Three sided fireplaces show the flame from the front and both ends, so the fire becomes a feature you see from several parts of the room. They are often placed as a peninsula, projecting from a wall into an open space, or set into a bay-style corner. This page includes electric models such as the Faber e-MatriX bay view and Modern Flames multi-sided units, and gas models such as the Napoleon Ascent three sided peninsula. Compare the glass width, the viewing angles, the fuel and the framing depth, since multi-sided units need a finished opening on each viewable face.

The first question is electric or gas. Electric three sided models need power and a framed enclosure, and they keep install costs low. Gas peninsula models are direct vent and bring real flame and stronger heat, but need a gas line and a vent run through a wall or roof. Think about sightlines: every open face needs a finished surround, so budget for tile, stone or drywall on all viewable sides. Check the floor-to-glass height so seated guests can see the flame, and confirm the clearance rules for any mantel or television placed near the unit.
A see-through shows the flame from two opposite sides. A three sided unit adds a viewing face at one end, usually the front plus both sides, so it projects into a room.
They are simpler than gas because there is no vent, but you still need a properly framed opening and a power supply that matches the manufacturer's drawing.
