Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are excellent to add a warm feel to any room, without the need for costly structural work 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 fire and you adhere to all safety guidelines, then your fireplace should perform in a safe manner.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick option for homeowners looking to make their living space more attractive or add a focal point to their home decor. They don't require a flue and they don't produce dangerous smoke and you don't have to worry about the build up of soot on your ceilings or walls.

Installation is simple and doesn't require any assistance from a professional. It is all you have to do is sure that your wall or ceiling is sturdy and follow the instructions of the model you choose.

Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted include the necessary hardware to install them as a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to put in the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.

There is also the option of automatic or manual bioethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, so that it can burn for longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. A manual burner operates similarly to a traditional fireplace, but you'll need matches or a lighter to light the flames.

When choosing a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it's important to keep in mind that the burner must be covered by non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could overheat and damage the fireplace.

The ethanol fire is a great option for those looking for an impressive feature to bring to their home but do not have the money or time to build wood or gas fireplaces. They're an excellent option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. And, because they do not generate soot or ash, there aren't any problems with maintenance also.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature a traditional wood-burning look, while others feature a sleek and modern design. Regardless of the style, each type offers the same benefits: genuine flames with no gas or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.

The fire itself comes from a burner pan that is situated on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the flames have been established, it's time to relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

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

A further benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for older homes as well as modern homes that do not have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fireplace does not emit harmful gases or ash, which can be dangerous for people suffering from respiratory ailments.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also simple. The exact installation time will depend on the type of fireplace you select. However, most models can be installed fairly quickly. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace which can be taken with you if ever you relocate. This is a great option for living arrangements that are temporary. It is crucial to think about the installation ease when buying a fireplace.

No flu

The major advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need an exhaust pipe to run. As a result, there is no risk of chimney fires that can result from the accumulation 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 people with asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there's no smoke that is produced by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause an unpleasant smell in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose much heat through the chimney, which means it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture near the fire without worrying about catching fire, which could be dangerous for any valuables.

If you decide to go with a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs you can choose from. You can choose a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted unit or choose an recessed model that will fit in with the style of your room.

Another thing to think about is whether you'd prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automated one will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.

After you've used your bioethanol fireplace it is important to let the flames completely go out and wait until the burner is cool before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol could evaporate and you'll have to start again.

Most manufacturers suggest that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so you have enough time to properly extinguish the flames and ensure that all flammable materials are away from the flame. In addition, it's best to store any leftover fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from occurring.

Easy maintenance

The bio ethanol fuel is put into the burner and then lit. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled with the slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is fed to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.

When the fuel is burned, it creates some soot. However, place this is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance required is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and ensuring it is kept away from any flammable objects or equipment.

Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere, without having to worry about chimneys or building regulations. This gives you a lot of flexibility when designing your home and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace shop. You can even choose a freestanding model that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated 180 degrees so you can move the flame and heat to the desired location of your living space. Some models come with a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from your couch.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that permit you to connect them to a flat or sloping ceiling. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you like it and still be in a position to turn it on or off and adjust the flame's height, and adjust the temperature using the remote control.

When you're not using your ethanol fireplace, be sure to shut it off and keep it away from any flammable items or materials. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Always be careful when handling the burner as it is very hot.
