Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

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

As long as you make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fire and you follow the safety instructions, your fireplace should be safe to operate.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick option for homeowners looking to transform their living area or add a focal piece to their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they won't produce dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.

If you decide to go with a full 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 easy and requires no specialist help. All you need to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy and follow the directions for the model you pick.

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

You also have a choice of manual or automatic bioethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners function exactly like fireplaces, but 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 must be covered with non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could become too hot and damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to install gas or wood fireplaces. They're a perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce soot or ash, so there's no maintenance issues.

Designs and styles

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

Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mount electric fireplace mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and may require specialized mounting gear. They also have to meet certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

The fire is made by a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is ignited using a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Certain ethanol fire places offer temperature settings that can be adjusted. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which is useful if you want to create more warmth rather than simply ambience.

Another benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for new homes or older homes that do not have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not produce any gas or ash, which can be dangerous for those suffering from respiratory issues.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install within your home. While the exact installation time depends on the model you select, most can be installed fairly quickly. You can also opt for an open-air fireplace which you can take with you when you decide to relocate, which makes it an ideal option to use as a temporary living arrangement. It is crucial to think about the ease of installation when you purchase a fireplace.

No flu

The big advantage that 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 caused by tar buildup or a blockage.

A bio ethanol fireplace doesn't produce a lot of particles that can harm the air, which is good news for those suffering from allergies or asthma. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, therefore it doesn't create a unpleasant odor in the room.

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose heat up the chimney, which means it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture close to the fire without having to worry about catching a flame, which could be dangerous for any valuables.

If you opt for a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace there are different designs to choose from. You can choose an elegant and contemporary look with a wall-mounted unit, or you can get a recessed version that will blend into the style of your space.

A manual or automatic burner is a second aspect to consider. A manual burner requires that you light the fuel directly out of the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light the fire after the tank is completely empty.

It is crucial to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refueling. If you don't, the ethanol could evaporate and you will have to start from scratch.

Most manufacturers recommend that you allow at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have enough time to safely put out the flames and ensure that all flammable materials are away from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol out of reach of pets and children.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is put into the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it creates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled with an adjustable slider (not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can alter the speed at which the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns it releases tiny amounts of soot, which can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the burner is full of the correct fuel and to ensure it's kept away from items or materials that are flammable.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to set up and you don't need to worry about chimneys or building codes. This provides you with a large amount of flexibility when it comes to the design of your home and also where you can experience the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can even choose an open-air model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to install, and certain models let you rotate the unit 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the heat and flame towards the desired location of the room. You can even mount remote controls on some designs to have full control from the couch.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow you to attach them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you like it while being capable of turning the flame off or on and alter the flame's height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.

If you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable items or materials. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature and always be cautious when handling the burner since it is extremely hot.
