Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can give warmth to any room without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are the safest fireplace type that is available.

As long as you only utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically designed for your fireplace and adhere to the safety guidelines, your fireplace should be safe to operate.

Ease of installation

Ethanol fireplaces electric are a simple and quick solution for homeowners looking to transform their living area or to add a focal point to their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they don't produce dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your ceilings or walls.

Whether you opt for a full fire suite - for example, 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 doesn't require any expert assistance. You only need to make sure that your wall or ceiling is strong and follow the instructions of the model you pick.

If you decide to install an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall they are usually equipped with the fittings that allow them to be mounted as a flat-screen television or recessed into the wall. It will take an experienced professional around an hour to mount the brackets, extensions and find the studs.

There is also the option of manual or automatic bioethanol burners. The automated burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so that it can burn for longer without the risk of overheating or running out of. Manual burners work the same as fireplaces, with the exception that you'll require matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

When choosing a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is important to remember that the burner must be covered by non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful alternative for those looking to have an impressive feature to add to their home but don't have the money or time to build an electric fireplaces or gas fireplace. These are ideal for renovations and new homes where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they don't produce soot or ash, there's no issues with maintenance, either.

Styles and designs

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to look sleek and modern. Whatever the design, each type offers the same benefits: authentic flame ambience with no smoke or toxic gases.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models on the contrary, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire is started through a 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 maximum potential. Once the fire is lit you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.

Certain ethanol fireplaces come with adjustable heat settings. This lets you adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for new homes or older homes that do not have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gases or ash that can be harmful to those who suffer from respiratory issues.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also simple. While the exact time to install is dependent on the model you choose however, the majority of them are installed in a short time. You can choose an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be transported with you if ever you relocate. This is an ideal option for living arrangements that are temporary. The ease of installation is an important factor for many people and it's something to consider when choosing a new fireplace.

No Flu

The major benefit that bioethanol 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 accumulation or a blockage.

A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce many particulates, which can harm the air. This is great for those suffering from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there is no smoke that is produced by the fire and therefore it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces generate an enormous amount of heat, 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 several designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose one that is wall fires-mounted for modern, sleek design or a recessed model which will blend in with the style of your home.

A burner that is either manual or automated is another aspect to consider. A manual burner requires that you light the fuel from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light the fire after the tank is completely empty.

It is important that you allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refilling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will vaporize and you'll have to start all over again.

Most manufacturers recommend that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure you have enough time to properly remove the flames and ensure all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any remaining fuel with ethanol out of reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Maintenance ease

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it generates a flame and heat that can be adjusted using a slider (not all designs feature this). By changing the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can adjust the speed at which fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.

The soot created by the fuel burning can be easily cleaned with a an easy clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and ensuring that it's a safe distance away from any flammable items or supplies.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a lot of flexibility when designing your home and where you want to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt for an open-air model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install and some models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, which allows you to direct the heat and flame towards the desired location of the room. You can even mount an electronic remote control on some designs to have full control from the comfort of your sofa.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces have brackets that allow you to connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it and still be in a position to turn it on or off and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

When you are not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is turned off and kept away from any flammable materials or supplies. Don't try to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Also, be cautious when handling the burner as it is extremely hot.
