Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are excellent to add a warm feel to any space without the need for expensive structure work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire that is available.

As long as you only use bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically formulated for your fireplace and adhere to the safety guidelines, your fireplace should be very safe to operate.

Easy installation

Ethanol fires are a fast and simple solution for homeowners who wish to change the look of their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. There is no need for chimneys and they won't create dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.

Whether you opt for the complete 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 simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you have to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the directions for your specific model.

Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted come with the equipment needed to mount them like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It will take an experienced professional around an hour to install the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.

There is also the option of automatic or manual bio ethanol burners. An automatic burner will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners work in the same way as a traditional fireplace, however you'll require matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

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

Ethanol fires are a great option for people who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home, but don't have the budget or time to set up gas or wood fireplaces. They're an excellent option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. And, because they do not produce soot or ash, there are no problems with maintenance or worry about.

Designs and styles

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature the traditional wood-burning appearance and others sport a sleek and modern design. Every type of fireplace offers the same advantages, regardless of style and ambiance free of harmful fumes or smoke.

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

The fire itself is created by a burner pan situated at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is lit you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.

Some ethanol fire places offer heat settings that can be altered. This lets you adjust the amount of heat the fireplace produces.

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes as well as newer ones that don't have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gases or ash, which can be harmful to those with respiratory conditions.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install within your home. Although the exact time for installation depends on the model you choose, most can be installed relatively quickly. You can even choose a portable fireplace which you can take with you in the event of a move, making it an ideal option for a temporary living arrangement. It is crucial to think about the installation ease when buying an electric fireplace.

No flu

The main benefit of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they do not require a chimney for operation. There is no risk of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or blockage.

A bio-ethanol fireplace also doesn't produce a lot of particles that can harm the air, which is good news for those suffering from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there's no smoke generated by the fire and therefore it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.

Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bio ethanol fires don't lose heat through the chimney, and therefore can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This allows you to place your furniture in close proximity to the flame without having to worry about it burning, which could be dangerous.

There are several designs available for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can pick an installation on the wall for a sleek, modern look or a recessed unit that blends into the design of your room.

Another thing to consider is whether you'd prefer an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires that you ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light your fire after the tank is completely empty.

When you've finished using your bioethanol fireplace it's important to let the flames completely go out and wait until the fireplace has cooled before refueling. If you don't do this, the ethanol may evaporate and you will have to start again.

Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This gives you time to safely extinguish the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any remaining fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then ignited. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled with an adjustable slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter the speed at which the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.

The soot produced from the combustion of fuel can be easily cleaned with a the help of a soft, clean cloth. The only other thing to do is keeping the burner filled with the correct fuel and making sure it's a safe distance away from any flammable objects or other equipment.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can put them virtually anywhere without needing to worry about chimneys or building regulations. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility when it comes to the design of your home, and also where you can experience the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can even opt to have a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install, and certain models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you the flame and heat to be directed 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.

Many of the wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets to enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you want it while being able 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 fire ensure that it is turned off and a safe distance away from any flammable materials or supplies. Do not add any fuel into the burner until the burner is at room temperature. Be careful when handling it as it's extremely hot.
