Peninsula Gas Fireplace

The peninsula gas fireplace offers homeowners a dramatic design that provides not only a visually appealing fireplace, three sides open to viewing, but also an energy efficient fireplace. This fireplace is an ideal choice if you want to divide two main rooms such as the dining room and kitchen, but yet keep that open feeling. The open appearance of a gas fireplace peninsula can be achieved in part due to the design of the venting system which in many cases is either direct vent or B-vent.

Peninsula gas fireplaces offer the consumer a greater variety of installation locations than many other fireplace styles. Some variations include; installation on an outside wall, at the end of an interior wall, sitting flush on the floor or elevate it off the floor by framing a base to your desired height. Which ever location you choose there are minimum clearance requirements that should be followed: front minimum 12” to an obstruction, sides’ minimum 36” to any obstructions. Always refer to and follow manufacturers suggested guidelines.
