IGNIS® Safety
The History:
It was in the 1900s when fireplaces became known as architectural elements in the home. Quite popular during the time, “fireside chats” by the US President helped to change the overall mindset that a fireplace was only used as an appliance – a heater for the home. These chats illustrated the aesthetic quality of fireplaces and connected the warmth of conversation, visual pleasantries of dancing flames, and their value in design.
It was in 2011 when IGNIS® started contemplating fireplace technology. First, we studied how logs burned in a wood-burning hearth. How the odoriferous smoke permeated the space and what it did to the planet. How masonry chimneys crumbled with time and cost a small fortune to repair. How inconvenient chopping, drying, stacking, and storing wood was.
Then we turned our attention to the gas fireplace. We watched the quality of the flame and the convenience of operation. We studied the cost of operating a gas fireplace. We investigated the cost and danger of gas lines running underground into the home.
After this contemplation of the traditional fireplace, we went to work. We curated an offering of ventless, ethanol-burning fireplaces and brought them to market. A range that included tabletop fireplaces, wall-mounted fireplaces, recessed fireplaces freestanding fireplaces, fireplace grates, and ethanol fireplace burner inserts – all manually operated. Our offering was a hit! IGNIS® products were being shipped globally and our ethanol inserts were being specified by interior designers, custom home builders, architects, and general contractors.
Since its inception, our company has been guided by a set of values from which we refuse to depart. One of these values is to innovate. To continue learning and contemplating fire. Continue finding ways that folks like us (and you) can enjoy the inherent beauty of fire yet control the inherent dangers its flames present.
In 2015, we introduced the IGNIS® Smart Ethanol Burner Range. A series of ventless ethanol fireplace inserts that used electricity and state-of-the-art technology to deliver its clean-burning flames. Made available in lengths of 18″ to 72″ (and offered as custom pieces in any length up to 144″), these remote-controlled fireplace inserts were greeted by those in the trade with great acclaim. This range of fireplace solutions offered more convenience and the highest level of safety available. (Also read our article: Six Designs Using A Bio Ethanol Fireplace Insert!)
So, here is the nitty-gritty on the IGNIS® Smart Ethanol Burner Range:
