Indoor Bioethanol Fireplaces for Modern Indian Homes
Indoor bioethanol fireplaces offer the experience of a real, living flame without the need for a chimney, flue, or gas line. These fireplaces burn clean bioethanol fuel to produce a natural flame that delivers visual warmth, ambience, and controlled heat for refined interiors.
They are widely chosen for Indian apartments, villas, penthouses, and luxury residences where traditional fireplaces are difficult to install.
What Is an Indoor Bioethanol Fireplace?
An indoor bioethanol fireplace is a real-flame fireplace that operates using liquid bioethanol fuel derived from renewable sources. The fuel burns cleanly, producing a visible flame without smoke, soot, or ash.
Because no chimney or ventilation is required, these fireplaces are classified as ventless fireplaces and are suitable for contemporary Indian interiors.
