A BioFire is the perfect home fire for those cold winter nights

BioFire - The Perfect Home Fire

A BioFire fireplace gives you instant heat

Soon after lighting the fire, the large glass door provides intense heat rays, creating the perfect home fire and atmosphere to stay cosy in the evenings.

A BioFire fireplace gives you long lasting heat

A BioFire will provide a continuous heat output for 12-24 hours. This is achieved through the great heat retaining mass consisting of patented ceramic refractory bricks. Practical use has shown that firing it once a day is sufficient for the greatest part of the heating season in South Africa. You can enjoy the ambient atmosphere provided by the burning fire in the evening and the next morning your living area is still comfortably warm.

A Biofire – The Most Efficient fireplace in Johannesburg

BioFire fireplaces are ahead of the times and already far undercut the strict limits for fine dust emissions that come into effect in Europe in 2014. This “green effect” is achieved through the extremely efficient burning process that ensures that up to 88% of the energy produced by a BioFire fireplace is used to heat your room.

Circluation of Wood

Wood combustion in a BioFire fireplace only releases the same amount of CO2 as wood that decomposes in a natural way. This not only makes the burning of wood cleaner, but also insures that you stay independent of energy sources such as oil and gas and therefore improve your Carbon Footprint and help to keep your home or business “green friendly”.
