Easy installation with Xaralyn Bioethanol fireplace solutions

Installing a bioethanol fireplace can be a wonderful addition to your interior. It not only provides a warm and cozy atmosphere but is also environmentally friendly. We offer multiple options for incorporating a bioethanol burner.


"Even with two left hands, you can do it yourself!"


Placing the bioethanol fireplace

First, it's important to know where you want to place the bioethanol fireplace. This could be in a TV cabinet, a cinewall, a custom project fireplace, or even a room divider. The possibilities are endless! There is a difference between a bioethanol unit and a separate bioethanol burner with a built-in profile


A Bioethanol Built-In Unit

A unit comes with a burner surrounded by a metal tray. This is usually the choice if you want to place the fireplace in an existing hearth, wall, or partition. The metal tray of the unit helps retain heat better, and the wall in which the fireplace is installed is better protected against the heat.


A Bioethanol Burner with Built-In Profile

Using a built-in profile makes installation very easy. All you need to do is create a hole in the furniture where the built-in profile will sit. Then you can hang the bioethanol burner in it. The installation instructions will indicate the minimum dimensions needed for installing these burners and the optimal distance for the flames.


Choose fireproof paneling

When installing a bioethanol fireplace, for example in a piece of furniture or under a television, it is crucial to make the frame from fireproof paneling. For extra safety, we always recommend using additional fireproof materials around the built-in unit. Materials like Promatect are excellent for this purpose. These panels are designed not to burn, even if you hold a lighter under them. By choosing these materials, you create a safe space for the fireplace, ensuring that the surrounding area is optimally protected against heat and fire.


Different fire views

Xaralyn offers various models of bioethanol fireplaces that suit different interior styles and space layouts. There are fireplaces with a single-sided view, ideal for placement against a wall. Double-sided fireplaces allow you to view the fire from two sides. Panorama fireplaces offer a wide view of the fire and are perfect for large spaces where the fire needs to be visible from multiple angles. Lastly, a see-through fireplace with a separate burner is perfect for partition walls, offering a view from both sides and creating a sense of space. These different fire views ensure that you can always find a fireplace that perfectly matches your desires and home decor. 


Safety with the Xaralyn patented ceramic stone©

Another important aspect of a Xaralyn bioethanol fireplace is the safe ceramic stone used in the burner. This ceramic stone absorbs the bioethanol and ensures an even and controlled burn. This significantly increases safety by reducing the risk of fuel spillage and uneven flames. Xaralyn’s ceramic stone is specially designed to be durable and heat-resistant, allowing you to enjoy an economical bioethanol fireplace with beautiful, consistent flames with peace of mind.

No Chimney Needed

Because bioethanol burns cleanly, no smoke vent is required. This means you can install the fireplace almost anywhere in your home without worrying about expensive and time-consuming modifications. Save on the costs of maintenance and installation of traditional fireplaces with a bioethanol fireplace. 


No Smoke, Soot, or Ash 

Bioethanol is a green, environmentally friendly fuel. This means no harmful substances such as smoke, soot, or ash are released. No stains, soot marks, or streaks on ceilings and walls. Choose a bioethanol fireplace and experience the difference for yourself.
