While there are unlimited designs that are available for a gas fireplace, they can all fit into one of three categories. Learning more about these individual types can help you determine which one will suit your sense of style and fit into your home. This overview looks at those three styles more closely to help you choose between them.

What Are the Three Types of Gas Fireplaces?

1. Multi-Sided

These units have three sides that allow for maximum efficiency in heating your living space. The fireplace installation can be customized to fit a wall of any dimension, allowing you to heat a larger room as effectively as you would heat a cozier environment. They can be set within a single wall, much like a traditional single-sided unit, or they can be installed in a wall divides two rooms.

2. Single-Sided

A single-sided gas fireplace can be built into your home to look more homogeneous, yet it provides the modern benefits of a gas-burning heat source. This means more heat will be directed out into your living space, and you won’t necessarily have to connect it to a chimney when you choose a ventless unit. Single-sided units come in a variety of styles, from a more traditional look to several contemporary models.

3. See-Through

A see-through fireplace is ideal as an island unit that sits in the center of a room or in the wall between two rooms. It provides heat from all sides or two sides, respectively, while also providing visibility. The unit heats the living space equally while its exterior remains cool. Since these models can stand independently, they come in a broad range of designs that can complement any room.
