This fire offers a great alternative to traditional fireplaces. The bio-ethanol used to fuel fireplaces is a renewable energy source made from materials of natural origin, that provides a fire without smoke, or odour. The burning is non-toxic, releases only water vapour along with a small amount of CO2 equivalent to about two regular candles. These fireplaces don't need a chimney or a vent so there is no building work required. It works with any decor and its real flames create a warm and pleasant atmosphere anywhere you wish to enjoy a fire. It's very easy to install on the wall, like hanging a picture, includes a mounting kit.
