Hello.
We are getting a brick fireplace and now the question arises how to sensibly position the grills that blow the warm air either to the right or left of the fireplace. My concern is that if the grill is on the left towards the living room wall and couch, it heats up quite well in that area, whereas the entire right side (living room and open kitchen) gets nothing from it. To what extent the ventilation system distributes the air is the question...
Advantage of ventilation grill on the left of the fireplace = less noticeable. On the right = more noticeable, but possibly the warm air is better distributed. The fireplace also radiates heat through the glass. Additionally, it will be built with fireclay and extra storage stones. I assume this will cause the heat emission to be relatively long and even.
Where should we better position the air grills? Left or right on the fireplace? You can find more details in the drawn floor plan. Thanks in advance for your opinions
