The RAIS 600 T Double Sided Tunnel Inset Wood Burning Fire is a contemporary tunnel fireplace designed to create a striking visual connection between two rooms or separate zones within a larger open-plan space.
As part of the RAIS 600 concept, the 600 T is characterised by its large opposing glass surfaces, allowing the flames to be viewed straight through the appliance from either side. This makes it particularly effective when installed within a dividing wall or central architectural structure, where the fireplace can become a shared focal point between adjoining spaces.
The design is deliberately clean and understated. Rather than surrounding the fire with heavy framing, the expansive glazing places the emphasis on the flames and helps maintain visual continuity through the room.
RAIS specifies IR-coated glass, designed to support efficient combustion while helping to reduce soot formation on the panes. Maintaining a clear view through both sides is especially important on a tunnel fireplace, where the transparency of the installation is central to its architectural effect.
The RAIS 600 T also offers flexibility in how the fireplace is accessed. It can be configured to open from both sides, or one side can remain completely closed where access is only required from a single room.
The current RAIS manufacturer specification lists a rated heat output of 9.7kW, making the 600 T a substantial fireplace suitable for larger living areas and open-plan interiors, subject to a property-specific heat-loss assessment.
Older retailer information supplied for the appliance lists 7.9kW output, 76% efficiency and Energy Class A. As the current RAIS information now states 9.7kW, the manufacturer figure should be treated as the primary current output specification.
The combination of large double-sided glazing, flexible access and architectural simplicity makes the RAIS 600 T Tunnel Wood Burning Fire particularly well suited to projects where the fireplace is intended to connect two spaces rather than simply sit against a wall.

Expert Insight
The RAIS 600 T is most effective when the fireplace is treated as part of the architecture rather than simply as a heating appliance. Its opposing panes allow sightlines to continue through the fire, which can help separate two living zones physically while retaining a visual relationship between them.
Suitability
The RAIS 600 T Double Sided Tunnel Inset Wood Burning Fire is particularly suited to open-plan living spaces, adjoining living and dining rooms, central fireplace structures and partition walls where a substantial real wood fire needs to be enjoyed from both sides.
