Heath E. Combs -- Furniture Today, May 4, 2009

DELRAY BEACH, Fla. — Twin-Star International, the makers of Classic Flame electric fireplaces and Tresanti entertainment consoles, has entered a licensing agreement with fire log and charcoal specialty products maker Duraflame.

Several of the new fireplaces were on display at last week's High Point Market. The agreement also includes forced propane garage heaters.

Company officials said the compact heaters hit a lower price range and can be sold as "cash and carry" items. The products are about 19 to about 23 inches tall.

The fireplaces can be plugged into a standard electrical outlet, are vent free and can operate with and without heat. They also include a thermostatic dial, flame effects, glowing log and ember bed and give supplemental heat for up to 400 square feet.
