Considerations for Using Biofires in a Conservatory with a Thatched Roof

Good airflow helps dissipate combustion byproducts and maintains a healthy indoor environment. To enhance ventilation, you can incorporate windows or vents in your conservatory design, allowing fresh air to circulate naturally.
  • Safe Placement: When installing a bioethanol fireplace in a conservatory with a thatched roof, safe placement is key. Keep the fireplace away from flammable materials, including the thatched roofing, furniture, or curtains. Following the manufacturer's instructions, position the fireplace at a safe distance from any potential fire hazards.
  • Regular Maintenance: This is important for the optimal performance and longevity of your bioethanol fireplace. Clean the fireplace and its components regularly, following the manufacturer's guidelines. Check for any signs of wear or damage, and address them promptly. By performing routine maintenance, you can ensure the safe and efficient operation of your fireplace.
