Who It's For
In a great room or a space with tall ceilings, a standard fireplace can look undersized, and the fire gets lost on the wall. You need a fireplace with the presence to anchor a large room. The Renaissance Rumford 1500 is the larger of the two Rumford models, for the homeowner who wants a classic opening and a real wood fire at a bigger scale. Choose the smaller Rumford in a big room and it reads as an accent; choose this one and it reads as the centerpiece.
What Makes It Special
It is the largest of Renaissance’s patented Rumford designs, with a firebox big enough to fill the room with light and heat and logs up to 22 inches.
You choose the lining: refractory brick in a running bond, built to last a lifetime, or high-performance vermiculite panels in a herringbone pattern, where cracks and wear over time are normal.
The glass door and screen lift up into the facing and out of sight; with the door closed, no heat is lost up the chimney. Renaissance lists the Rumford 1500 as qualified under the federal Burn Wise voluntary fireplace program.
Possible Downsides
- The firebox lining is sold separately. One brick or vermiculite lining is required.
- It is a wood fire. Plan on carrying wood and clearing ash.
If your room calls for a big, traditional wood fire, the Renaissance Rumford 1500 is the right decision. The great room finally has a fireplace that matches the size of the space.
Choose a brick or vermiculite lining, plus a rooftop radiation shield and an optional outside air kit.

The Renaissance Story
Renaissance Fireplaces is the wood fireplace line of Industrial Chimney Company (ICC), of Saint-Jérôme, Quebec. ICC has made chimneys since 1991, and in 2008 it launched Renaissance with the Rumford 1000, a built-in take on the tall, shallow fireplace Count Rumford designed in the 1790s. Every Renaissance burns wood behind a glass door and a screen that slide up out of sight, and three of today's four models qualified at the cleaner Phase 2 level of EPA's voluntary fireplace program. ICC also makes RSF fireplaces.
