A three-sided fireplace shows the fire from the front and both ends, so it can sit in a room divider, a peninsula wall or an island and be seen from more of the room.
How the sides are set
- K Series: two removable side panels. Keep both for a single-sided fireplace, remove one for two sides, remove both for three
- X Series: the left and right panels come off separately, for one side or three
- F Series: made to order for one, two or three sides, or all the way round
Where three sides work
Start from where people sit. If the ends of the fireplace face a sofa, a dining table or a corridor, three sides earn their place. If the fireplace sits in a flat wall facing one way, one side is cleaner and simpler to build.
Decide before the wall is finished
Side glass shows the edges of the wall around it, so the finish has to be planned for the open ends. Fixings and finishes can make a later change hard: choose the viewing sides first, then build the opening from the installation drawing.
Sizes
The K Series comes in five widths from 40 to 79 in; the X Series is 31.5 in wide. See the opening sizes for every model.
