Vauni Scandinavian ethanol fireplaces
>> the fire in focus <<
Fire has been an important part of Scandinavian culture for thousands of years. In the northern climate its heat and light have been absolutely essential. Just as the hearth in olden times spread warmth and was a natural gathering-place, a flueless open fireplace from Vauni contributes the same features to the modern home. With flueless fireplaces, Vauni takes the fireplace into a new era. Our ambition is to unite tradition with contemporary needs. We strive for attention to the genuine and original, at the same time as we bring in up-to-date, energy-efficient technology. The products are developed with a focus on design, precise work and quality. In short, this means beautiful and robust flueless fireplaces that give the user joy and lasting value for many years.

>> fireplaces that are beautiful both with and without a fire burning << our design philisophy Designing a fireplace that paraphrases the profound tradition of wood-burning represents a great challenge. For in this process the fundamental nature of what fire brings about – warmth, harmony, joy – must never be overlooked. Vauni’s design philosophy emanates from the user’s emotional need for fire. Much care is devoted to making the products flexible and attractive for people with varying requirements, tastes and living situations. We design unique products that communicate with the user. All materials are carefully selected to harmonize with the value of fire and to express aesthetics, quality and warmth. Consequently, the fireplaces are beautiful, both with and without a fire burning.

Vauni fireplaces utilize modern firing technology. The supplied energy goes straight into the room as heat, instead of being lost through the chimney. Thus the efficiency is high and the user does not expend more energy than necessary. Denatured ethanol is biodegradable and a renewable energy source.
The same enjoyment & warmth but without any soot or ash Vauni fireplaces are powered by pure bioethanol. Unlike traditional fireplace constructions, no chimney is needed because the residue products of combustion are the same as in ordinary exhaled air – heat, water vapour and carbon dioxide. Vauni’s flueless fireplaces are easy to use and require only minimal installation, thus providing superior functionality. A flueless Vauni fireplace gives the same pleasant warmth and light as a wood-fired open hearth, but without any trouble, soot or ash.
Safety & quality As the owner of a Vauni product, you can be sure of the highest possible technical quality. Our products are designed with a focus on safety and are certified according to European norms. They are powered by the market’s most advanced and reliable ethanol burners, developed for optimal properties of operation. All materials are fire-resistant and carefully selected to harmonize with the value of fire and to express aesthetics, quality and warmth. All Vauni products are manufactured in Sweden which guarantees high product quality as well as ethical working conditions.

Vauni’s products are certified in accordance with the highest European standard by Swedcert – a certification agency accredited by Swedac (Swedish Board for Accreditation and Conformity Assessment), Sweden’s national accreditation agency.

vauni cupola Vauni Cupola is a wall-mounted chimney-free fireplace that clearly carries the Vauni identity. Its design is characterized by classic form in a modern version giving expression to traditional values. Perhaps the most characteristic feature is the unique profile which, combined with the lightweight aluminum body in black or white matt finish, makes an impressive yet slender wall-ornament. Cupola is as easily installed as a flat-screen TV. Hence, the possibilities of decorating with fire are endless. As with all Vauni fireplaces, the Cupola is equipped with an advanced, adjustable bioethanol burner that allows for vent-less, hassle-free firing. All in all, the Vauni Cupola is more than just a fireplace – it’s like a sculpture even when unlit.

3
Choose only nonflammable materials.
Let a professional or a person with good technical knowledge do the work.
Have a fire expert, such as a chimney-sweep, approve the installation before it is put in use.
* Examples of fireproof materials: stainless steel, minerite, bricks, tiles, cement, safety glass & stone 38
economy When it comes to economics, we are confident that a flueless product from Vauni is among the most cost-effective fireplace solutions on the market. The greatest saving is that no expensive chimney installation is needed. Thanks to energy-efficient technology, the operating cost is also advantageous in comparison to firing with gas or bought wood.
For those who have an open fireplace but want to avoid wood, soot and ash Vauni OF Wide is a bioethanol burner that can easily be placed in an existing open fireplce. It suits people who are tired of dirt, soot and ash that come from burning wood. If necessary, and without installation, an existing open fireplace can be converted to bioethanol operation. The new technologyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advantages are thus gained in a comfortable way.
