Key Innovations and Technologies
Montigo holds several proprietary technologies that differentiate its products within the hearth industry:
| Technology | Description | Available In |
|---|---|---|
| COOL-Pack | Patented cool-to-touch glass system that keeps glass as low as 115°F, eliminating the need for a safety screen. Designed for high-traffic spaces and applications where children or pets may be present. | Exemplar RP424, Prodigy (commercial) |
| TruFlame Technology | Burner and flame presentation system designed to produce the most realistic traditional flame in the Montigo lineup. | Paragon series |
