Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can provide a cozy feeling to any room without the need for costly construction work or gas supply. They are the safest kind of fire available.

If you use only bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for the fire, and adhere to all safety rules, then your fireplace should perform safely.

Easy installation

Ethanol fires are a simple and simple solution for homeowners who want to transform their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. They don't require a flue and they don't produce dangerous smoke, so you don't have to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your walls or ceilings.

If you decide to go with an entire 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 can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is easy and requires no specialist help. All you need to do is make sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and follow the directions for the model you pick.

The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the necessary hardware to install them as a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It takes a professional about an hour to mount the brackets, extensions and find the studs.

You also have a choice of manual or automatic bio ethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so it can burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. Manual burners work exactly the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need matches or a lighter to light the flames.

When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it's important to keep in mind that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are a great option for people who want to create a striking feature in their home, but don't have the budget or time to set up a wood or gas fireplace. These are ideal for renovations and new homes in which chimney breasts were removed. Since they don't produce soot or ash, there's no problems with maintenance, either.

Styles and designs

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Some have a more traditional fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. Regardless of the style the fireplaces all have the same benefits: genuine flames with no smoke or toxic gases.

Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models, on other hand, are anchored to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.

The fire itself originates from a burner pan located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit with a long-lasting lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can relax and enjoy the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.

Some ethanol fireplaces even have adjustable heat settings. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace produces.

Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gasses or ash, which are dangerous to people with respiratory conditions.

Installing bio ethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. The time required to install will depend on the model you select. However, the majority of models can be set up fairly quickly. You can also choose a freestanding portable fireplace which you can take with you in the event of a relocate, which makes it a good choice for a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is an important factor for many consumers, and it is something that should not be ignored when shopping for the perfect fireplace.

No Flu

The big advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require a flue in order to function. This means that there is no chance of chimney fires that could be caused by the build-up of tar, or a blockage in the flue.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release many particulates, which can cause harm to the air. This is great for people suffering from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there's no smoke generated by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause an unpleasant smell in the room.

Bio ethanol fireplaces produce a large amount of heat, compared to wood burning fires. This allows you to keep your furniture close to the fire without worrying about it getting caught on fire which could be hazardous.

If you choose to install a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace there are options to pick from. You can go for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted unit or opt for one that is recessed to blend in with the design of your space.

A burner that is either manual or automated is a different option to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic burner here will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

It is essential to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refilling. Otherwise the ethanol will vaporize and you'll have to start again.

Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to safely eliminate the flames and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. To avoid any accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from pets and children.

Maintenance ease

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. 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 that is fed to the fire, you can adjust the speed at which fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.

When the fuel is burned, it creates some soot, but this is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance required is keeping the burner full of the correct fuel and making sure it is kept away from any flammable items or supplies.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere, without having to worry about building regulations or chimneys. This gives you great flexibility in the design of your home and the location you wish to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt to have a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to set up and some models allow you to rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you direct the flame and heat into the desired part of the room. You can even mount remote controls on some of the models to control the entire thing from the couch.

To maximize versatility, a lot of the plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces have brackets that permit you to attach them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. Installing the fireplace wherever you like is possible, however, you'll still be able to make use of the remote control to turn off the fireplace or adjust the flame's height and adjust the temperature.

When you are not using your ethanol flame ensure that it is turned off and kept away from any flammable substances or supplies. Don't pour any more fuel into the burner until the burner has reached the temperature of room temperature. Be careful when handling it because it is very hot.
