Choose gas, electric or wood

For a linear gas fireplace, compare gas fireplace options in natural gas or propane. Direct vent units have sealed glass and a pipe outside, without using room air. Vent-free units need no pipe and keep nearly all the heat indoors; check local rules first. A linear electric fireplace is 4 to 6 inches deep, plugs in or is hardwired, and runs flames without heat. Choose a wood burning fireplace for real logs.

Size and style for your linear fireplace

Gas widths run from 30 to 84 inches; electric widths reach from 26 to 100 inches. Glass heights range from about 12 to 27 inches. Most gas units need a framed wall 13 to 16 inches deep. For a contemporary look, compare crushed glass, hand painted logs and an ember bed lit by LED lights, depending on the unit.

Indoor, outdoor and two-room options

Compare indoor units with stainless steel outdoor gas fireplaces for a patio wall without a vent. See-through fireplaces share a fire between two rooms; some connect the living room and patio.

Frequently asked questions

What is a linear fireplace?

It has a low, wide opening like a letterbox, with a long band of flame over glass or logs. Gas, electric and wood options are available. Most fit into a framed wall finished with tile, stone or drywall.

How far off the floor should a linear fireplace be?

No gas or electric unit here needs a raised hearth, so you choose the height. Many people prefer seated eye level. Follow the manual’s clearances for a TV or shelf above the glass. We can check your linear fireplace manual with you.

Can a linear gas fireplace go on any wall?

Not automatically. Direct vent needs a sealed pipe outside; an interior wall works if it reaches the roof. Vent-free needs no pipe and can fit a half wall where local rules allow. An electric unit needs an outlet and, when recessed, 4 to 6 inches of wall depth.
