WHY BIOETHANOL

Real flame, without the chimney.

No flue, no gas line and no smoke. Here is how bioethanol compares with an open-fronted gas fire.

SIDE BY SIDE

Bioethanol or open-fronted gas?

Both give you a real flame. The difference is everything around it.

BioethanolOpen-fronted gas
InstallationNo chimney, flue, fresh-air vent or utility connections, and fewer trades on site. A suspended fire hangs from a pole fitted to the ceiling.Needs a flue, a fresh-air vent, a gas connection and an electrical connection.
Flame and heatA vibrant, clean-burning flame. With no flue, the warmth stays in the room: a single burner can heat up to 65m².*Burns hotter, but much of the heat is lost up the flue.
ServicingStainless steel burners with no inaccessible moving parts. Clean them by hand when they need it.Servicing every 12 to 18 months by a qualified gas fitter to keep the warranty.
DesignInstalls almost anywhere, including into a timber stud frame, to the manufacturer's clearances.Limited to spaces that can take a flue, which rules out many apartments and commercial fit-outs.
FuelBioethanol, delivered to your door in New Zealand, or bought locally to your fire’s specification.LPG bottles, or natural gas where a connection is available.

*Up to 65m² is based on an EcoSmart XL1200 burner in an insulated room with a 2.4m ceiling. Heat output varies by burner, room and installation.

DESIGN FREEDOM

Put a fire where a chimney could never go.

Because bioethanol burns cleanly, our fires need no chimney or flue for venting. They hang from the ceiling, in a corner or against a wall, wherever the room needs them.

FLAME AND HEAT

All of the warmth stays in the room.

With no flue, none of the heat escapes up a chimney. Bioethanol is ideal for smaller spaces, or alongside another heat source in larger ones. Heat output varies by burner, so check the specification for the model you are looking at.

SERVICING

Nothing to service but a clean.

Our burners are stainless steel with no inaccessible moving parts, so there are no annual gas-fitter visits and no expensive replacement parts. Let it cool fully and follow the manufacturer's care instructions.
