Valor is a brand of fire products that are manufactured by Miles Industries, a Canadian company founded in 1977 by Garry and Barbara Miles. Miles Industries possesses years of experience in the home heating industry. They approached Valor seeking exclusive Canadian distributorship and signed an agreement in 2001 to manufacture all Valor branded products.
The company has a rich history of innovating some of the first-ever technologies used in the home heating industry. In 1986, Valor designed and sold the first-ever direct vent room sealed fireplace. They have since grown to become a household name in the fire industry. Today, Valor produces a range of gas fireplace products including some of the best insert series in the world.
Portrait Inserts come in a variety of fireplace fronts that complement not only traditional but also contemporary room settings. You will be amazed by the diversity of features this collection has to offer.
RetroFire Insert allows you to turn the existing fireplace into an energy-efficient heat source and keep the heat inside your place instead of keeping it up the chimney.
Thanks to its easy-to-use and energy-saving features, G3 is considered one of the top-selling radiant gas inserts.
A simplified design of this Insert type includes all of the essentials, from ceramic logs and non-thermostatic remote control to radiant warmth and glowing flames. Keep in mind that the Classic Insert comes prepackaged with a clean design front.
Over 20 years of design innovation allows G3.5 Insert to be one of the most radiant, high-efficient, and on top of that, one of the most ultimate in comfort control.
G4 Insert can perfectly fit large fireplace openings yet leave presence or performance as is. This allows you to enjoy a flame area along with an appealing proportional surround.
