Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any space without the expense of construction or gas supply. They are the safest kind of fire available.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fires are a quick and easy solution for homeowners who want to transform their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. You don't need a chimney and they don’t emit dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.

It doesn't matter if you choose the complete fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black from PS569 - or a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you have to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is sturdy enough and follow the guidelines for the model you have chosen.

Most ethanol fireplaces shop that are wall-mounted have the necessary hardware to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It takes a professional about an hour to install the brackets, extensions, and find the studs.

You can also choose between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning equipment. An automatic burner will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners function the same as fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters to light the flames.

It's important to remember that when selecting a bioethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could overheat and damage the fireplace.

The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful alternative for those looking to have an impressive feature to enhance their home, but don't have the time or budget to build wood or gas fireplaces. They are perfect for new or renovated homes in which chimney breasts were removed. They don't create soot or ash, so there are no maintenance concerns.

Styles and designs

There are a number of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport a traditional wood-burning look, while others feature modern and sleek designs. Whatever the design the fireplaces all have the same benefits: genuine flame ambience with no smoke or toxic gases.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and may require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire is created by a burner pan that is located in the middle of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is ignited using an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.

Certain ethanol fireplaces come with adjustable heating settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat that your fireplace produces.

Another benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them a great alternative for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place does not produce any ash or harmful gases, which can be dangerous for those with respiratory issues.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also simple. The time required to install will depend on the model you select. However, the majority of models can be installed fairly quickly. You can also opt for a portable fireplace which you can take with you when you decide to move, making it an ideal choice for a temporary home. The ease of installation is a key factor for many consumers, and it is something that should not be overlooked when looking for the perfect fireplace insert.

No Flu

The big benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need a flue in order to function. There is no danger of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or a blockage.

A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn't produce a lot of particles that could harm the air quality, which is great news for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another benefit is that there's no smoke generated by the fire which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.

Bio ethanol fireplaces produce an enormous amount of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the flame without having to worry about catching a flame, which could be dangerous for any valuables.

If you decide to go with a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace there are different designs to choose from. You can go for an elegant and contemporary look by installing it on the wall, or you can get a recessed version that will fit in with the style of your space.

Another thing to think about is whether you want a manual or an automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic one will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.

After you've used your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the fire is cool before refilling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start over.

The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to eliminate the flames and remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any remaining fuel with ethanol out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then lit. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled by a slider. (Not all models have this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can change the speed at which fuel burns and how high the flame burns.

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

Another advantage of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere, without having to worry about chimneys or building regulations. This allows you to be very flexible in the design of your home and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt to have a free-standing fireplace that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install, and certain models let you rotate the unit 180 degrees, allowing you the flame and heat to be directed into the desired part of the room. You can even mount remote controls on certain models to control the entire thing from the comfortable sofa.

To maximize versatility, a lot of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces have brackets that allow you to connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you like it while being in a position to turn the flame off or on and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

If you're not using your ethanol fireplace, be sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Don't try to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Always be careful when handling the burner as it is very hot.
