Double Sided Gas Fireplaces – What You Need To Know

When it comes to fireplace design, a double-sided gas fireplace is one of the most luxurious fireplace options on the market. Discover seamless design with a double-sided fireplace elegantly partitioning your living space.

Benefits of a double-sided gas fireplace

People are making the switch from wood burning fireplaces to gas fireplaces for a number of reasons.

There are many benefits of a double-sided gas fireplace:

  • Modern and simplistic in design.
  • Heat economy – As they are usually positioned in between two rooms or spaces, they can heat two rooms simultaneously
  • Energy efficiency – Heat medium to large-sized rooms efficiently due to central positioning.
  • They can add value to your property.

Considerations before buying a double-sided fireplace

There are a few things to consider before buying a double-sided fireplace. While there might be a particular fireplace that you like, factors like room dimensions and heat output can actually affect what fireplace best suits your home.

Before purchasing, consider the following:
 

  • The level of heat output you are requiring.
  • Your room dimensions – will it fit a dual-sided fireplace?
  • The positioning of the fireplace in the room. A double-sided gas fireplace will stand in the middle of the room, alternatively, a single-sided gas fireplace can be built into a wall.
  • Whether you are looking to install a vented fireplace. We can help you determine the optimal position for gas piping and maximum heat output.
  • Whether you want to mount an entertainment system, such as a television, above the fireplace.
  • Your budget for the fireplace.
