Bioethanol Fireplaces
Bioethanol Fireplaces - Heat-Resistant Materials for Clean and Modern Fireplace Construction
Sustainable, ventless fireplace solutions with fire-rated insulation and finishing materials
Vitcas provides a specialised range of construction materials for building bioethanol fireplaces-a contemporary alternative to traditional wood-burning and gas-fired models. Bioethanol fireplaces offer clean combustion, minimal installation requirements, and modern visual appeal, making them ideal for use in living rooms, apartments, and other indoor spaces where conventional fireplaces may not be viable.
Advantages of a bioethanol fireplace
Unlike wood or gas fireplaces, bioethanol-fuelled fireplaces do not require a chimney, flue, or connection to gas or electrical systems. This allows for greater flexibility in installation and positioning within the home. The system is ventless and does not generate soot, tar, or smoke-making it a cleaner and lower-maintenance alternative to traditional heating appliances.
Additional benefits include:
-
Carbon-neutral combustion, making it an eco-conscious choice
-
No structural modifications needed for installation
-
Odourless and soot-free operation, reducing indoor air pollution
-
A sleek, modern aesthetic suitable for minimalist interiors
Recommended materials for bioethanol fireplace construction
To ensure safety and thermal performance, Vitcas offers several heat-resistant materials suitable for constructing or lining bioethanol fireplaces:
-
Vermiculite fire boards, including decorative variants, offer excellent thermal insulation and can be used to line the recess or act as a protective backdrop.
-
Bio-soluble insulation blankets provide lightweight thermal protection behind cladding or decorative panels.
-
Heat-resistant paints are available to apply over fire-rated surfaces for a clean, finished appearance that withstands elevated temperatures.
These materials allow you to create a stylish, fire-safe installation without the complexity of traditional chimney-based systems.
