More option fireplace options in 2008

German stainless steel products from Blomus were very popular in 2007 and now a number of stylish entries in the segment are available this year. This model from Planika is a floor standing fireplace encased in to large tempered glass plates. the clean minimalist design is striking and the benefit of ethanol is the elimination of a chimney/flue which limits your interior design due to the architecture constraints of a traditional fireplace. This model is available in white or black and stands approximately 47” x 28” x 17” - pricing is approximately $3500 US.
