Why do we need a blog?

WHY DO WE HAVE A BLOG? Because we are passionate about what we do and we would like to share our thoughts, ideas and pictures, which are not exactly "suited" to our main website. We also are committed to providing inspirational content to our customers, as well as expert advice.

Bio fires showroom - friendly place to warm up by a fire

Come to our showroom and see all the fires for yourself. We have our full range of fireplaces on display and our friendly, experienced and devoted staff can provide you with all the information you may need and answer all your questions.  

You need to make an appointment as the showroom is connected with our office, but this is only because we want to make sure that we give you our full attention and we have time allocated especially for you.

It's not all about selling. If you just feel like checking it out, seeing the fires in action but leaving your decision for later - that's absolutely fine by us, we will not cheekily manoeuvre you next to our Credit Card terminal and start giving you those hurry-up-looks. In fact, if you just feel like sitting in an armchair and considering whether you want a bio fire in your life - we'll happily make you a cup of tea and leave you in peace for as long as you need.

We just LIKE people and it simply is nice to meet someone who wants to discuss the subject we are all so passionate about  - bio ethanol fireplaces.

Natural stone fireplace ! Customers' favourite.

We have new shots of our very popular Ivory Flame II fireplace with couple of close-ups of real stone finish. This is one of the most desired looks at the moment, and the naturally imperfect texture of the stone adds this very real touch...! Whoever did some research should know how expensive these things can be, so nothing surprising our Ivory Flame II goes quickly! New burner inside gives even nicer flame, too - hurray! :-)

We love it, do you...?

electric fire comparison to bio fire

Another little comparison from the series "why bio ethanol fires are far better than electric fires"...?

HEAT OUTPUT 
- electric fires give off app 2-3kW of heat 
- wall-hung bio fire gives between 2-3 kW

INSTALLATION 
- electric: wires and cables sticking out or if you want to hide them you need to build them inside the wall, rip the wall, get a builder in - lot of FUSS
- bio ethanol fire: hangs on the wall like a picture frame, NO wires, NO messing with walls = NO FUSS

LOOKS
- electric fireplace - very dubiously pleasing look, sensation of looking at something fake
- bio fire:  real roaring flame, playing in front of your eyes, living beauty!

PRICE
- wall hanging electric fire price bracket £200-£400
- similar size wall hanging bio fire from Gel Fireplaces Ltd  £190-£300

RUNNING COST
- electric fireplace: app £0.80 per hour
- bio fireplace (when fuel bought in bulk): app £0.80 per hour, otherwise about £1/h

Which one would you choose?
