Freestanding and double-sided fireplaces. They are synonymous with design and warmth. In addition to being functional to combat the cold when it comes to wood-burning models, they are very decorative. They have the ability to visually separate two environments or connect themdepending on how you look at it. The fireplaces are open or between two glass panels that allow the flame to be enjoyed on each side. Do you want to see how they can become the heart of a space? Whether they are firewood, bioethanol or water vapor, they add a sophisticated note to the distribution.

In this other project by Claudina Relat we can see how the free-standing wood-burning fireplace is also embedded in a dividing element between rooms. As in the previous case, it has a space to store firewood but here vertically at one end. Ideally, this compartment should be designed in an easy-to-clean material. About the fireplace with double glazed window, the television remains and the sound bar. Please note that in This type of design installs one or more ventilation grilles to ensure safety, energy efficiency and proper functioning of the system (air circulation).

A living room with a panoramic enclosure that opens completely to integrate the space into the porch and enjoy the views and the connection between inside and outside. In this context, the room has a very comfortable design addition such as a double-sided fireplace protected by glass that allows you to enjoy the fire in winter while admiring the horizon with the sea in the background. In this case, the proposal is from Terraza Balear, from the Gunni & Trentino group, which creates a very calm atmosphere, all in neutral tones and continuous surfaces.

Double-sided fireplaces have become a popular decorating trend, especially in modern homes or open spaces. The possibilities they offer Water vapor or bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install, since they do not require a draft.. They have a tank that is filled with the fuel necessary in each case and that produces either a flame (in the case of bio alcohol) or water vapor with LEDS (which simulates the flame) for a few hours. In this open-space home, Teh Room Studio has designed a custom light furniture between living room and dining room with a bookshelf and a fireplace integrated into the low wooden bench. In this way, it turns the element into a focal point, providing elegance and sophistication. The visibility of the fire from both sides creates a feeling of continuity and connection.

Double-sided fireplaces have another advantage which is the uniform distribution of heat. Being open or visible on both sides, the heat is better distributed in both environments. For well-designed wood or gas models, he thermal performance is efficientheating more surface area without the need to duplicate chimneys. Here a central element covered in stone serves to integrate the double-sided fireplace between the living room and dining room. The Mano de Santo architecture studio designs this home with a ground floor of spaces connected to each other inside and to the environment, thanks to the panoramic views of a valley dotted with orange trees.

This type of chimney is not always integrated into an element. It is possible, as we have already seen, that the design of the fireplace itself is free in space or on a structure or pedestal as well as in a more striking position. This is the case of a type chimney cassette which rests on the audiovisual furniture that separates the living room and dining room area. Due to the dimensions and As it is an element glazed on three sides, it divides without having to “raise” a solid wall, so the feeling of spaciousness and light. Furthermore, in this house located in Baqueira, from FeelFree Rentals, the presence of the fire makes the space more cozy on a thermal and visual level.

If you opt for a double-sided wood-burning fireplace, models with double glass guarantee greater safety. The gas or bioethanol versions They are cleaner and easier to maintain, although they do not heat up the environment. In the case of wood or gas models, correct thermal insulation of the structure must be carried out to prevent overheating of nearby materials. The glass that accompanies a fireplace is tempered and heat resistant. In the case of water vapor chimneys, the surfaces must also be protected, but not from the fire but from the slight humidity generated.. Although the steam generated is minimal and disperses quickly, the furniture must be properly treated. This type of fireplace does not heat, so it can be placed under a television without problem. Project by Cream Estudio and Clysa with an open fireplace, which can be enjoyed between the living room and dining room, with decorative white edges over the burner.
