1. Embrace Ventless Fireplaces for Design-Forward Warmth

Ventless fireplaces, such as our Flex Fireplace Series, have redefined what’s possible in architectural design. Free from the constraints of chimneys or gas connections, these fireplaces offer complete design freedom, allowing you to create stunning fire features anywhere, whether as a sleek wall installation or a sculptural centrepiece.

Whether you opt for a dramatic double-sided fire to connect your spaces or a minimalist burner tucked into a custom nook, EcoSmart’s ventless fireplace collection offers architectural elegance and lasting impact.

Why it works:

  • Simplified installation: No venting, gas, or electrical connections required - ideal for apartments, renovations, and heritage retrofits.
  • Design flexibility: Integrates seamlessly into cabinetry, joinery, open-plan and even closed-plan spaces, supporting both minimalist and statement aesthetics.

  • Cleaner burn: Bioethanol fuel emits no smoke, soot, or ash, resulting in a clean and healthy indoor environment.

2. Heat Where You Need It, When You Want It

Modern homes prioritise intentional comfort, warming only the zones that are occupied when they’re in use. This approach not only enhances energy efficiency but also aligns with contemporary lifestyles. That’s where our freestanding and portable fireplaces shine.

Why it works:

  • Targeted warmth: Effortlessly warm the spaces that matter most with our portable fire pits and designer freestanding fireplaces, perfect for everything from statement-making lounges to secluded indoor corners.

  • Move it, style it, love it: With no need for installation, these ethanol fireplaces can be moved between indoor and outdoor zones or styled as a bold design statement. Great for seasonal entertaining or layout flexibility.

  • No fixed connections: With no flue, gas line, or electricity required, EcoSmart Fires offer complete design flexibility, perfect for retrofits, apartments, and off-grid living.

  • Global compliance: Certified for safety and performance across key international standards, including EN 16647 (Europe/UK), UL 1370 (USA/Canada), and ACCC Safety Mandate (Australia/NZ)

    Whether you’re creating ambience for a dinner party or quiet warmth for a morning coffee, ethanol fireplaces from EcoSmart Fire provide comfort on demand, exactly where you need it. It’s heat that moves with you, and looks good doing it.

3. Expand Your Outdoor Living with Fire Features and Radiant Heaters

Outdoor living isn’t just a seasonal luxury, it’s a year-round lifestyle. With the right fire features, your exterior spaces can offer the same comfort, atmosphere, and design-forward aesthetic as your interiors.

Elevate your exterior with:

  • Fire Tables and Fire Pits: These simple, elegant designs not only provide warmth but also serve as natural gathering points for friends and family, adding a touch of sophistication to your outdoor space.

  • Infrared radiant heaters: Mounted discreetly on walls or ceilings, HEATSCOPE heaters offer consistent warmth without removing your space's overall design, ideal for outdoor areas that need more subtle heating.

  • Eco-conscious solutions: Whether you opt for electric or bioethanol, both fuel options help reduce environmental impact while maintaining a stylish, functional outdoor heating solution.

    With EcoSmart’s range, you can enjoy the comforts of home beyond your four walls, making outdoor spaces as comfortable and welcoming as indoor ones, whatever the season.

4. Prioritise Sustainability Without Compromising Style

More than ever, design-conscious homeowners are prioritising heating solutions that align with sustainability goals, without compromising design intent.


Bioethanol fireplaces deliver on both fronts:

  • Powered by renewable energy: EcoSmart Fires run on e-NRG bioethanol, a clean-burning, plant-based fuel

  • No utility connections required: Operates completely independent of connections for total design freedom

  • Flue-free operation: 100% of the heat stays in the room, with zero heat loss through a chimney

    From net-zero builds to inner-city apartments, EcoSmart’s ventless fireplaces offer a smart, sustainable solution for projects that value both efficiency and aesthetic integrity. No smoke, no soot, just a clean-burning, sophisticated solution that fits the future of design-conscious living.

Final Word: Heat That Reflects Your Home’s Purpose
