Hi, Sandy!
RJ from our Customer Service Team said this regarding your question:
Hereās the link to the 3-sided fireplaces in our collection:
https://modernblaze.com/collections/3-sided-electric-fireplaces
These are dropshipped directly from the manufacturers.Ā
If you have more concerns, donāt hesitate to reach out to support@modernblaze.com!
Do you make these for 3 sided fire places?
Thank you for your question. You can find power requirements for each individual product on the product page. Generally, all plug-in fireboxes are designed to be plugged into a standard 120V household outlet. Hardwired models can be wired to 120/208/240 Volts. Generally, hardwiring to 240V will double the heat output (refer to the product manual for the particular fireplace you are interested in).
What is the power requirements for these fireplaces?
