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?

Luxurious line of fire for less
We all love luxury. The stunning elegance, accomplished look, full of chic and style. We all would like a bit of that in our lives, but we are not always so keen on spending the hair-raising sums of money for the very up-market products... We love the image from Vauni fires (http://www.vauni.com/) and we may have a suggestion of how to achieve a similar look with smaller budget. Our Bio Container is probably the best-priced, laboratory tested piece for creating your own line-of-fire style fireplace.

HALLOWEEN IDEA
STUCK ON HALLOWEEN DECORATION IDEAS...? Well, we could possibly have a slight suggestion. A Halloween arrived to UK, people sometimes use candles to put them on their porch (or inside the apartment) together with carved pumpkins or other spooky bits and bobs. We have something that could very well serve as a "giant candle" - mainly because of producing a giant, comparing to the candle, flame. And here's the greatest thing - once the Halloween is over, you are left with a gorgeous ceramic piece which you can put at a dining table, on the patio, on the coffee table, shelf. So here is the alternative to one-day Halloween decorations that go straight to bin when the day is over!

Bio or Electric fire suite?
Which one would you prefer...? The fire on the left is a common electric fire suite, the one on the right is our CRETE model - a freestanding bio fire - for our needs here "a bio fireplace suite". We are so strongly convinced that our bio fires are beating the electric ones that we decided to throw some comparison photos from time to time and get you thinking. Just look - you are comparing a bit of an artificial glow to a real roaring flame. And the heat is pretty much the same - about 3KW. Looking at those two - we think that electric fires should really go bankrupt and bio fires should take over from now on. There. We've said it. :-)
all the info about CRETE, the sizes, prices and more pictures you can find on:
