An inset fireplace is seamlessly integrated into a wall, furniture, or mantelpiece — only the fire is visible. With bioethanol, you don't need a flue or a gas connection. You choose the fire view that suits your space.

Choose your inset fireplace by fire view

The view determines how you see the fire and where you place the fireplace. Choose the type that suits your space:

• Front (single-sided) — classic front view in a wall
• See-through (double-sided) — fire view from two sides, connecting spaces
• Three-sided — fire visible from three sides
• Corner fireplace — for placement in a corner
• Panorama — wide, low flame line
• Room divider — as a separating element in the room
• Island — free-standing in the room, visible all around

Without flue or gas connection

A bioethanol inset fireplace burns on liquid biofuel and produces real flames, without smoke or soot. You don't need a chimney, flue, or gas connection — even in a new build or gas-free home. Always ensure sufficient ventilation and follow the included instructions.

Installation and customization

You install the fireplace between fire-resistant material, with ventilation for proper heat circulation. You choose the width that fits your niche, and we can custom-build a casing upon request. In the downloads section, you'll find the technical drawing and installation guidelines for each model.
