Collection: See-Through Electric Fireplaces

Create a Stunning Ambiance in Your Home With a See-Through Electric Fireplace!

A see-through fireplace features glass on two sides so you can enjoy the flames from more than one room or from multiple angles within the same space. While a traditional fireplace sits flush against a single wall, these units can serve as architectural dividers, connecting a living room and dining area, or bringing warmth to both a bedroom and an en-suite bath.

You get all of the visual impact without venting, fuel storage, or complex maintenance. They plug into standard power, put out adjustable LED flames, and can operate with or without heat for year-round ambiance.

Frequently asked questions

What are see-through fireplaces called?

We see the term “multi-sided electric fireplace” used interchangeably with see-through electric fireplaces. Some people call them double-sided fireplaces. These all share the same design philosophy: glass panels on two sides so you can view the flame from multiple zones at once.

What are the downsides of electric fireplaces?

Electric fireplaces don’t create real combustion flames. Even though they look beautiful, they lack the crackling sound and scent of wood or gas. They also typically provide supplemental rather than whole-home heat. They’re more about ambiance than performance. We do have a great selection of gas fireplaces, though, if you want to weigh your options!

Can you see through a double-sided fireplace?

Yes, that’s the whole point of a see-through electric fireplace! You get visibility straight through the unit. This type of built-in electric fireplace is ideal as a divider between spaces, and it still functions as a single fireplace.

Do electric fireplaces actually put off heat?

They do. Most electric fireplaces include built-in heating elements, often rated between 4,000-5,000 BTUs. That’s usually enough to comfortably warm a small to medium-sized room. The flame effect can also be operated without heat, so you can enjoy the look any time of year.
