FAQ’s
A bioethanol fireplace uses liquid bioethanol fuel to produce a real flame without the need for a traditional chimney or flue. It is often specified where architectural flexibility is important and a real flame is desired without structural constraints.
There is no single answer for every project. Sustainability depends on how the fireplace is used, how the building performs, and which technology is most appropriate. High-efficiency gas, electric, and carefully specified bioethanol systems can all be suitable depending on the context.
Yes, when correctly specified and used. High-quality burners, proper ventilation, and careful integration are essential. At Modus, we only specify proven systems and design them to meet safety and performance requirements.
Bioethanol fires do in fact produce a lot of heat. Due to the fact that they are designed to be used without a chimney/flue system, they burn with 100% efficiency meaning all the heat produced by the fire stays within the space. For this reason it's important to ensure that the housing that the fireplace sits in can manage the heat and that the room of the fireplace is sized correctly for that particular burner to ensure comfort and convenience
Bioethanol fires are designed to burn with fumes emitted harmlessly into the room rather than being extracted via a flue system. As such there can be a noticeable odour when the fire is running. At Modus we only use the most premium quality burners with technology designed to minimise emissions and odour.
No. That’s one of the biggest selling points. Because bioethanol fires are designed to be flueless, it makes them incredibly versatile and easy to incorporate in most situations.





Architectural fireplaces, designed without precedent
If you can conceive it, we can deliver it. That is what Modus does best. Working closely with our in-house design team, and in collaboration with Europe's leading manufacturers, we develop fireplaces that respond precisely to the architecture, materiality, and intent of each project. The result is a fireplace tailor-made for its setting, and for no other.
Every element is open to specification, from stone, metal, and finish through to proportion and detailing.
Each fireplace is engineered in close partnership with Europe's leading manufacturers, with structural detailing and combustion performance resolved as part of the design.
We work as an extension of the project team, from concept through to commissioning, so the fireplace sits within the architecture rather than against it.
