Frequently asked questions about biofireplaces

TM Gloss Fire?

Our company has been engaged in the production of biofireplaces and accessories for them under the TM Gloss Fire brand for 8 years. During its activity, a complete model range of mechanical biofireplaces, automatic biofireplaces and built-in hearths was created. It has proven itself as a reliable partner that produces only high-quality, safe and time-tested products. All products produced are the intellectual property of the company. Executes orders for the development of models of varying degrees of complexity, from the simplest to the most exclusive. The company is developing steadily, is aware of global trends and innovative solutions in the field of biofireplace production. Over the years of fruitful work, it managed to compete with leading European brands and made its contribution to the development of the industry. TM Gloss Fire fireplaces combine exclusive design, fire warmth and high quality products.

A biofireplace is the same fireplace that reproduces a real fire, only instead of firewood, biofuel is used.
Does not require the use of firewood, charcoal, or gas. Does not leave smell, soot, heat, smoke as a result of burning.
The advantage of a biofireplace is that it does not need a chimney, gives a real flame and is aesthetically attractive.

The principle of operation of a good biofireplace is based on the combustion of bioethanol vapors. The biofireplace is filled with liquid biofuel, which reproduces a living saturated flame. During combustion, carbon dioxide and water are produced. Heat enters the room and water vapor humidifies the air.

  • Ability to install indoors without permits.

  • A real flame without smoke, ash and soot.

  • Ease of use and installation.

 

  • Interiors of flats, apartments, private mansions, cottages, hotels.

  • Decoration of cafes, restaurants, pubs and clubs.

  • Elements of office decor.

  • Biofuel is pure alcohol obtained from vegetable crops (beetroot, wheat, potato). It is environmentally friendly, it burns completely, when it burns there is no smoke, no soot, no gases harmful to humans.

  • When bioethanol is burned, the same substances released by humans when breathing are released – carbon dioxide and water.

  • Bioethanol is a biodegradable material that is safe for people and the environment. However, the fuel must be stored in a safe place, away from children, as it is flammable.

    • It depends on the model of the biofireplace, the size of the fuel block, the ventilation in the room and the position of the ergonomic latch (if any). Depending on the model, 1 liter of bioethanol burns for 1-3 hours.
      • We recommend using certified bioethanol of European producers (biofuel Bionlov). The use of other types of fuel can lead to the release of gases that are potentially harmful to health during combustion.
        • TM Gloss Fire biofireplaces do not smell when burning due to a specially designed internal device.

        • The smell of bioethanol occurs when extinguishing any biofireplace from all existing manufacturers.

        • In TM Gloss Fire mechanical fuel blocks, the smell during extinguishing is reduced to a minimum thanks to a separate flame extinguisher. It does not heat up, it lies separately from the unit. When quenching occurs, bioethanol vapors collect in droplets and fall inside the fuel block. The degree of smell after extinguishing is determined by the quality of the biofireplace. The smaller the smell, the better the biofireplace.
        •  
            In automatic biofireplaces, the flame height is from 40 to 200 mm. In fully functional mechanical fuel units, the fire height depends on the position of the 50-250mm ergonomic latch. In fuel blocks with limited functionality – 200 mm, in designer biofireplaces – 150 mm

 

  • Low quality fuel block.
    Those biofireplaces that do not have a structure (cheap segment or branded European fireplaces without an improved internal device) have a burning smell. Bioethanol vapors do not have time to burn, which is why the smell is formed.

  • Not high-quality bioethanol.
    An unpleasant smell can occur when burning low-quality bioethanol. Therefore, we recommend using certified bioethanol of high purity.

  • Recently finished renovation.
    The presence of extraneous vapors of paints, varnishes, etc.

In the mechanical biofireplaces of the Alaïd Style, Marapi, Katmay, Vasat series, bioethanol will burn with a blue flame for the first 5-7 minutes, then it will heat up and the color will become a beautiful yellow-hot, as when burning wood. Automatic and designer biofireplaces of the Slider series have a rich yellow flame from the first minutes of burning.



The upper part of the fuel block – the front panel – heats up to 160 degrees, the lower part – the body – up to 80 degrees.

No, no additional permissions are required. The biofireplace can be used in any room with sufficient volume, where the necessary ventilation is provided. The absence of a chimney means that the heat released remains indoors.

