Denatured Ethanol /Metalized Spirits Fireplaces
Readily available, environmentally friendly, no harmful emissions
With rising energy prices, air and water pollution, and an increasing awareness of human impacts on the global environment, many people are interested in clean, safe, and environmentally friendly heating options for their homes. Ethanol is one of these – since it is made from plants, it does not release any new carbon dioxide (CO2) into the air. The only CO2 that can be released is the gas which was absorbed by the plants as they grew. Also, when ethanol is burned its emissions are roughly similar to human breath – small amounts of water vapor and carbon dioxide, with no harmful or toxic substances, so ventilation is not necessary.
The fireplaces are powered by liquid denatured ethanol. Unlike traditional fireplace constructions, no chimney is needed. The flames are as natural and yellow orange as in wood firing.
Our fireplaces utilize modern technology for leisure firing. The energy you supply goes straight into the room as heat, instead of being lost through the chimney. Thus the efficiency is high and the user does not expend more energy than necessary. Denatured ethanol is biodegradable and a renewable energy source
Firing in conventional open fireplaces produces large amounts of soot and other unhealthy substances that must be evacuated through a smoke channel, requiring a fixed installation that locks the open fireplaces position in the home. Our fireplaces need no fixed installation and are fully mobile. The fireplace can be moved, for example, you relocate or re-furnish. Altogether this provides unbeatable flexibility in contrast to an open fireplace.
Our products are designed to address the user’s emotional need for fire. Much care is devoted to making the products flexible and attractive for users with varying requirements, tastes and living situations. The materials are fire-resistant and carefully selected to harmonize with the value of fire and to express aesthetics, quality and warmth.
The traditional open hearth will continue to function as a comfort-raiser for many people. At the same time, modern living conditions stimulate the demand for more comfortable solutions.
Our products enable you to enjoy the mood-enhancing value of fire without the drawbacks of conventional wood or gas technology such as requirements on chimney, installation and maintenance. Unlike traditional heating stoves, our product are very simple to handle and can therefore be used at any time. You need only fill with fuel and light the fire with the accompanying lighter. The flames are fine right from the start.
The products are adapted to give beautiful flames that spread moderate, pleasant warmth. After the fire is out, there is no need to oversee the hearth, unlike ordinary stoves. No subsequent cleaning or maintenance is needed either – ashes and soot belong to the past at last.
An ethanol-powered fireplace is an environment-friendly alternative to traditional stoves, as these can release significant amounts of harmful substances to both the indoor and outdoor surroundings.
The fuel, denatured ethanol, is biologically degradable and is produced by a fermentation process from renewable raw materials such as wheat, barley and corn. By choosing an ethanol-powered hearth from us, you employ a modern technology for leisure firing. The energy you supply goes straight into the room as heat, instead of being lost through the chimney. Thus the efficiency is high and the user does not expend more energy than necessary.
