Open plan design is one of the most popular elements of contemporary home design. Open plan design allows for the integration of everyday living, with combined living, kitchen and dining areas creating both a functional and aesthetically pleasing area. In addition open plan design helps to allow more natural sunlight into a space as well as creates the illusion of more space.
Despite all the benefits of open plan design for modern living, there are potential drawbacks. Poor thermal control is perhaps the biggest downside to open plan design, with the time it can take as well as the costs involved in heating these large spaces having a significant impact on power bills.
Lopi have addressed the heating needs of modern open plan design with a new double sided gas fireplace, the Lopi 4415 ST HO GS2, which provides high heat output without compromising on style.
A double sided fireplace is a stunning addition to any home, instantly becoming a centrepiece that provides a ‘wow’ factor throughout multiple rooms. The Lopi 4415ST HO GS2 has a huge viewing area on either side providing a stunning housing for the long row of dancing flames across a choice of media including log, driftwood and stone. The flames are complemented by built-in accent lighting under the floor for use year round regardless of weather.
Beyond the design benefits, the flexibility of the Lopi 4415 ST HO GS2 can help to save money and space. A combination of radiant heat and convection through blowers offers the best of both worlds, allowing large open plan areas to be heated throughout quickly and easily, while still enjoying the radiant warmth unique to a fireplace.
The dual blowers can direct heat equally to both sides of the fireplace or set upon installation to be adjusted to blow out of just one side. This allows for equal convection heating on both sides when installed as a room divider in a large space or providing less heat on one side if the fireplace is dividing a large and small space.
The Lopi 4415 ST HO GS2 sets a new standard in double sided gas fireplaces, with an unmatched style and performance making it the perfect addition for modern open plan design.
