Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can give a cozy feeling to any space without the need for expensive construction work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire you can find.

If you use only bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for the fire, and follow all safety instructions the fireplace will be operating in a safe manner.

Ease of installation

Ethanol fires are a quick and easy solution for homeowners who wish to change the look of their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. You don't require a chimney and they don’t produce dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your ceilings or walls.

It is all you have to do is sure that your wall or ceiling is sturdy and adhere to the instructions of the model you pick.

Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the hardware necessary to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs and fit 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 bioethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames, so that it can burn for longer without the risk of overheating or running out of. Manual burners function similar to a fireplace, except that you will need matches or lighters to light the flames.

When choosing a burner for your bio-ethanol white fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible material to make sure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could become too hot and damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those looking to create a striking feature in their home, but don't have the budget or time to install a wood or gas fireplace. They're an excellent option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce soot or ash, so there's no maintenance issues.

Designs and styles

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in various styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have an old-fashioned wood-burning style and others sport a sleek and modern fireplace design. No matter what style the fireplaces all have the same benefits: genuine flame ambience without gas or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and require specialized mounting gear. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire is created by a burner pan located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its maximum flame potential. Once the flames are set then it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Certain fireplaces with ethanol have adjustable heating settings. This lets you customize the amount of heat your fire produces, which is useful if you want to create more warmth rather than just ambience.

Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for homes that are new or older homes that do not have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gasses or ash, which are dangerous to people suffering from respiratory ailments.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install inside your home. The exact installation time will depend on the model you select. However, most models can be installed quickly. You can also opt for a freestanding portable fireplace that you can carry with you in the event of a relocate, which makes it an ideal choice for a temporary home. The ease of installation is a key aspect for many buyers and it's something that should not be overlooked when choosing a new fireplace.

No Flu

The most significant benefit of bio ethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they do not require a chimney for operation. This means that there's no chance of chimney fires that can result from the accumulation of tar or a blockage in the flue.

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

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat up the chimney, so it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This allows you to place your furniture in close proximity to the flame without worrying about it catching on fire, which could be dangerous.

If you opt for a freestanding bioethanol fireplace, there are a few options to pick from. You can go for a sleek and modern look by installing it on the wall, or you can get a recessed version that will blend in with the design of your space.

A manual or automatic burner is another option to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

After you've used your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is important to let the flames completely burn out and to wait until the fireplace has cooled before refueling. Otherwise the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start over.

Most manufacturers recommend that you wait at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure you have enough time to put out the flames and ensure that all flammable materials are away from the flame. To avoid any accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from the reach of pets and children.

Maintenance ease

Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates a flame and heat that can be controlled by an adjustable slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering how much oxygen is supplied to the fire you can alter the speed at which the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns, it creates tiny amounts of soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the fireplace is filled with the correct fuel and making sure it is kept away from any flammable objects or other equipment.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to be very flexible in the design of your home and where you want to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt for an open-air model that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be incorporated into walls with ease, and some models can be rotated 180 degrees so you can direct the flame and heat into the desired area of your room. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from your couch.

A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloping one. This lets you place the fireplace inserts wherever you want it, and be in a position to turn the flame off or on and alter the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

If you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Don't try to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled to room temperature and always be cautious when handling the burner as it is extremely hot.
