An open fire in any room
Original, versatile and eco-friendly, Blu Box fireplaces are easy to install, simple to operate and look great, too. Enjoy the beauty of an open fire in any room, in any home, with your very own Blu Box. Not only do Blu Box fireplaces present you with a beautiful lively flame, they radiate enough heat to keep you warm and cosy on a winter’s evening. These fireplaces do not need a chimney, flue or any type of vent. Denatured ethanol burns clean, there’s no smoke and no harmful emissions. Heat is retained in the room, providing more than 90 per cent fuel efficiency and the ability to heat the average living space. Blu Box fireplaces are available from The Fire Company Pty Ltd (EcoSmart).
Cosy up
There’s nothing like the warm glow of a real fire to take the chill off the coldest winter night and create a cosy indoor space. Now it’s possible to enjoy the ambience of a naked flame in any room in the home and even outdoors, with the latest VioFlame range of ultra-stylish designer fireplaces. “VioFlame has been designed for those who want an eye-catching fireplace that provides all the warmth and atmosphere of a naked flame without the hassle and mess associated with traditional fireplaces,” said Graham Brake, managing director of Black and Stone. Clean lines and the smooth finish of the design style combine with the ease and practicality of use. Five new models are available for 2010, to complement the existing range of six. They are beautifully presented in co-ordinated matt black and stainless steel and, new for this year, a gorgeous gloss white combined with a stylish glass fender to lend a super-sophisticated look. Choose from freestanding and wall-mounted varieties, indoor and outdoor models, and a variety of sizes to provide maximum flexibility in design style. Fuelled by ethanol, VioFlame is clean burning and provides a generous amount of heat instantly. “You can purchase a VioFlame from the store in the morning and enjoy the warmth and elegance of a naked flame in your favourite room that evening,” said Graham. Flueless and fully portable, the VioFlame is also a great choice for apartment dwellers and even rental tenants wanting the look and feel of a real fireplace without costly instalment charges. “VioFlame provides heat quickly and efficiently, creating a designer look for an affordable price, and you can take it with you should you move home,” said Graham. Available from leading appliance retailers, the Black and Stone VioFlame fireplace is priced between $649 and $1199.
