Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are great to add a warm feel to any room without the expense of structure work or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.

As long as you only make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically formulated for your fire and you follow the safety guidelines your fireplace will be very safe to operate.

Installation is easy

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. They do not require a flue, and they don't produce dangerous smoke, so you don't have to worry about the build-up of soot on your ceilings or walls.

It doesn't matter if you choose an entire fire suite - such as 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 requires no specialist help. All you need to do is make sure that your wall or ceiling is sturdy and follow the directions of the model you pick.

If you decide to install a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace they are usually equipped with the hardware that allows them to be mounted as a flat-screen television or recessed into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions, but it shouldn't take more than an hour for professionals to do it.

You can also choose of manual or automatic bio ethanol burners. The automatic burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames, so that it can burn longer without the danger of overheating or running out of. Manual burners function exactly like a fireplace, except that you'll need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

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

The ethanol fire is a great alternative for those looking to have an impressive feature to add to their home but don't have the time or budget to set up an electric or gas fireplace. They are great for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts were removed. Since they do not generate soot or ash, there aren't any problems with maintenance or worry about.

Designs and styles

There are many different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces come in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have a traditional wood-burning look and others sport modern and sleek design. Every type of fireplace comes with the same advantages regardless of the style: a real flame ambience without harmful gasses or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around a space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and may require special mounting gear. They must also meet certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

The ethonal fire itself originates from the burner pan, which is situated on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full flame potential. Once the fire is lit you can sit back and relax in the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.

Some ethanol ethonal fire places even offer heating settings that can be altered. This lets you customize the amount of heat your fire produces, which can be beneficial if you wish to give you more warmth than just ambiance.

Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for new homes or older homes without traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gases or ash that are dangerous to people who suffer from respiratory issues.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install in your home. The exact installation time will depend on the model you choose. However, most models can be installed fairly quickly. You can also choose a freestanding portable fireplace that you can take with you when you decide to relocate, which makes it a great option for a temporary home. The ease of installation is an important factor for many consumers, and it is something that should not be overlooked when looking for the perfect fireplace.

No Flu

The major advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need a flue to operate. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or blockage.

A bio ethanol fireplace doesn't produce a lot of particles that could harm the air quality, which is good news for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, so it does not create a bad odor in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose much heat to the chimney, and therefore can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. 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 your valuables.

There are a variety of designs available for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose one that is wall-mounted for modern, sleek design or a recessed one that blends into the design of your room.

Another thing to consider 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 automated one will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.

It is important that you let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refueling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start over.

Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to safely eliminate the flames and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. To avoid any accidents, store any ethanol fuel that you have left away from pets and children.

Maintenance ease

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be controlled with an adjustable slider (not all designs feature this). By altering the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can change the speed at which the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns it produces a small amount of soot, which is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance is to ensure that the burner is topped up with the right fuel and to ensure it is kept away from any dangerous materials or objects.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere without needing to worry about chimney regulations or building regulations. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility in the design of your home and also where you can take pleasure in the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees so you can direct the flame and heat to the desired location of your room. You can even put remote controls on certain models to control the entire thing from the comfort of your sofa.

For maximum versatility, many of the plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces have brackets that allow you to connect them to a flat or sloping ceiling. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you want it and still be able to turn the flame off or on and alter the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

When you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable items or materials. Don't pour any more fuel into the burner until it has reached the temperature of room temperature. Be careful when handling it as it is very hot.
