The greatest majority of bio-ethanol fireplaces sold in Europe are manufactured in China. We have visited a lot of the factories in China that are manufacturing and supplying the bio-ethanol fires to retailers around the World. Construction methods and quality controls can vary greatly depending on the manufacturer.

Areas to consider are the handling and storage of the bio-ethanol fuel, filling the bio-ethanol burner tray, room ventilation requirements, lighting and shutting off the bio-ethanol fire, installing the fireplace in your property, adding accessories like pebbles, the choice of finishes and the effects of heat generated.

There are many different styles and types of bio-ethanol fireplaces on the market some for indoors, others can only be used outside. We hope that the guides we have written below will give you some additional help in choosing and installing a bio-ethanol fireplace in your home. Of course, the first step in installing the fireplace is to read and follow the manufacturers instructions which will be supplied with the fireplace. If there are no instructions contact the manufacture before starting to install or use the fire.
