Across Australia and New Zealand, households are actively moving away from natural gas and searching for electric-connected real flame fireplace solutions that align with electrification, sustainability and modern architectural design. Decoflame is leading that transition.

Founded and manufactured in Denmark since 2008, Decoflame has become the worldwide leader in BEV (Burning Ethanol Vapour) fireplace technology — delivering true natural flame fireplaces with Net Zero emissions, no flue requirements, exceptional long burn times, and starting price points from $4,000+.

For homeowners, architects and builders seeking a genuine alternative to gas fireplaces, Decoflame offers a solution that is future-ready, design-led and now more accessible than ever.


What Is BEV (Burning Ethanol Vapour) Fireplace Technology?


BEV (Burning Ethanol Vapour) is an advanced fireplace technology that separates liquid bioethanol fuel from the combustion process. Instead of burning liquid fuel directly, the system converts fuel into vapour first — delivering:

  • A controlled, stable real flame
  • Clean combustion
  • No gas connection
  • No flue or chimney
  • Electrification-ready integration
  • Remote and smart home control


This makes Decoflame fireplaces ideal for modern Australian and New Zealand homes transitioning away from natural gas infrastructure.


Unlike a purely electric fireplace that simulates flame, Decoflame delivers an authentic natural flame experience — without the limitations of traditional gas systems.


Danish Innovation Since 2008 – Global Industry Leader


Since its founding in Denmark in 2008, Decoflame has been at the forefront of Net Zero emission fireplace innovation.

Designed and engineered in Europe, Decoflame fireplaces are specified by architects and designers worldwide for:


  • Luxury residential projects
  • Commercial developments
  • Hospitality environments
  • Multi-residential and apartment projects

With over 17 years of research and development in BEV fireplace systems, Decoflame is not a new entrant — it is a proven global category leader now expanding across Australia and New Zealand.

20.5 Hour Long Burn Times Starting from $4,000+


One of Decoflame’s key advantages is its exceptional burn duration.

Entry-level BEV models starting from the $4,000+ range can achieve up to 20.5 hours of continuous burn time — far exceeding many standard ethanol fireplace systems.


Higher capacity models offer even longer operation, with premium systems delivering extended burn cycles suitable for:


  • Open plan living areas
  • Architectural feature walls
  • Commercial and hospitality applications

This long burn performance, combined with real heat output, makes Decoflame one of the most efficient real flame bioethanol fireplaces available in Australia & NZ.
