Majestic Pier: a gas fireplace with a view from three sides
The Majestic Pier is a three sided direct vent gas fireplace for the end of a half wall. It comes 36 inches wide, with a 33 inch viewing window. Glass on three sides keeps the flames in view as you move around the room. Only the back meets the wall. It can separate living and dining areas without closing off the space.
It is set up for natural gas, and a propane conversion kit is on the page. Direct vent means a sealed pipe runs to the outside. It brings in air for the fire and carries the exhaust out, so the fire never uses the air in your room. It lights with a button. It puts out up to 38,000 BTU for warmth in an open living space. On the page you pick the two black fronts and the black end panel. You can add a brick or black glass liner, colored fire bed glass, and a touchscreen remote. Want a fire between two rooms?

FAQ
What makes the Pier a three-sided fireplace?
Glass wraps three faces of the firebox, leaving only the back to meet a stub wall or cabinetry. Majestic calls it a fireside experience you can walk around, and that is accurate; the fire projects out into the room and stays in view as you move through the space.
Can this fireplace break up an open floor plan?
That is its specialty. Set into a low partition, it partitions your space or anchors multiple rooms at once, defining a dining zone from a living zone without building a solid wall. Of all our multi-sided fireplace designs, this is the one architects reach for in open plans.
How many seats get a view of the fire?
Nearly all of them. With three glazed sides, the flames stay visible from most of the room at once, which is the quiet advantage over a flat-front unit that plays to a single sofa. In a large gathering space, nobody ends up staring at the back of a fireplace.
What are its output and viewing dimensions?
The Pier 36 carries a 38,000 BTU per hour input with a 33 by 21-5/8 inch viewing area. That is enough fire to hold its own at the center of a big open space, where a smaller flame picture would read as a lightbox rather than a proper hearth.
How do you frame a firebox open on three sides?
It builds into a peninsula or stub wall rather than a flat wall cavity: plan on 23 inches of framing depth, 38-1/8 inches of height, and 40 inches of width. The chase behind it carries the vent run, so the three glass faces stay clean and completely unobstructed.
Should the Pier's styling go authentic or modern?
It is offered in either authentic or modern styling, so the choice follows the room. In a farmhouse great room the authentic treatment feels like a built hearth; in a loft the modern face turns the fireplace into sculpture. The three-sided geometry carries both looks equally well.
Can you walk all the way around it?
Almost. Three sides are glass and open to the room, while the fourth ties into the partition that carries gas and venting, so foot traffic flows around the fireplace naturally. Think big, deliver bigger is how Majestic pitches it, and in person that walk-around presence is what sells people.
