Frequently Asked Questions

  • A see-through fireplace, also known as a double-sided or two-sided fireplace, is designed to provide a view of the fire from two opposite sides. It is typically installed between two rooms to enhance aesthetic appeal and provide heat to both spaces simultaneously. Unlike a standard single-faced fireplace, it acts as a stylish room divider while maintaining an open, airy visual connection between spaces.

  • See-through fireplaces can be fueled by gas, electricity, ethanol, or even water vapor, depending on your design and installation preferences. Gas and ethanol models offer real flames for a traditional ambiance, while electric and water vapor versions provide a modern, maintenance-free alternative with realistic flame effects. Wood-burning see-through fireplaces also exist for those who value a more traditional experience.

  • When properly sized, a see-through gas fireplace can effectively heat one or two adjacent spaces, with gas models typically offering between 25,000 and 40,000+ BTUs of output. Electric models, on the other hand, provide mainly ambiance with only moderate supplemental heat. For serious heating needs, a gas unit is the recommended choice, and professional guidance on sizing is advised.

  • Costs vary widely depending on fuel type, size, and customization — ranging from around $1,000 for a basic electric unit to over $20,000 for a luxury custom-built linear or indoor/outdoor see-through fireplace. Gas see-through fireplaces from custom manufacturers can start around $5,700, with pricing increasing based on dimensions, chosen media, and finishing options. Professional installation, permits, and any required structural modifications will add to the total cost.

  • Gas see-through fireplaces require proper framing, venting, and clearances, which means a licensed professional installer is strongly recommended. Direct-vent gas models need a coaxial vent pipe and typically require 18–24 inches of framing depth, while electric units need no venting at all and can often be installed in almost any room. Most installations also require permits to comply with local building codes and safety standards.
