Super hot glass on gas peninsula fireplace!

I am in search of a frameless peninsula fireplace. I thought I would like an Ortal, as they have a nice contemporary look. When I saw it in the showroom, the glass got super hot in a matter of minutes. Just putting my hand near it was hot enough to know not to touch the glass. As this is a peninsula, at the end of a wall, there will be people and kids going past this all the time. Ortal's only solution is double paned glass. Crossing it off my list.

I am now looking into Montigo. They have what they call a power cool pack, which is supposed to bring the glass temperature down to about a hundred degrees. He anyone seen this system in person? Is it safe for kids to be around?

Any other brands that make a frameless peninsula? Are they all going to be super hot, because there is no protective screen around it?
