What Is a Bioethanol Hanging Fireplace?
We often receive questions such as, "What are bio ethanol fires?" In this case, we would like to explain precisely what a bioethanol hanging fireplace is. The name comes from its placement in a room, as it is installed into the ceiling or wall, allowing it to float or hang from the upper part of the space. This design is particularly appealing to those looking for an innovative fireplace or those with limited floor space—making a floating fireplace the perfect addition to any home.
You can find a detailed explanation of the installation process below, along with a video demonstrating each step in a simplified manner. This ensures that anyone can learn how to install a floating fire with ease.
Installation of a Ceiling-Mounted Bio Ethanol Fire
The installation of a bioethanol hanging fire is relatively straightforward. However, for safety and ease, we recommend that at least two individuals carry out the installation together. Our bio pendant fireplaces typically consist of two parts: the piping and the bio fireplace itself.
The easiest way to install your suspended bioethanol fireplace is to assemble these two parts first. This also gives you a better sense of the fireplace’s size and allows you to determine the ideal placement within the room.
Once assembled, the next step is mounting the fireplace to the ceiling using the enclosed screws. After securely attaching the floating bioethanol fire, and before igniting it for the first time, double-check that the installation is stable and properly secured.

Selection of Colours
Regardless of the category – freestanding, ceiling-mounted, or built-in – black fireplaces remain the most popular bioethanol fireplaces. The combination of black with orange flames creates a stunning visual contrast, much like our own logo.
In recent years, white fireplaces have gained popularity. However, while the contrast between the white frame and the orange flames is aesthetically pleasing, white surfaces may show discoloration if placed too close to the flames.
The most commonly sold colours for bioethanol fires are black, steel, and other dark shades. Steel variations include brushed steel, stainless steel, and polished steel, offering durability and a modern look. Prices vary depending on the type of steel and the manufacturing process.
Some polished steel bioethanol fireplaces are more expensive due to additional production steps. If you have a specific colour preference, please contact us to explore your options.
Additional Selections
When selecting a fireplace, customisation options extend beyond colour. Consider alternative placements—while ceiling-mounted fireplaces create a bold statement, a wall-mounted bio ethanol fire seamlessly integrates into the room’s design.
How Much Does It Cost?
Price is an essential factor when purchasing a bioethanol fireplace. We offer three pricing tiers: the Standard range, the UFO Series, and the premium Aeris collection. The price reflects the quality, materials, and craftsmanship involved in manufacturing.
Who Are the Manufacturers?
Only a select few manufacturers produce high-quality ceiling-mounted bioethanol fireplaces. Finding the perfect design is crucial to success, as these fireplaces serve as focal points in any room.
The most well-known brand in ceiling-mounted bioethanol fireplaces is Cocoon Fires, a Spanish manufacturer owned by Australian designer Federico Otero. Their signature Aeris fireplace has gained widespread recognition, even among architects.
Another notable manufacturer is Icon Fires and Hein & Haugaard, based in northern Denmark. Their industrial-style bioethanol fireplaces are available in four colours, with customisable pole lengths.
Both brands also offer freestanding models. Hein & Haugaard produce a single-footed version, while Cocoon Fires offers both a pedestal and a tripod model called Terra.
What Safety Features Are Included with a Ceiling-Mounted Bioethanol Fire?
- High Placement of Flames: The elevated position of the flames reduces the risk of accidental contact, making it safer for homes with children or pets.
- Secure Mounting: Mounted directly into the ceiling with a robust bracket system, ensuring a stable and secure installation.
- Flame Regulation: Some models allow you to adjust flame height and intensity for optimal heat control and safety.
- Fuel Spill Prevention: Designed with spill-prevention mechanisms to keep the bioethanol fuel contained within the burner, reducing fire hazards.
- Ventilation-Free: Unlike traditional fireplaces, ceiling-mounted bioethanol fires do not require a chimney, as bioethanol burns cleanly with minimal CO₂ emissions.
Are Ceiling-Mounted Bioethanol Fires Environmentally Friendly?
Yes! Ceiling-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are an eco-friendly alternative to traditional wood-burning fireplaces. They burn cleanly, producing only water vapor and a small amount of carbon dioxide. Bioethanol is a renewable energy source derived from plant materials, making it a sustainable choice.
Are Ceiling-Mounted Bioethanol Fires Easy to Operate?
Absolutely! These fireplaces are user-friendly and require no chimney or vent. Simply fill the bioethanol burner, ignite with a long lighter or match, and adjust the flame using the built-in control mechanism. The absence of smoke, soot, and ash also makes maintenance easy.
Are Ceiling-Mounted Bioethanol Fires Suitable for Small Rooms?
Yes, they are perfect for small spaces! Ceiling-mounted bioethanol fireplaces save floor space by being installed directly into the ceiling. Their sleek, suspended design adds a modern and stylish touch while providing warmth without taking up room.
Is There a Bioethanol Fireplace Showroom Near Me?
