Mechanical fuel blocks

Gloss Fire Mechanical Fuel Blocks

A mechanical fuel block is the heart of a biofireplace: it burns bioethanol and the flame is extinguished by hand. It needs no electricity, so it can be fitted into built-in, floor-standing and custom biofireplaces, portals and furniture, provided its size matches the project.

Slider glass

This category features the Slider glass fuel block. Its key feature is a slider-type movement and extinguishing system that makes the block easy to use every day. The block is made in lengths of 600, 700, 800, 900 and 1000 mm, with a warm yellow flame like a wood-burning fireplace.

How to choose

• Measure the space for the block: length, width and depth must match the casing or niche.
• Consider the room size and ventilation: block output should match the fresh air supply.
• If you want remote or smartphone control, see automatic biofireplaces.

FAQ

How is a mechanical block different from an automatic one? A mechanical block is lit and extinguished by hand and needs no electricity. An automatic one is controlled by a button, remote or smartphone and has safety sensors.

What fuel does it use? Liquid bioethanol for biofireplaces, available in the options section.
