Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can provide warmth to any room, without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for your fireplace and you follow all safety instructions then your fireplace will be operating in a safe manner.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick solution for homeowners who want to make their living space more attractive or add a focal piece to their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they won't create dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your walls or ceilings.

If you decide to go with the complete fire suite - for example, 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 simple and requires no specialist help. All you have to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the instructions for the model you have chosen.

If you decide to install a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace, most are supplied with the necessary hardware to allow them to be hung like a flat-screen TV, or recessed into the wall. You'll need to find the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions however, it shouldn't take more than an hour for professionals to do it.

You can also pick between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning devices. An automatic burner will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners operate the same as fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters to light the flames.

When choosing a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible material to ensure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to set up a wood or gas fireplace. They are great for renovations and new homes where chimney breasts were removed. Since they don't produce soot or ash, there aren't any issues with maintenance, either.

Designs and styles

There are many different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces come in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces wooden feature an old-fashioned wood fireplaces-burning style, while others feature a sleek and modern design. Regardless of the style they all offer the same benefits: authentic flames with no fumes or harmful gases.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall fireplace or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models, on other hand, are anchored to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire itself is created by a burner pan situated at 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 maximum flame potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.

Certain ethanol fireplaces come with adjustable heat settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fire produces, which is useful if you want to give you more warmth than just ambience.

Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent alternative for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gases or ash, which can be harmful to those suffering from respiratory ailments.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install within your home. While the exact time to install is dependent on the model you choose the majority can be installed fairly quickly. You can pick a portable freestanding fireplace that can be taken with you when you relocate. This is a great option for temporary living arrangements. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when purchasing a fireplace.

No flu

The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is the fact that they do not require a chimney in order to function. As a result, there is no chance of chimney fires that can result from a build-up of tar or an obstruction in the flue.

A bio ethanol fireplace doesn't produce a lot of particles that could harm the air, which is good news for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there isn't any smoke produced by the fireplace and therefore it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces generate lots of heat compared to wood fireplace-burning fires. This lets you keep your furniture close to the fire without having to worry about it catching on fire which could be hazardous.

There are many designs to choose from for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can pick a wall-mounted model for modern, sleek design or a recessed one which will blend in with the style of your home.

A manual or automatic burner is another option to consider. A manual burner requires that you light the fuel from the reservoir. An automatic burner will light your fire automatically after the tank is completely empty.

It is essential to allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the flame cools before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll have to start again.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you wait at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have plenty of time to extinguish the flames, and make sure that all flammable substances are removed from the flame. In addition, it's recommended to store any spare fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Maintenance ease

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces a flame and heat that can be controlled with the slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is fed to the fire you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns, it produces some soot. However, this is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is keeping the burner full of the correct fuel and ensuring it is kept away from any flammable objects or other equipment.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to set up and you don't need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a lot of flexibility in the design of your home and the location you wish to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding fireplace that is portable.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install, and certain models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, which allows you to direct the flame and heat towards the desired location of the room. Some models come with a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from your couch.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces have brackets that permit you to connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you want it while being 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 fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it's cooled to room temperature. Also, be cautious when handling the burner as it will be very hot.
