Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are great for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire that is available.

If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for your fireplace and adhere to all safety rules, then your fireplace should operate safely.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fires are a simple and easy option for homeowners who want to make their living spaces more attractive or make a focal point of their home decor. They don't require a flue and don't create dangerous smoke which means you don't need to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your walls or ceilings.

If you decide to go with an entire fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, from PS569 or an independent 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 have to do is ensure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy enough and follow the guidelines for the specific model.

The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the necessary hardware to mount them either like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It takes a professional about an hour to put in 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 away from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners work exactly like a fireplace, except that you'll need matches or lighters to light the flames.

It's important to remember when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those looking to create a dramatic focal point in their home but don't have the budget or time to install gas or wood fireplaces. They are perfect for new construction and renovations in which chimney breasts were removed. They don't create soot or ash, so there's no maintenance issues.

Designs and styles

Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Some are more traditional in their fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to look modern and sleek. Each model offers the same advantages, regardless of design: a real flame ambience without toxic fumes or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and require specialized mounting gear. They also have to meet certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire is started by a burner pan that is located in the middle of the electric fireplace. Fuel is poured into the 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 relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Certain ethanol fire places have heating settings that can be adjusted. This lets you adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.

A further benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for older homes as well as newer homes without chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place does not generate ash or harmful gases, which can be dangerous for people with respiratory problems.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also simple. While the exact time to install will depend on the model you select the majority can be installed fairly quickly. You can pick an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be transported with you when you relocate. This is a great option for living arrangements that are temporary. The ease of installation is an important factor for many consumers, and it is something that should not be overlooked when looking for an upgrade to your fireplace suites.

No flue

The biggest advantage of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they do not require a chimney for operation. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or blockage.

A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn't produce a lot of particles that could harm the air, which is great news for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there is no smoke produced by the fireplace which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.

bioethanol fire fireplaces produce a large amount of heat compared to wood-burning fires. This means you can keep your furniture near the fire without worrying about catching fire which could be dangerous for any valuables.

There are a variety of designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for an elegant and contemporary look with a wall-mounted unit, or you can get one that is recessed to blend in with the design of your space.

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

When you're done using your bio ethanol fireplace, it is important to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. If you don't do this, the ethanol could evaporate and you'll need to start from scratch.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so that you have enough time to safely remove the flames, and make sure that all flammable materials are away from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any remaining fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from occurring.

Easy maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be controlled with an adjustable slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering how much oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can alter how fast the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns it releases tiny amounts of soot, which is easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is keeping the burner full of the correct fuel and ensuring that it is kept away from any flammable items or equipment.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere, without needing to worry about building regulations or chimneys. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home and also where you can enjoy the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding fireplace that is portable.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fire fireplaces are easy to install and some models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, which allows you to direct the flame and heat into the desired part of the room. You can even put an electronic remote control on some of the designs to have full control from the couch.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that let you connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. The fireplace can be installed wherever you'd like is possible however, you can still use the remote control to shut it off or adjust the flame's height and set temperature.

If you're not using your ethanol fireplace, be sure to shut it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner is at room temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it is extremely hot.
