Step 1: Bioethanol Burner

Choosing the right bioethanol burner is key to achieving a seamless and stylish fireplace transformation. Start by measuring the width, depth, and height of your existing fireplace to ensure a perfect fit.

While all bioethanol burners share a sleek, minimalist steel design, the choice comes down to the flame effect you want to achieve:

Deluxe Burner – Features a linear flame, ideal for a contemporary and elegant look.
Premium Burner – A professional-grade option that requires a bit more depth but delivers a higher, more dynamic campfire-style flame.

Pro Tip: The most important factor is that the burner fits comfortably inside the fireplace without obstruction. Once installed, you’ll enjoy a clean, smoke-free fire with a captivating ambiance.

Step 2: Decorative Accessories

Elevate the aesthetics of your bioethanol fireplace by incorporating ceramic logs, pebbles, or other fire-safe decorations for a realistic and stylish finish. Thoughtful detailing transforms a simple burner into an elegant focal point that complements your interior design.

Pro Tip: Measure the interior of your fireplace to ensure your decorative elements fit properly without obstructing the flames. Avoid placing ceramic pieces directly on the flame of the burner, as painted ceramics can emit an unpleasant odor when exposed to heat.

Step 3: Quality Bioethanol Fuel

For a clean, efficient burn and vibrant flames, it’s essential to select a premium bioethanol fuel with an alcohol content of 96.6%. High-quality fuel ensures minimal soot, no smoke, and a longer burn time, making it the perfect choice for both aesthetic appeal and practicality in interior design projects. More importantly it ensures happy customers!

Pro Tip: Investing in superior bioethanol fuel enhances both the ambiance and performance of your fireplace, ensuring a realistic, flickering flame without unwanted odors or residue.
