Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can provide an inviting atmosphere to any space, without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are the most secure fire type available.

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

Installation is easy

Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick solution for homeowners looking to make their living space more attractive or add a focal piece to their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they don't produce dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.

Whether you opt for the complete fire suite - such as 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 requires no specialist help. It is all you have to do is sure that the ceiling or wall is strong and follow the directions of the model you pick.

If you decide to install an ethanol fireplace that is wall-mounted, most are supplied with the hardware that allows them to be hung as a flat-screen television or installed into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs and install the brackets and extensions however, it shouldn't take more than an hour for professionals to do it.

You can also choose of manual or automated bio ethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames, so that it can burn longer without the risk of overheating or running out of. Manual burners function similar to cheap fireplaces, but you'll need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.

When selecting a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner must be covered with non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could overheat and damage the fireplace.

The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful alternative for those looking to have an eye-catching feature to enhance their home but don't have the money or time to set up a gas or wood fireplace. They're a perfect option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate ash or soot, so there's no need for maintenance.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature the traditional wood-burning appearance, while others feature modern and sleek design. Each type offers the same advantages, regardless of design: a real flame ambience without toxic fumes or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models, on contrary, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.

The fire itself comes from a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is then lit with a long-lasting lighter. It takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full flame potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Certain fireplaces with ethanol come with adjustable temperature settings. This lets you adjust the amount of heat the fireplace produces.

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for homes that are new or older homes that do not have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce gas or ash, which can be dangerous for those with respiratory issues.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install in your home. The time required to install will depend on the model that you choose. However, the majority of models can be installed quickly. You can also opt for a portable fireplace that you can carry with you when you decide to move, making it an ideal choice for a temporary home. It is crucial to think about the ease of installation when you purchase the fireplace.

No flue

The major advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require an exhaust pipe to run. This means that there is no chance of chimney fires that could result from a build-up of tar or a blockage in the flue.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particulates, which can cause harm to 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 which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat through the chimney, which means it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture close to the flame without having to worry about catching a flame that could be hazardous for any valuables.

There are many designs to choose from for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for an elegant and contemporary look with a wall-mounted unit, or you can get a recessed version that will blend into the style of your room.

A burner that is either manual or automated is another thing to think about. A manual burner requires that you light the fuel directly from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will light your fire automatically after the tank is completely empty.

It is crucial to allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refueling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start all over again.

The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to safely extinguish the flames, and remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any spare ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from happening.

Ease of maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled by an adjustable slider. (Not all models have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can alter the speed at which fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

The soot created from the combustion of fuel can be easily removed with the help of a soft, clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the burner is full of the correct fuel and to ensure it's not in contact with items or materials that are flammable.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to set up, and you don't have to worry about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a lot of flexibility when designing your home and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also opt to have a free-standing fireplace that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and some models allow you to rotate the unit 180 degrees, which allows you to direct the heat and flame towards the desired location of the room. Certain models come with remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.

To maximize versatility, a lot of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow you to attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you like it, and be capable of turning it off or on and alter the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

When you're not using your ethanol fireplace, make sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable items or materials. Also, don't attempt to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Also, be careful when handling the fire as it is extremely hot.
