Here he designed and manufactured the first Focus fireplace for his own use. He then repeated this essay for those who were fascinated by everything he designed. As he continued to design his works, an original line emerged and “Focus”, the world's most prestigious fireplace brand and one of France's 100 most valuable companies, was born.

All stainless steels can be easily cleaned by spraying a commercially available stainless steel cleaner spray on a soft damp cloth and wiping.

It is normal for stainless steel to fade over time with burning.

Does the fireplace heat the room it is in?

Ecosmart fireplaces are very efficient because they are flueless. There is no heat escape from the chimney, all the heat released as a result of combustion stays in the room. Please read the burner kit section for heating capacities and volumes.

What is a Chimney Fireplace?

What is bioethanol?

Bioethanol is pure alcohol, also known as methyl spirit.

Bioethanol or simply 'ethanol' is a renewable energy source obtained by fermenting the sugar and starch components of plant by-products. These are products such as sugar cane and wheat in general. It is also made from corn, potatoes, milk, rice, beets and recently grapes and bananas, and these depend on the agricultural power of the country in question.

Today, bioethanol has many uses: It is mixed with petroleum to create a sustainable transportation fuel, is used in cosmetics and other manufacturing processes, and is also used in clean-burning, beautifully-flamed fireplaces.