It is not necessary to install ventilation. However, the room must be well ventilated, it is necessary to ensure a constant flow of fresh air. When using biofireplaces, we recommend opening the window for ventilation (without creating a draft) so that fresh air enters the room and removes heat from the biofireplace. Or the room should have normal supply and exhaust ventilation.

When the room is too small, forced ventilation above the fireplace is required.

Installation of a biofireplace does not require chimneys and exhaust ducts, but it is necessary to objectively evaluate:

  • the area of ​​the room, the size of the biofireplace,

  • presence or absence of flame height adjustment, as well as

  • place of biofireplace installation (residential, public premises or street).

When choosing a biofireplace, it is necessary to take into account the area of ​​​​the room and the size of the biofireplace. If you plan to operate the biofireplace for 1-2 hours, it is enough to open the window for ventilation, thereby ensuring the flow of fresh air into the room. An ergonomic latch will also be a useful function in mechanical biofireplaces, by changing the position of which you can change the height of the fire, and therefore the heat output, thereby increasing the duration of comfortable operation.

If you plan to use the biofireplace for a long time, the open space may not be enough. In this case, it is necessary to arrange effective supply and exhaust ventilation or an exhaust duct above the fireplace (according to the principle of installing an exhaust duct above the gas stove). In the absence of such an opportunity, it is recommended to purchase a biofireplace of smaller sizes or a biofireplace with flame control.

 

When installing a biofireplace in restaurants, clubs, bars, etc. entertainment premises must be guided by the same requirements as when installed in an apartment. However, most often the area of ​​such institutions is 100 m2 or more, therefore, most likely, supply and exhaust ventilation is provided there. And this means that it is possible to choose fireplaces of large sizes.

In the case of installing a biofireplace in halls, waiting areas, offices, high-traffic areas where there is no room ventilation and the biofireplace is planned to be used for a long time to create a cozy atmosphere and attract customers, it is necessary to ensure effective heat removal from the area of ​​the fireplace. In this case, an exhaust duct device is required. Thus, there will always be a working biofireplace in the room, and visitors will not feel discomfort from excess heat and lack of air in the room.

When installing a biofireplace on the street (terrace, open veranda, barbecue and other recreation areas), the following factors must be taken into account:

  • Rain and snow falling into the internal device of the biofireplace will inevitably damage it. It is necessary to exclude the ingress of moisture into the biofireplace by means of a canopy, tent or other covering device above it.

  • Thinking wind and draft can blow the flames. The operation of the biofireplace in this case is not effective. If you have a biofireplace on the street, it is necessary to protect its open sides with glass, which will prevent blowing and stabilize the fire.

  • When direct sunlight hits the biofireplace, the bioflame becomes invisible. It is necessary to place the biofireplace in darkened places, recesses or niches.

  • The automatic biofireplace is designed for indoor use. It is forbidden to use this type of biofireplace outdoors.

The biofireplace emits heat and will be able to heat the room. However, it is not a heating device. When burning, a biofireplace, unlike a radiator, feeds on oxygen, so a constant supply of fresh air is necessary during its operation. The biofireplace is not used for heating. The main function of a biofireplace is decorative. For comfortable use, it is necessary to select a biofireplace depending on the area of ​​the room (see table No. 1).

  • Pay attention to the quality and thickness of the steel. The thickness of the metal must be at least 2 mm for the body parts and at least 6 mm for the parts that heat up the most (the upper part of the firebox, adjusting latch, flame extinguisher). The use of thin material will not only lead to deformations when heated and loss of tightness, but also increases the risk of fire outbreak.

  • Check the build quality. Make sure that the seams connecting the parts of the block are even and strong. No welds are visible in good fuel blocks. Products should look complete.

  • Scratches and dents on the case indicate that the unit was damaged during transportation or was originally poorly manufactured.

  • Consider the minimum area of ​​the room. Before choosing a biofireplace, decide on the room where you want to place it. The accumulation of carbon dioxide is dangerous for humans, so the room must be well ventilated or the supply and exhaust ventilation must be turned on. A mandatory condition for the operation of the fireplace is the influx of fresh air. For this reason, it is not recommended to install powerful biofireplaces in a small bedroom.

