Valcourt Lafayette II - Wood Fireplace FP10R

Like the great French general, the Valcourt team has been able to use its tactical skills to upgrade this non-catalytic unit, so that it perfectly combines the new heating technology with all its elegance.

Customize your fireplace: five faceplate louvers as well as black or brushed nickel door overlays are available to enhance your decor. In addition to offering a distinctive look, the appliance follows the most restrictive EPA regulations, making it the fireplace of choice for those who want to use wood as a renewable and clean source of heat.

How The Valcourt Lafayette II Compares To Other Wood Fireplace Options

Homeowners evaluating wood-burning fireplaces usually face this question: should I get a standard EPA-certified insert, this customizable Lafayette II, or the larger Waterloo for maximum heating capacity?

Here's the honest comparison:

Why The Valcourt Lafayette II Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just a wood fireplace, it's an EPA 2020 approved unit built with real customization options, letting homeowners match the faceplate and door finish to their interior instead of settling for a single fixed look.

The Lafayette II specifically addresses the needs of homeowners who want genuine design flexibility alongside clean-burning, high-efficiency wood heat for mid-size living spaces.

Real Customization, Real Efficiency. Five faceplate louver options plus black or brushed nickel door overlay choices let the Lafayette II match a range of interior styles, while still meeting the most restrictive EPA regulations for a clean, renewable heat source, a combination that off-the-shelf inserts rarely offer together.

Engineered For Efficient, Extended Burns

The 2.5 cu. ft. firebox accepts logs up to 20" long, delivering up to 80,000 BTU/h of heat output and an 8-hour maximum burn time on a single load

A stainless-steel secondary-air system improves gas combustion for cleaner, more complete burns

Average particulate emissions of 1.2 g/h reflect the efficiency built into the combustion design

Built For Comfort And Style

A premium 176 CFM blower is included standard, actively circulating heat throughout the room

The glass air-wash system keeps the ceramic glass door clear for an unobstructed view of the flames

Moulded refractory bricks line the firebox for durability under sustained high heat

Real Savings

An 8-hour burn time and 80,000 BTU/h output reduce the frequency of reloading compared to standard inserts, saving wood per degree of heat delivered

EPA 2020 certification confirms the combustion efficiency that keeps more heat in the home and less going up the chimney

A limited lifetime warranty protects the investment far longer than the standard warranties typical on most inserts

Free shipping and no sales tax through Summit Forge Supply keeps the total cost down compared to buying elsewhere and paying tax and freight separately

The Bottom Line Homeowners who want a wood fireplace that matches their interior design while still delivering serious, EPA-certified heating performance can't get that combination from a standard insert. The Valcourt Lafayette II is built with customizable faceplates and door overlays, an included premium blower, and EPA 2020 certified efficiency, so it delivers both style and substance. For anyone who wants a wood fireplace tailored to their space, this is the unit built to fit.

Appliance performance ⁽¹⁾

⁽¹⁾ Values are as measured per test method, except for the recommended heating area, firebox volume, maximum burn time and maximum heat output.

⁽⁾ Recommended heating area and maximum burn time may vary subject to location in home, chimney draft,heat loss factors, climate, fuel type and other variables. The recommended heated area for a given appliance is defined by the manufacturer as its capacity to maintain a minimum acceptable temperature in the designated area in case of a power failure.

⁽²⁾ The maximum heat output (dry cordwood) is based on a loading density varying between 15 lb/ft³ and 20 lb/ft³ and reloading intervals ranging from 60 to 120 minutes. Other performances are based on a fuel load prescribed by the standard without any reloading between start and finish. The specified loading density varies between 7 lb/ft³ and 12 lb/ft³. The moisture content is between 19% and 25%.

⁽³⁾ As measured per CSA B415.1-10 stack loss method.

⁽⁴⁾ Higher Heating Value of the fuel.

⁽⁵⁾ Lower Heating Value of the fuel.

⁽⁶⁾ Performances based on a fuel load prescribed by the standard at 7 lb/ft³ and with a moisture content between 19% and 25%.

⁽⁷⁾ Optimum overall efficiency at a specific burn rate (LHV).

⁽⁸⁾ The optimum heat transfer efficiency is for the low burn rate (using HHV) and represents the appliance’s ability to convert the energy contained in the wood logs into energy transferred to the room in the form of heat and does not take into account the chemical losses during combustion.

⁽⁹⁾ This appliance is officially tested and certified by an independent agency.

⁽¹⁰⁾ Carbon monoxyde.
