Built-in Bioethanol Fireplaces
Installing built-in bioethanol fireplaces is the most complex but doesn't require special certification, which means you can do it yourself.
The installation process can vary depending on the different models and manufacturers, so it is important that you check the installation manual for each specific fireplace.
Generally, the process of adding a bio ethanol fire to a wall, is to build a stud wall with a cut-out for the fireplace frame, slot the ethanol fire in, and finish the edges around the fireplace.
