

A premium open wood fireplace built for large spaces and bold designs – the Renaissance Rumford 1500 is designed for homeowners who want the look, sound, and feel of a true open wood-burning fireplace on a much larger scale. With a viewing area about 50% larger than the Rumford 1000, this is the biggest fireplace in the Renaissance lineup and a serious focal-point unit for custom homes and great rooms.
Built to deliver a bigger and better open-fire experience – the Rumford 1500 uses Renaissance’s patented Rumford design with a tall opening, shallow firebox, and engineered throat to create strong draft, easier lighting, and a cleaner burn than many traditional open fireplaces. It is built to give you that dramatic open-hearth feel without the usual old-masonry headaches.
A major advantage over traditional masonry fireplaces – the Rumford 1500 combines the charm of a classic open fireplace with a factory-built zero-clearance design that is far more practical for modern construction. Renaissance also positions it as an EPA-qualified clean-burning fireplace, with very low emissions for an open wood-burning unit.

The Renaissance Rumford 1500 is built for homeowners who want a fireplace to make a real statement. This is a true feature fireplace — a large-scale open wood-burning unit designed to fill a room with the look, sound, and atmosphere only a real wood fire can provide. For great rooms, custom homes, and larger living spaces where the fireplace is meant to anchor the design, this one lands in a league of its own.

What makes the Rumford 1500 stand out is its combination of size and performance. Renaissance took the classic Rumford fireplace concept and re-engineered it with modern materials and precision manufacturing, creating a fireplace that offers a massive fire view while still maintaining the strong draft and clean-burning characteristics the brand is known for. Bigger is not always better — but in this case, it kind of is.

Another major advantage is the balance of old-world experience and modern practicality. The Rumford 1500 gives you the visual impact of a grand open fireplace, but in a factory-built system designed for today’s homes and certified for use with Renaissance RIS chimney systems. For buyers who want the romance of a true open fire without committing to a full masonry build, this unit hits a very rare sweet spot.