  • The glass that is located on the fuel block cannot flake or crack because heat-resistant fireplace glass is used. Tempered glass is used only in built-in hearths, because there is no direct effect of fire on the glass.

  • The fireplace does not require special care. Dust from the fireplace is wiped with a damp cloth, and from decorative glass with an ordinary detergent. The fuel block with a steel surface is wiped with a stainless steel cleaner.

  • 8 mm flame extinguisher – guarantees reliable extinguishing (10 times out of 10).

  • It has an internal device, thanks to which not liquid fuel is burned, but its vapors, evenly distributes bioethanol along the TB, prevents fuel from boiling.

  • Inner filling made of ceramic fiber – densely pressed ceramic fiber absorbs bioethanol, excludes cotton, flashes and prevents the leakage of biofuel.

  • It has an anti-overflow system.

  • Displaced place of refueling and control of the fuel level – allows you to save the time of refueling the TV (now you do not need to distribute 2-3 liters of fuel along the entire length of the firing line).

  • The flame extinguisher lying separately does not heat up, it lies separately from the unit. When quenching occurs, bioethanol vapors collect in droplets and fall inside the fuel block. This allows you to minimize the smell of bioethanol during extinguishing. (tested and proven by German manufacturers).

  • High quality processing of the external and internal parts of the biofireplace. The TV is complemented by decorative turned products made of solid stainless steel (glass holder, handle on the flame extinguisher, twist of the fuel filling compartment).

  • Fuel units (FP) are available with limited functionality, full functionality and with improved functionality.

    • PB with limited functionality – (Alaid Style series biofireplace) – the capabilities of this biofireplace allow you to reproduce a living flame up to 200mm high and extinguish it at any time, leaving biofuel inside the unit.


      Паливний блок Алаїд Style

    • PB is fully functional (PB of the Marapi series) – this biofireplace has extended capabilities. An additional option is added to its design – an ergonomic latch. The ergonomic latch allows you to adjust the height of the flame, adjust the flow of bioethanol, and adjust the heat output


      Влаштування паливного блоку Марапі

    • PB with improved functionality (biofireplaces of the Katmay, Vasat series) – a feature of these units is the presence of a double ventilated housing, thanks to which the thermal load on the enclosing structures is reduced and an improved internal device, as well as an ergonomic latch that allows you to adjust the height of the flame, adjust the consumption of bioethanol, and adjust the heat output.


      Влаштування паливного блоку Катмай

  • ALAID – biofireplace with limited functionality.

    The most budget option. Alaid fuel unit is the answer to the cheap market of biofireplaces. It is made of high-quality steel, like all our products, in accordance with all safety-related requirements. By developing this product, we have shown that it is possible to get a quality product for relatively little money.

    What are the main advantages of PB Alaid over the cheap segment?

    First of all, these are steels used in the production of this product. Such steels are used in the production of more expensive models (2 mm body, 6 mm front panel, 8 mm flame arrester). For ease of operation, there is a flame extinguisher that allows you to extinguish the flame at any time. Displaced fuel refueling point. The inside is filled with special material. It has a rich flame, as well as a high quality finish.

    MARAPI is the first fully functional fuel unit.

    The main difference from PB Alaid – the presence of an ergonomic latch.

    The ergonomic latch allows you to adjust the height of the flame, change the heat output of the fireplace, and also adjust the consumption of bioethanol. Simply put, in the absence of this function, it is impossible to operate the bio fireplace normally in the summer and autumn-spring period, because the room will be very warm and it will be necessary to turn off the fireplace. If there is a latch, it is possible to lower the flame and continue its operation.

    KATMAY – fuel block with improved functionality.

    The main difference from PB Marapi:

    • The presence of a double ventilated case protects the structure from overheating. Working together with the ventilation holes on the front panel, it improves heat exchange and contributes to less intensive heating of the fuel block.

    • Reduced heating capacity.

    • Improved internal device – the flame burns evenly, calmly, less intensely.

    • It is recommended when the area of ​​the room is small.

    WASAT  fuel block with improved functionality.

    • In the production of PB, other types of steel (more expensive) are used.

    • A fundamental difference – a specially designed internal device for blocks over 1 m long, which minimizes metal deformation at the moment of maximum heating.

