Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can bring warmth to any space without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are also the safest type of fire available.

If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for the fire, and adhere to all safety rules the fireplace will perform safely.

Ease of installation

Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick option for homeowners looking to revamp their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. There is no need for a chimney and they don’t produce dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your ceilings or walls.

It doesn't matter if you choose a full fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, from PS569 - or an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you have to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is sturdy enough and follow the guidelines for the model you have chosen.

If you choose an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall they are usually equipped with the fittings that allow them to be hung like a flat-screen TV, or installed into the wall. It will take a professional about an hour to mount the brackets, extensions, and find the studs.

There is also the option of manual or automated bio ethanol burners. The automatic burner keeps the fuel from the flames so it can burn longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. Manual burners work the same as fireplaces, but you'll need matches or lighters to light the flames.

It's important to remember when selecting a bioethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful option for those looking for a dramatic feature to enhance their home but don't have the time or money to install a gas or wood fireplace. They're an excellent option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they don't produce soot or ash, there are no problems with maintenance, either.

Designs and styles

There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have an old-fashioned wood-burning style, while others feature a sleek and modern design. Whatever the design, each type offers the same benefits: real flames with no gas or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and may require special mounting gear. They also have to meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.

The fire itself comes from a burner pan situated at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit with a long-lasting lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the flames have been established, it's time to relax, fireplacesandstoves sit back and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Some ethanol fire places even provide temperature settings that can be adjusted. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which can be beneficial if you wish to create more warmth rather than just ambience.

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them a great option for older homes as well as newer homes without chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place does not produce any toxic gases or ash, which can be dangerous for those with respiratory issues.

Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install in your home. Although the exact time for installation will depend on the model you choose the majority can be installed fairly quickly. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace which can be taken with you when you decide to move. This is a great option for living arrangements that are temporary. The ease of installation is an important factor for many people and is something that should not be overlooked when shopping for an upgrade to your fireplace.

No flu

The big benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require a flue to operate. There is no chance of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or a blockage.

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

Unlike 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 lets you keep your furniture close to the flame without having to worry about it getting caught on fire and causing danger.

If you opt for a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can select an installation on the wall for a sleek, modern look or a recessed model that blends into the style of your home.

A manual or automatic burner is another thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic burner will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

When you've finished using your bio ethanol fireplace, it is important to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the burner is cool before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll need to start over.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have enough time to remove the flames, and make sure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any ethanol fuel that you have left away from pets and children.

Easy maintenance

The bio ethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using an adjustable slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can adjust how quickly the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.

The soot created by the burning of fuel can be easily removed with an easy, clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the fireplace is full of the correct fuel and ensuring it is not too far from any fire-prone objects or other equipment.

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 enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding fireplace that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to set up and some models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the flame and heat to the desired area of the room. Certain models come with remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces come with brackets that allow you to attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. The fireplace can be installed wherever you want is possible, however, you'll still be able to use the remote control to turn off the fireplace, adjust flame height and set temperature.

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