Who It’s For A fireplace in the wall between two rooms usually faces only one of them—put the fire in the living room and the dining room gets the back of a wall. You need one fire both rooms can see. If you’re planning a wall, column, or room divider and want the flame to be the thing that connects the two spaces, the Ortal Tunnel TU 4070 is built for exactly that. Choose a standard single-sided fireplace instead and one room gets the fire while the other gets drywall . What Makes It Special The 4070 is a see-through fireplace: glass on both faces, so the same flame is fully visible from both rooms at once . Built into a wall or column, it divides two living spaces with light and warmth instead of drywall—each side gets the fire, not the back of it. Ortal’s passive cool wall technology keeps the surface above the unit cool enough to hang a TV or artwork directly over the fireplace , and the frameless European design lets your tile or stone run right to the edge of the glass, so the fire looks built into the wall rather than bolted onto it. The handset does more than on and off. Set it to 70 and the fireplace holds the room at the temperature you set , cycling the flame on its own—or use the countdown timer, the programmable schedule, or run the whole thing from your phone. Possible Downsides • It builds into a framed wall or column , so every installation ends with finish work on both sides. • No internal lighting on this model ; Ortal supplies interior lighting only on its tall-glass versions. • The double-glass heat barrier version runs on household power , so it won’t operate during a power outage. If you want one fire that two rooms can share, the Tunnel TU 4070 is the right decision. The wall that used to divide the house becomes the place everyone gathers—on both sides of it. The 4070 comes with your choice of five included log sets—standard, weathered driftwood, refractory clay, and short or long English logs—with Bonfire, Campfire, Aspen, and charred-branch upgrades and individual black, grey, or white branches available, plus a propane conversion kit if natural gas isn’t an option.
