Multi-Residential Applications: Ethanol Fireplaces in Apartments

Design Freedom for Contemporary Apartments

The beauty of ethanol technology lies in its elegant simplicity. Without the need for flues, gas lines, or complex infrastructure, these fireplaces can be installed virtually anywhere in an apartment setting. Imagine the freedom of placing a stunning flame feature exactly where it creates the most impact - whether that's a statement wall in the living area, a see-through divider between spaces, or even as part of a kitchen island for a truly unique design statement.

For apartment dwellers, ethanol fireplaces offer the perfect balance of form and function. The real, dancing flame provides the authentic ambience that electric alternatives simply can't match, while the clean-burning technology eliminates the maintenance headaches and structural limitations of traditional wood-burning fireplaces. It's the best of both worlds - genuine fireside warmth with contemporary convenience.

One of the most exciting aspects of ethanol fireplace design is the flexibility of viewing angles. The EcoSmart Fire Flex Series offers eight distinctive styles for apartment settings:

• Single-sided fireplaces feature one open side, creating a traditional front-facing flame experience perfect for wall placement.
• Double-sided fireplaces allow viewing from both front and back, elegantly dividing living and dining areas while maintaining openness.
• Corner fireplaces feature two open sides meeting at a right angle, transforming awkward junctions into cosy focal points.
• Peninsula fireplaces with three open sides define boundaries between spaces while maintaining an airy feel.
• Bay fireplaces offer three-sided viewing with angled sides, creating a panoramic flame experience visible from multiple vantage points.
• Island fireplaces feature four open sides, creating a stunning centrepiece visible from all angles.
• Bench fireplaces integrate fire into functional furniture pieces with viewing from above and all sides.

These versatile configurations allow apartment dwellers to incorporate real flames in ways that complement rather than compromise limited living space.

Zero-Clearance Installation: Maximising Space

In apartments where every square metre counts, the zero-clearance installation of ethanol fireplaces is revolutionary. Built-in fireplaces can be installed directly into timber or metal stud walls without requiring expensive heat-resistant materials or clearance space. This allows for:

• Installation in locations previously impossible for traditional fireplaces

• Seamless integration with cabinetry and built-ins

• Placement in high-rise buildings where flues are impractical

Portable Solutions for Complete Flexibility

For rental properties or apartments with restrictions on permanent installations, EcoSmart Fire offers elegant portable solutions:

• Designer Fireplaces provide sophisticated, freestanding options that require no installation yet deliver a striking visual impact.

• Fire Tables combine the functionality of a table with the ambience of fire, perfect for balconies and compact living areas.

These portable options offer the perfect balance of impact and flexibility, allowing you to take your fireplace with you when you move or reposition it seasonally to create different moods within your space.
