Bioethanol fireplace

ethanolbuilt-inducted

Overview
A bioethanol fireplace by Element4 combines ecological combustion and authentic flame aesthetics. The unit produces a clean flame without ash or soot, offering a low-maintenance design element suitable for contemporary interior architecture and selected outdoor applications.

Key benefits

• Clean combustion producing an authentic flame without ash or soot
• Design-led options to integrate as a visual and architectural element
• Lower maintenance compared with conventional wood-burning fireplaces
• Available for indoor use and for selected outdoor models

Operation & refill
Element4 models feature a safe automatic pump filling system: insert the hose into a bioethanol canister and activate the pump; the tank fills automatically and stops when full, simplifying and securing refilling operations for professional users and installers.

Installation & ventilation
Bioethanol combustion emits combustion gases; in most countries connection to a chimney or appropriate extraction is required. Connection to an external flue or extraction system is recommended to ensure long-term indoor air quality and reliable, code-compliant operation.

Performance & sizing
Bioethanol fireplaces can deliver substantial thermal output. Correct sizing for the room is essential: very wide or high-output models may generate more heat than small spaces can safely dissipate. Select model dimensions and nominal output to match the project requirements.

Safety & certification
Modern Element4 units comply with strict certification standards and include multiple safety features. Professional installation and adherence to the supplied installation manual are required to guarantee safe operation.

Maintenance
Pure bioethanol burns cleanly without residue, so maintenance is generally limited. Regular functional checks of seals, sensors and the refill system are recommended to maintain long-term reliability.

Odour
When using high-purity bioethanol fuel, combustion is clean and essentially odourless.

Pricing (indicative)
A standard bioethanol fireplace, fully installed, typically starts at approximately CHF 15,000 (approx. €12,000). Final cost depends on design, materials and technical options.
