Weisser Portalkamin mit Bioethanol-Brenner und Glasscheibe

Wall-mounted, freestanding or mantel? How to find your bioethanol fireplace

A bioethanol fireplace makes a statement – with a real flame, without wood or ash. Before choosing a model, it is worth looking at the type – it determines how the fireplace works in the room.

1. Wall-mounted fireplace – the floating flame

Wall-mounted fireplaces are fixed to the wall and look like a picture made of fire. They save floor space and suit living rooms, bedrooms and open-plan spaces. Our models range from compact formats up to 120 cm in width, optionally with a glass panel.

2. Freestanding fireplace – flexible placement

Freestanding models range from small tabletop fireplaces to sculptural pieces for the living space. Many are simply set up; please observe the information on the base and fixing in the instructions.

3. Mantel fireplace – the classic look

Mantel fireplaces combine the appearance of a traditional fireplace with a bioethanol burner. They are an eye-catcher on a calm wall; many models offer a glass panel and an adjustable flame. Depending on the model, fixing to the wall is required.

4. Burners and inserts – for bespoke solutions

If you would like to use a piece of furniture, a niche or an existing fireplace, you can integrate a burner or insert. Planning is especially important here: dimensions, distances and ventilation must suit the installation – if in doubt, with professional advice.

What to look for in every model

  • Size: choose the width to suit the wall or furniture – a fireplace looks best with some space around it.
  • Glass panel: it shields the flame and keeps the flame picture calmer in a draught.
  • Burner capacity: it determines how long one filling lasts. You will find the figures in the product details.
  • Finish: many models are available in several colours – from textured black and gloss white to bronze or stainless steel.
  • Location: check room size, ventilation and safety distances according to the instructions. More in our safety notes.
