Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can provide an inviting atmosphere to any room, without the need for costly construction work or gas supply. They are the most secure fire type available.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for the fire and you adhere to all safety guidelines, then your fireplace should operate in a safe manner.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fires are a simple and simple solution for homeowners looking to make their living spaces more attractive or create a focal point for their home decor. You don't require a chimney and they don’t create dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.

If you decide to go with a full fire suite - for example, Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 - or a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and requires no specialist help. All you need to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy and follow the instructions of the model you select.

The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted include the necessary hardware to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs and fit the brackets and extensions however it will not take more than one hour for professionals to do it.

You also have a choice of manual or automatic bio ethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. A manual burner works exactly the same way as a traditional fireplace, however you'll need to use matches or a lighter to light the flames.

It is important to keep in mind that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner properly, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those who want to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the budget or time to install a wood or gas fireplace. They are perfect for new construction and renovations in which chimney breasts were removed. And, because they don't produce soot or ash, there aren't any problems with maintenance also.

Designs and styles

There are a number of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have the traditional wood-burning appearance, while others feature modern and sleek designs. No matter what style the fireplaces all have the same benefits: real flame ambience without smoke or toxic gases.

Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models, on contrary, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They must also comply with certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.

The fire itself originates from a burner pan that is situated on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. The process takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full flame potential. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.

Certain ethanol fire places offer temperature settings that can be adjusted. This allows you to customize the amount of heat that your cheap fireplace produces, which is useful if you want to give you more warmth than just ambiance.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent alternative for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not generate gas or ash, which can be dangerous for people with respiratory problems.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install inside your home. Although the exact time for installation depends on the model you select the majority can be installed relatively quickly. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you in the event that you decide to move. This is a great option for living arrangements that are temporary. The ease of installation is an important factor for many people and it's something to consider when choosing a new fireplace.

No flu

The main advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need an exhaust pipe to run. This means that there is no chance of chimney fires which could result from a build-up of tar or an obstruction in the flue.

A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce numerous particles that could harm the air. This is beneficial for those suffering from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there is no smoke that is produced by the fire which means it doesn't produce a bad smell in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose heat up the chimney, so it produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture close to the flame without having to worry about catching a flame, which could be dangerous for any valuables.

There are a variety of designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted unit or choose a recessed version that will fit in with the style of your room.

Another thing to consider is whether you want an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires that you ignite the fuel from the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light your fire after the tank is completely empty.

It is crucial to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refueling. In the event that you don't, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start again.

Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to eliminate the flames and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any ethanol fuel that you have left away from the reach of pets and children.

Maintenance ease

The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it produces a flame and heat that can be controlled by an adjustable slider (not all designs feature this). By altering how much oxygen is supplied to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.

The soot created by the fuel burning can be easily cleaned with a an easy clean cloth. The only other requirement is to keep the fireplace full of the correct fuel and to ensure it's not in contact with items or materials that are flammable.

Another advantage of bio ethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere, without needing to worry about chimneys or building regulations. This allows you to be very flexible in the design of your home and also where you would like to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding fireplace that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees, allowing you to move the flame and heat to the desired location of your home. You can also mount an electronic remote control on some of the designs to have full control from the comfortable sofa.

Many of the bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets that allow them to be attached to an unfinished ceiling or a sloping one. The fireplace can be installed wherever you'd like is possible however, you can still use the remote control to turn it off, adjust flame height and set the temperature.

When you're not using the ethanol fireplace, make sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature and always be careful when handling the burner as it will be very hot.
