Advantages of a double-sided fireplace:
- A key advantage is the ability to spread heat into two rooms instead of just one.
- It is safer than many other types of fireplaces because of the glass that is surrounding the flame. This is perfect if you have small children.
- Also don’t forget that many real estate experts agree that homes which have fireplaces are more attractive to buyers than those heated by traditional methods. And a double-sided fireplace makes any home look more comfortable, cozy and attractive.
Disadvantages of a double-sided fireplace:
- Maybe you will find this contradictory but, a key disadvantage of a double-sided fireplace is the fact that it does not emit enough heat to be used as a main heat source in large rooms and this means that it has primarily decorative and aesthetic function.
- Many people have concerns of harmful gases but modern double-sided fireplace designs with two doors successfully solve this problem.
