Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can bring an inviting atmosphere to any space without the need for expensive structure work or gas supply. They are the safest fire type available.

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

Installation is simple

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

It doesn't matter if you choose the complete 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 is able to 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 need to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the directions for the model you have chosen.

The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted include the hardware necessary to mount them either like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It takes an experienced professional around an hour to install the brackets, extensions and find the studs.

You can also choose of manual or automated bio ethanol burners. The automated burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so that it can burn longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. A manual burner works similarly to a traditional fireplace, however you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.

When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those looking to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the money or time to build gas or wood fireplaces. They're an excellent choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They also do not generate soot or ash, there aren't any problems with maintenance or worry about.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport a traditional wood-burning look and others sport modern and sleek design. Every type of fireplace offers the same advantages, regardless of the style that is a genuine flame atmosphere without toxic gases or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and require specialized mounting gear. They also have to meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.

The fire is created by a burner pan located in the middle of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is lit with a long-lasting lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is lit you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.

Certain ethanol fireplaces have adjustable temperature settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat the fireplace produces.

Another 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 or newer homes without chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce ash or harmful gases, which can be dangerous for those with respiratory issues.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install inside your home. Although the exact time for installation will depend on the model you select, most are installed in a short time. You can even choose a portable fireplace that you can take with you if you ever relocate, which makes it a great option for a temporary living arrangement. It is important to consider the installation ease when buying an electric fireplace.

No Flu

The main advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need an exhaust pipe to run. In the end, there's no chance of chimney fires which could result from the accumulation of tar or an obstruction in the flue.

A bio-ethanol fireplace also does not produce many particulates that can damage the air quality, which is a great thing for those suffering from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there is no smoke produced by the fireplace and therefore it doesn't create an unpleasant smell in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bioethanol fire fires don't lose a lot of heat through the chimney, so it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture near the flame without having to worry about it catching on fire and causing danger.

If you opt for a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can choose an installation on the wall for modern, sleek design or a recessed one that will blend into the design of your space.

A manual or automatic burner is a different thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel from the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.

When you're done using your Bioethanol Fire fireplace suites it is important to let the flames burn out completely and to wait until the fireplace has cooled before refueling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you will have to start over.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you wait at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so you have enough time to extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable materials are away from the flame. To avoid accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol out of reach of pets and children.

Maintenance is easy

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be adjusted using the slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering how much oxygen is fed to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns it produces tiny amounts of soot, but this is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance is to keep the burner full of the correct fuel and to ensure it's not in contact with dangerous materials or objects.

Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and you don't need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you great flexibility when designing your home and where you want to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt for a freestanding model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the flame and heat to the desired location of your room. Certain models come with remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from your couch.

A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets to allow them to be affixed to a flat ceiling or sloping one. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you like it and still be capable of turning it on or off and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature using the remote control.

If you're not using your ethanol fireplace, make sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Also, don't attempt to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature and always be cautious when handling the fire as it is extremely hot.
