Why architects and interior designers may want to work with us

It is always easier said than done and I suppose everyone offering services around the building and interiors industry wants to become a trusted partner of architects. At BioFire we believe that we can add significant value to any building project for some key reasons.

First and foremost our product aims to provide a sensible and serious heating solution. Through the use of our unique flue passages built out of ceramic refractory bricks the heat is stored for many hours making it a serious contender to underfloor heating. The sensibility comes in the form of the highest efficiency levels of all wood burning fireplaces (88%) and the complete combustion due to the high burning temperatures. This means ash only has to be removed once at the end of the heating season.

Furthermore a BioFire is convenient to handle with one firing generally sufficing for a 24 hour period. As mentioned the ceramic structure stores the heat and then radiates it gradually for many hours to come after the fireplace’s flames are gone. It is possible to build structures covering two storeys or multiple rooms.

Besides architects and interior designers wanting to provide their clients with top solutions against the cold of winter, the design aspect remains ever so important. As a BioFire is uniquely engineered and then constructed on site, almost all designs are possible. We collaborate closely with your requirements and provide 3D drawings to match your presentation requirements.

It is of the highest importance to us that you feel comfortable to work with us. For this reason we are always willing to come to your offices or meet elsewhere in order to discuss the details of what and how we do it. Furthermore you are welcome to get in contact with as many existing BioFire customers as you wish, to find out about their experiences with our highly qualified building teams, the product and also the consultation process. We operate in the greater Johannesburg and Cape Town Areas and are confident that no other company can offer a product like ours when looking at heating ability, convenience, design and green living.
