How The Valcourt Lafayette IIS Compares To Other Wood Fireplace Options

Homeowners evaluating the Lafayette series usually face this question: should I get the standard Lafayette II with its wider glass viewing area, this Lafayette IIS with a taller firebox depth, or the larger Waterloo for more heating capacity?

Here's the honest comparison:

Why The Valcourt Lafayette IIS Is Worth The Investment

This isn't just a wood fireplace, it's the same EPA 2020 approved, customizable Lafayette platform built with a slightly deeper firebox and alternate glass proportions, giving homeowners a design option within the same trusted performance envelope.

The Lafayette IIS specifically addresses the needs of homeowners who want the Lafayette series' customization and efficiency but prefer its slightly different glass proportions and firebox depth for their specific space or aesthetic.

Same Performance, A Different Silhouette. With identical 80,000 BTU/h heat output and 8-hour burn time to the standard Lafayette II, the IIS delivers the same proven efficiency while offering a 13" firebox depth and a taller-than-wide glass proportion, giving homeowners a styling option to match different room layouts.

Engineered For Efficient, Extended Burns

The 2.5 cu. ft. firebox accepts logs up to 20" long, delivering strong heat output without frequent reloading

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

Five faceplate louver options plus black or brushed nickel door overlay choices allow the same customization as the Lafayette II

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 the Lafayette series' proven efficiency and customization with a different glass proportion and firebox depth can't get that exact fit from the standard model. The Valcourt Lafayette IIS is built with the same EPA 2020 certified performance and customizable faceplates as the Lafayette II, in a silhouette suited to different design preferences. For anyone choosing between Lafayette configurations, this is the option built to match a specific look.

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.
