Until a few years ago, our range consisted of fire tables, built-in burners and patio heaters on gas, electric patio heaters, wood patio heaters and mobile indoor gas heaters.
Bio-ethanol burners are becoming increasingly popular. Over the past year, Terras & Co has researched the possibilities, created designs and prototypes of burners and fireplaces. We now offer a wide range of burners and fireplaces.
The rise of ethanol fireplaces is not only due to the affordable price of the fuel and the fireplaces, but also because more and more people find it important to choose a renewable, green fuel.
In this blog we explain what bio-ethanol is, what the benefits are and what types of bio-ethanol fireplaces are now available.
Bio-ethanol is alcohol obtained from the fermentation of plant material. This can be organic waste or specially grown crops such as sugar cane or corn.
There are many advantages to using this fuel. Bio-ethanol is important in the energy transition because it is not fossil, but renewable. This makes it a climate-friendly choice. The combustion is also very clean: no harmful substances are released, so a bio-ethanol burner can be used indoors without a chimney or expensive safety features. The design of the burner can therefore be simple, which reduce the price and the risks of malfunctions or defects. The burner is basically a stainless steel container with a burning chamber and a fuel compartment under it.
The cost of the fuel itself is also low and the flames are a beautiful orange-yellow.
We would like to introduce you to our new bio-ethanol products!
