One of the main benefits of a double-sided stove or fire is that it will heat two rooms at once. If a home has an open-plan feel, with walls to separate areas like a minimalist home, a double-sided fire helps to warm multiple living spaces. You also only need one flue to fit the fire.
An artistic feature to interconnect two rooms
If you are looking for a way to join two spaces, a double-sided stove or fire can create both a central focal point and a connecting feature. If you don’t have an open-plan layout, you can achieve a similar look by creating an opening in the wall between two rooms.
A double-sided stove or fire allows you to enjoy the flame visuals from either side, making a stunning statement to two interior spaces. They can only be installed where there is a central chimney between two adjoining rooms, but if there isn’t a chimney, you may be able to have a pre-fabricated system fitted which works in the same way an ordinary chimney would and could allow you more flexibility regarding placement of the stove.
You can find double-sided stoves and fires in both wood-burning and gas fuel types.
Wood-burning
Enjoy twice the comfort and twice the view of your fire with double-sided wood-burning and multi-fuel stoves. Using one central chimney, the doors to both the back and the front of the stove are designed to open into adjacent rooms.
Gas
A double-sided gas fire is a much-desired solution in having the best of both worlds. A gas fire can be styled completely independently on either side to maximise the potential of your own decorative tastes.
