Advantages of a fake fireplace
Easy installation and maintenance
A fake fireplace is easy to install and does not require major renovations. In many cases you only have to plug the fireplace in and it is ready for use. This means that you do not need an expensive chimney installation or have to take smoke extraction into account. Moreover, maintenance is minimal. No ashes to clean up, no wood to store, and no chimney to sweep. This makes a fake fireplace both practical and cost-efficient.
What is a fake fireplace?
A fake fireplace, also called an electric fireplace or decorative fireplace, is a fireplace that is designed to imitate the look and atmosphere of a traditional fireplace without actually using real fire. These fireplaces often use technologies such as LED lighting to simulate realistic flames and glows. Some models also have a heating function, so they not only provide atmosphere, but also warmth.
Flexible in placement
One of the biggest advantages of fake fireplaces is the flexibility in design and placement. They are available in a wide range of styles, sizes and designs, so there is always a model that fits your interior perfectly. Whether you have a modern, minimalist look or a classic, rustic style, there is a fake fireplace that suits you. Plus, they can be placed virtually anywhere in your home, from the living room to the bedroom, without having to worry about chimneys or flues.
Types of fake fireplaces
There are several types of fake fireplaces available, each with their own unique features and benefits. Below we discuss the most popular options.
Electric fireplaces
Electric fireplaces are one of the most popular choices due to their ease of use and versatility. They create a realistic flame effect using LED lamps and can often also generate heat. Many electric fireplaces are equipped with a remote control, so you can easily adjust the settings without getting up from the couch.
Bioethanol fireplaces
Bioethanol fireplaces are an environmentally friendly alternative that produces real flames without smoke, ash or soot. They use bioethanol, a renewable fuel, and can be used without a chimney or ventilation.
Water vapor fireplaces
Opti-Myst fireplaces use ultrasonic technology to create a realistic flame and smoke effect with water vapor and LED light. This type of fireplace offers a very authentic experience without the disadvantages of a traditional fireplace

Frequently asked questions about a fake fireplace
Read below
Are decorative fireplaces more sustainable than a wood stove?
Yes, generally you save on gas costs and the maintenance of a gas fireplace. Electric or bio-ethanol is therefore a cheaper alternative.
What should I consider if I place an electric fireplace in a wood stove fireplace?
Make sure the flue is closed off. This is no longer necessary when installing a decorative fireplace.
Combustion of bioethanol mainly emits an odor when the bio-ethanol has not been properly filtered or has been produced from (too many) different raw materials. The alcohol percentage is also very important; the lower the alcohol percentage, the more odor will be noticeable. Bioethanol with a lower percentage of alcohol contains a larger percentage of additives, which results in less pure combustion.
No combustion is completely odorless. One person perceives more smell than another. The combination of bio ethanol and the evaporation from the absorbent ceramic stone in the burner ensures the purest possible combustion, releasing a barely noticeable odor.
If a bioethanol burner is extinguished with a ceramic stone, any odor will be somewhat stronger.
What should I take into account when installing a bio-ethanol fireplace in a wood-burning stove?
Make sure the flue is closed off. This is no longer necessary when installing a decorative fireplace.
