Contemporary Space Dividers

By breaking up solid walls, these double-sided fireplaces provide interest and depth. Additionally, this allows homeowners to maintain a separation between rooms while doing away with the sense of monotony common in a large, continuous surface.

A clever way to create a partition without having to cut the room in 2 isolated spaces is by adding a tunnel unit in either a column or partial wall. The glass on either side provides a full view of the other side, while the beautiful fire display catches people’s attention, providing a stunningly dynamic focal point.

But wait!

These contemporary tunnel designer fireplaces do not just double as room dividers. They can also create a continuous flow from the exterior and interior of the home. These units bridge the gap allowing for a sense of indoor comfort in your once-ordinary patio while also bringing a sense of outdoor ambience to the interior.
