COASTROAD Hearth & Patio Since Laura Burton is an interior designer (beautiful work, by the way) and not a fireplace expert, I can field this one.
The fireplace in the photo is an open front, vented, non-circulating (no fan) wood burning fireplace with gas logs installed. The only heat you will get is radiant heat (just like you would with a wood fire). The question you pose is not applicable to this situation.
On the other hand, since circulated convective heat naturally rises, there is no point raising anything, as the heated air will rise naturally. If anything, you would want forced air to come into the room as low as possible, not raised.
