Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are great for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room, without the expense of construction or gas supply. They are the most secure fireplace type that is available.

If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for your fire and adhere to all safety guidelines then your fireplace will operate safely.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fires are a fast and easy option for homeowners who want to make their living spaces more attractive or add a focal point to their home decor. You don't require a chimney and they don’t produce dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.

It doesn't matter if you choose 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 simple and doesn't require any expert assistance. It is all you have to do is sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and follow the directions of the model you pick.

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

You can also select between manual and automated bioethanol burning devices. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel away from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. A manual burner operates exactly the same way as a traditional fireplace, but you'll require matches or a lighter to light the flames.

When you choose a burner to use in your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is important to remember that the burner must be covered by non-combustible material to ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner properly, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those looking to create a striking feature in their home but don't have the money or time to set up a wood or gas fireplace. They are perfect for renovations and new homes in which chimney breasts were removed. And, because they don't produce soot or ash, there's no 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. Each model offers the same advantages, regardless of the style and ambiance without harmful gasses or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models on the contrary, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.

The fire itself comes from the burner pan, which is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan, and the fire is then lit with an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the flames are set, it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.

Some ethanol fireplaces even have adjustable temperature settings. This lets you customize the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which is beneficial if you wish to give you more warmth than just ambiance.

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent alternative for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gases or ash, which are dangerous to people suffering from respiratory ailments.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install in your home. Although the exact time for installation is dependent on the model you choose however, the majority of them can be installed fairly quickly. You can also choose a freestanding portable fireplace which you can take with you when you decide to move, making it a great choice to use as a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is an important aspect for many buyers and it's something to consider when choosing the perfect free standing electric fireplace.

No Flu

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

A bio ethanol fireplace also does not produce many particles that could harm the air quality, which is a great thing for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there isn't any smoke that is produced by the fire which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces generate an enormous amount of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This lets you keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about it burning which could be hazardous.

If you decide to go with a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can choose an elegant and contemporary look by installing it on the wall or opt for one that is recessed to fit in with the style of your room.

Another thing to consider is whether you want either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires that you light the fuel directly out of the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

When you've finished using your bioethanol fireplace it is essential to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the burner has cooled before refueling. Otherwise the ethanol will vaporize and you'll have to start all over again.

Most manufacturers recommend that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so you have enough time to properly extinguish the flames and ensure all materials that are flammable are kept away from the flame. To prevent accidents, keep any ethanol fuel that you have left away from pets and children.

Maintenance is easy

The bioethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it generates an ember and heat that can be adjusted using a slider (not all designs include this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is supplied to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

The soot that is produced from the combustion of fuel can be easily cleaned with a a soft, clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the fireplace full of the correct fuel and to ensure it's kept away from flammable materials or objects.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install 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 take pleasure in the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You can even opt for a freestanding model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and some models allow you to rotate the unit by 180 degrees, which allows you to the flame and heat to be directed into the desired part of the room. You can even put a remote control onto certain designs to take full control from the comfortable sofa.

Many wall mounted fireplace-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets to allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloping one. Installing the fireplace wherever you'd like is possible however, you'll still be able to utilize the remote control to turn it off and adjust the flame's height as well as set temperature.

If you're not using your ethanol burner, make sure that it is shut off and kept away from any flammable substances or equipment. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled to room temperature. Also, be careful when handling the burner as it will be very hot.
