Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are the safest fireplace type that is available.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for your fireplace and you adhere to all safety guidelines then your fireplace will perform safely.

Installation is easy

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

If you decide to go with a full fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, from 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 doesn't require any expert assistance. You only need to make sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy and adhere to the instructions of the model you pick.

Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted have the necessary hardware to mount them either like flat screen TVs 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 select between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning devices. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames so it can burn for longer without the danger of overheating or running out. A manual burner works exactly the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it's worth remembering that the burner must be covered by non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes in 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 fireplaces are a great alternative for those who want to create a striking feature in their home but don't have the funds or time to set up gas or wood fireplaces. They are great for renovations and new homes where chimney breasts were removed. Since they do not produce soot or ash, there's no problems with maintenance, either.

Designs and styles

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in a variety of styles and designs. Some are more traditional in their wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. Whatever the design the fireplaces all have the same benefits: real flames with no fumes or harmful gases.

Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and may require special mounting gear. They also must meet certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.

The fire itself is created by a burner pan located on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is then lit with a long-lasting lighter. The process takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full potential for flame. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.

Certain fireplaces with ethanol come with adjustable temperature settings. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which can be beneficial if you wish to provide more warmth than simply ambience.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for older homes as well as newer homes without chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fireplace does not emit harmful gases or ash, which are dangerous to people with respiratory conditions.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. While the exact installation time will depend on the model you choose however, the majority of them are installed in a short time. You can also choose a portable fireplace that you can carry with you in the event of a relocate, making it a good choice for a temporary home. The ease of installation is an important factor for many consumers and is something to consider when shopping for the perfect fireplace.

No flue

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

A bio-ethanol fireplace also does not produce many particles that can harm the air, which is great news for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. The fire doesn't produce smoke, which means it doesn't create a unpleasant odor in the room.

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat to the chimney, and therefore can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This lets you keep your furniture near the fire without having to worry about it getting caught on fire, which could be dangerous.

If you decide to go with a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can choose an installation on the wall for a sleek, modern look or a recessed one which will blend in with the style of your home.

Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.

It is essential to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refueling. Otherwise the ethanol will vaporize and you'll have to start over.

The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you time to safely remove the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the ethonal fire. In addition, it's best to store any remaining fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be controlled by a slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is supplied to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns, it creates tiny amounts of soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance is to keep the burner filled with the correct fuel and ensure that it is kept away from any dangerous materials or objects.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install and you don't need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a lot of flexibility in designing your home, and also where you would like to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even choose an open-air model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to set up and some models allow you to rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the flame and heat to the desired area of the room. You can even mount remote controls on some of the models to control the entire thing from the comfort of your sofa.

For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall fires-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that permit you to attach them to a flat or sloping ceiling. Installing the fireplace wherever you'd like is possible however, you'll still be able to utilize the remote control to turn it off or adjust the flame's height and adjust the temperature.

When you're not using the ethanol fireplace, make sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable items or materials. Also, don't add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Also, be cautious when handling the burner since it is very hot.
