This two-sided gas fireplace can provide heat and a view to two rooms at once. It's like having two fireplaces for the price of one. Design-wise it has the effect of opening up a room to more visual space - giving the impression of a bigger room. The fireplace can be installed at any level but for the maximum advantage of this type of design, the nearer to eye level, the better. Many different surround treatments are available to brng life to an otherwise ho-hum room divider.
