I am in the process of building a new high efficient home. It will have twelve inch thick walls full of insulation. I am looking to add a gas fireplace. The issue I am running into is the dealers in my area all carry fireplaces that are deep. The depth would mean either the fireplace would need to protrude into the room or outside.

Can anyone recommend a fireplace that is shallow any maybe only protrude into the room by no more that two or three inches?

Thanks