    • Technical characteristics are similar to PB Katmai.

      • materials in contact with or in the immediate vicinity of the fuel block must be non-combustible (brick, metal, plasterboard, all types of stone, tiles). In the case of painting a niche, attention should be paid to the increased requirements for heat resistance of the paint.

      • The surface on which or in which the fuel block will be installed must be made on the same level.

      • The niche under the firebox should be tight and airtight.

      • The minimum height of the niche is 400 mm (from the upper part of the PB to the top of the niche)

      • The interior of the niche should be made of fire-resistant material – pink plasterboard (manufacturers such as KNAUF, LAFARGE, VELMA), brick.

      • If a protective screen is installed over the furnace, it must be made of non-flammable materials, and the minimum distance of the screen from the flame chute must be 40 cm.

      • The fireplace must be installed in such a way as to ensure its easy removal for maintenance.

      • Glass in the fireplace must be tempered or fireproof is installed as desired. It has a decorative and protective function.

Lining the niche with wood from the inside is strictly prohibited.  

        • News on the domestic market of biofireplaces that have no analogues.

        • The main advantage is the special, designer appearance of the product.

        • The design feature of the block is such that it makes it possible to reproduce an orange saturated, interesting and playful flame.

        • Since the biofireplace is subject to minimal heating, it can be built into various surfaces.

        • After long-term use, it retains its appearance, shape, and color.

        • The upper part of the block can be painted black or covered with black heat-resistant glass.

        • Extinction takes place according to the “Slider” principle.

        • High-temperature steel is used in the manufacture of this product.

        • The block is sealed, double-walled, thermally insulated with a convenient filling hole for quick refueling.

        • The fireplace is equipped with two decorative heat-resistant glasses that are resistant to overheating and splitting.

        Дизайнерські біокаміни серії SLIDER

Built-in hearth – a metal case that protects the structure from direct fire. It has a designer appearance. It is built into a previously prepared niche made of plasterboard, stone, etc. Complete with an automatic or mechanical bio-fireplace, over transparent glass, as well as black painted glass upon request.

  • The all-metal heat-insulating product structurally resembles a “sandwich”.

  • The advantage is ease of installation and decorative appearance.

  • The design includes a metal frame to prevent deformation of the case, which is made of high-quality metal with a thickness of 1.5-3 mm.

  • A double-walled heat-insulating box reduces heat transfer to the protecting structure.

  • The side walls are insulated with non-combustible heat-resistant material.

  • The surface is covered with heat-resistant paint.

  • High-quality painting of the body (thorough preparation for painting, painting in several layers to give a rich, deep color). 

  • The hearth is equipped with decorative tempered glass of the Optiwhite series, super transparent, 6 mm thick with a Euro edge, which can be located both inside the case on vertical mounts and outside.

  • It is possible to attach tempered black-painted glass to the back or side walls for the entire height of the case. The reflection of the flame on the black glass visually creates the effect of three-dimensional burning.

  • The glass mount is a decorative turned product made of solid stainless steel.

It is possible to make a built-in hearth according to the dimensions of the customer, as well as to adapt it to the existing niche.

Standard body dimensions:

  • Frame length – from 600mm to 2400mm – all-metal; from 2410 to 4600 mm – consists of two parts.

  • Height – the minimum internal height of the case is 400mm, 450mm, 500mm, 550mm.

  • Depth – depends on the fuel unit with which the body is equipped. When equipped with Alaid Style biofireplace, the minimum depth of the housing is 220 mm; When equipped with a Marapi, Katmay, Vasat biofireplace – at least 330mm; If equipped with a Slider mechanical biofireplace or an automatic Dalex – 360mm.

 

The cost of the kit depends on:

  • body length (from 600 to 2300 mm),

  • type of fuel unit (one or more),

  • front frame (stainless steel, painted metal, or its absence),

  • presence or absence of decorative glass.

According to the agreed drawings, it is necessary to make a niche of fire-resistant materials. Since the product is all-metal, it is quite simple to insert it into a hole or niche and fasten it.

Our company’s engineers are preparing preliminary draft drawings. They contain the specification, overall dimensions of the product, dimensions of the niche and other structural elements for the installation of the structure.
