Traditional Fireplaces Running On Bioethanol
Typically, if you are unfamiliar with the details of the industry, when you hear of a bioethanol fire, you imagine futuristic fireplaces in unusual shapes and possibly including some glass. This is mostly what you subconsciously registered when shopping in B&Q or Homebase. Such fires usually bring one thought: “It’s a great idea, this bioethanol, but it’s a shame the designs are so… ugly”. Not to criticise the mass market and cheap fires, they have their enthusiasts too, but truth to be told, you will not find hugely stylish fireplaces in any hardware store. You may find something contemporary that could do, but the traditional range of bio fires seems to be nearly non-existing.
A standard electric fire insert is only an immitation of a real flame. |
At Bio Fires, we proud ourselves in delivering a wide range of traditional and classic designs of bio ethanol fireplaces. We put a lot of effort into creating fires that will blend in with old traditional fires but won’t be dated at the date of purchase. We believe in simplicity, too. This season we are very happy to announce our two new babies on the non-modern shelf: new improved DIY Replacement Insert for gas and electric fireplaces and Athena Grate.
The DIY Replacement Insert is something that plainly answers all the requests we had for years: “Do you have a fire that I could just put inside my electric fire suite instead of the actual electric fire?” “Yes, we do!” Here it is:
Fire Inset, Insert Fire or non-electric firebox for electric fires - call it what you please! |
This has been such a hit and we feel that we have made many customers very happy with this product. Last year the product was sold out long before Christmas, now we are bringing you an improved version, which is even more universal, as it has an extra feature: a spacer bar. Popular with electric fires, this extra bit is going to be useful if your fireplace has virtually no depth as you can then hide the side of the inset fire with the spacer bar.
The spacer is suitable for fireplaces with less depth at the back while the heat shield pushes heat into the room. |
The fire is created for existing openings, it works brilliantly as a replacement for electric or flueless gas fires, producing a lovely real flame for about 2-2.5 h per refill and it will leave you completely enchanted with your cosy evenings in.
Athena Grate is an alternative design among our basket line. So far we only had straight shapes and we recognise that traditional or classical fireplaces have so many more faces. Athena Fire Grate is a stunning and simplistic Greek-inspired fire basket, which is suitable for existing fireplaces. Light in design, it won’t overpower your fireplace and will also look very presentable when unlit, enhancing the atmosphere of the living space.
Athena Grate, a contemporary take on a smaller traditional basket, will enhance an old existing fireplace and bring style to any room. |
Regulating Bio Container - Turn the Fire Down, Darling, I’m Getting Too Hot!
Ribbon bio fireplace container, creating a fashionable wall of dancing flame, has been one of our bestsellers for the past 6 years. This year we are introducing a brand new version of it, slightly longer and enriched by the regulating function, which will allow for a comfortable flame adjustment.
Regulating Bio Container - an easy and effective solution for long ribbon flame. |
The regulation has been already long present in our basic range (and in our budget Small Burner), but the Bio Container was just on or off. Despite this, it creates the much desirable magazine look and it’s extremely wallet-friendly, given the quality of material and the detailed advice service we deliver along with the sale, so it continues to be extremely popular among designers and architects.
Two bio containers placed together to achieve the beautiful effect of a long linear flame. |
We haven’t changed the narrow structure of this long fire insert, but we have added a regulating lid, safety tray and max level indicator. It’s still very affordable compared to many several-thousand long ribbon containers available on the high end of the industry. The Regulating Bio Container gives you just about the same look that most top-shelf linear bioethanol fires, and even though it is fully manual and won’t ignite by a remote control, let’s face it, you probably wouldn't mind taking a few steps from the sofa to your fireplace if it means you keep £4000 in your pocket...
Create your dream bio fireplace with any design you want. |
After all, what really matters is the time spent by the fire once you actually turn it on!
