Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can give a cozy feeling to any space without the need for expensive construction or Wall Fireplace gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire that is available.

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

Installation is simple

Ethanol fires are a quick and easy solution for homeowners who want to change the look of their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. They don't require a flue and don't create dangerous smoke which means you don't need to worry about the build-up of soot on your walls or ceilings.

Whether you opt for the complete fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black from PS569 - or a freestanding 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. All you need to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the instructions for your specific model.

Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted come with the necessary hardware 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 find the studs.

You can also pick between manual and automated bio ethanol burning equipment. An automatic burner will keep the fuel away from the flames, meaning it can burn for longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners operate similar to fireplaces, but you'll need matches or lighters to light the flames.

It is important to keep in mind that when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner properly, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful option for those looking for a dramatic feature to add to their home but do not have the time or money to set up a gas or wood fireplace. These are ideal for renovations and new homes in which chimney breasts were removed. They don't create soot or ash, which means there's no maintenance issues.

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 a sleek and modern design. Each model comes with the same advantages regardless of the style: a real flame ambience without toxic fumes or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models, on contrary, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They must also meet certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

The fire is started by a burner pan located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan and then the fire is then lit with a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the flames have been established and the fire is ablaze, you can relax, unwind and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.

Certain ethanol fire places offer temperature settings that can be adjusted. This lets you adjust the amount of heat that the fireplace produces.

Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for new homes or older ones that don't have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. A bio-ethanol fire does not release harmful gasses or ash, which are dangerous to people who suffer from respiratory issues.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. While the exact installation time depends on the model you select the majority are installed in a short time. You can also opt for a portable fireplace that you can carry with you if you ever relocate, making it an ideal choice for a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a crucial factor for many people and it's something that should not be overlooked when looking for a new fireplace suite.

No Flu

The main advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require a flue to operate. There is no chance of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or blockage.

A bio-ethanol fireplace also does not produce many particles that can harm the air quality, which is great news for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. The fire does not produce smoke, which means it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.

Bioethanol marble fireplaces generate an enormous amount of heat, compared to wood burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture close to the fire without worrying about catching alight which could be dangerous for any valuables.

There are several designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can select one that is wall-mounted for a sleek, modern look or a recessed one that blends into the style of your home.

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

It is important that you let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refilling. In the event that you don't, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start again.

Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to remove the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any remaining fuel with ethanol out of reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Maintenance is easy

The bioethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then lit. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using the slider. (Not all models have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

The soot created by the fuel burning can be easily cleaned with a a soft clean cloth. The only other requirement is to keep the fireplace suite full of the correct fuel and to ensure it is kept away from any items or materials that are flammable.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them virtually anywhere without worrying about building regulations or chimneys. This gives you a lot of flexibility in designing your home, and also where you would like to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt for an open-air model that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install and some models allow you to rotate the unit 180 degrees, allowing you to the flame and heat to be directed towards the desired location of the room. You can even put an electronic remote control on some designs to take full control from the comfort of your sofa.

For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces have brackets that allow you to attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it, and be capable of turning it on or off, adjust the flame height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

When you are not using your ethanol flame ensure that it is shut off and is away from any flammable substances or other equipment. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner has reached the temperature of room temperature. Be careful when handling it because it is very hot.
