Bio Ethanol Fireplaces are a quick and efficient way to add real fire to your living space. Bio Ethanol burns so cleanly (producing just water vapour and some carbon dioxide) that ethanol-based fires do not require a flue, or any other architectural measures to conform to fire safety regulations. This makes them particularly useful in urban areas with smoke restrictions, or modern flats and houses where a conventional fire hearth is not present. The most noteworthy benefit is that Bio Ethanol Fires do actually produce meaningful heat, and are significantly more efficient than conventional fires, which lose 90% of heat to their flue system. For these reasons, Bio Ethanol Fireplaces are a genuine heating alternative
