Founded in 1894 by James M Triggs, Majestic Fireplaces manufactured coal and oil-fueled furnaces and boilers to meet turn-of-the-century demands. Since then, Majestic began manufacturing highly durable, efficient fireplaces, stoves and hearth accessories. The company's rich history is marked by several crowning achievements. In 1954, Majestic Fireplaces produced the first Zero Clearance, Prefabricated fireplace. Then, in 1977, Majestic Fireplaces was granted a patent for circulating warm fireplace air into a home's ductwork and venting. With strict manufacturing guidelines and standards, Majestic Fireplaces are engineered for durability, reliability and style, so homeowners know they're receiving a product designed to last for decades to come.
