Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are ideal for bringing a cozy feel to any room without the need for expensive structure work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire you can find.

If you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically designed for your fireplace and adhere to the safety guidelines your fireplace will be very safe to operate.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fires are a quick and simple solution for homeowners who wish to make their living spaces more attractive or make a focal point of their home decor. You don't need chimneys and they don't create dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your walls or ceilings.

It doesn't matter if you choose an entire 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 easy and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you have to do is ensure that the ceiling or offer wall is sturdy enough and follow the directions for the specific model.

Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the hardware necessary to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It takes an experienced professional around an hour to put in the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.

You can also choose between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning equipment. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames so it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or running out. Manual burners work exactly like a fireplace, except that you'll require matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

It's important to remember that when selecting a bioethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will 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 tools sets.

Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home but don't have the funds or time to set up a wood or gas fireplace. They're a perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. And, because they don't produce soot or offer ash, there are no issues with maintenance also.

Styles and designs

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature a traditional wood-burning look, while others feature a sleek and modern design. Every type of fireplace has the same benefits, regardless of design and ambiance without toxic gases or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models, on contrary, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire itself comes from a burner pan that is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is lit you can relax and enjoy your home's warm atmosphere.

Some ethanol fire places even offer temperature settings that can be adjusted. This lets you customize the amount of heat that your fireplace produces, which is 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 older homes as well as modern homes that do not have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce gas or ash that could pose a risk for those with respiratory issues.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install inside your home. The time required to install will depend on the type of fireplace you choose. However, the majority of models can be installed quickly. You can choose an outdoor freestanding electric fireplace fireplace that can be carried with you when you decide to move. This is a great choice for temporary living arrangements. The ease of installation is a key factor for many people, and it is something that should not be overlooked when looking for the perfect fireplace.

No flu

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

A bio ethanol fireplace does not produce many particles that can harm the air, which is good news for people who suffer from allergies or asthma. The fire does not produce smoke, so it won't cause bad odor in the room.

Bio ethanol fireplaces produce lots of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture close 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 bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose an installation on the wall for a sleek, modern look or a recessed one that blends into the design of your space.

A burner that is either manual or automated is a second aspect to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automated one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

After you've used your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely go out and to wait until the burner has cooled before refueling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will vaporize and you'll need to start over.

Most manufacturers suggest that you wait at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire so you have enough time to safely put out the flames and ensure all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. To avoid any accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from pets and children.

Ease of maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it produces a flame and heat that can be adjusted using the slider (not all designs feature this). By changing the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns it produces tiny amounts of soot, but this can be 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 ensure that it is kept away from any dangerous materials or objects.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can put them almost anywhere, without having to worry about chimney regulations or building regulations. This allows you to be very flexible when designing your home and the location you wish to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing model that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated by 180 degrees so you can move the flame and heat to the desired space of your room. You can even mount an electronic remote control on certain designs to take full control from the couch.

To maximize versatility, a lot 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 place the fireplace wherever you want it while being capable of turning it off or on and adjust the flame's height, and adjust the temperature using 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 objects or materials. Don't pour any more fuel into the burner until the burner has reached room temperature. Be careful when handling it as it's extremely hot.
