Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are great to add a warm feel to any room without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure kind of fire you can find.

As long as you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically formulated for your fire and you follow the safety instructions the fireplace will be very safe to operate.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fires are a simple and easy solution for homeowners who wish 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 and you don't have to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your ceilings or walls.

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 can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you need to do is make sure that your wall or ceiling is sturdy and follow the directions of the model you pick.

If you opt for an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall they are usually equipped with the hardware that allows them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV or installed into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions, but it shouldn't take more than an hour for a professional to do so.

You also have a choice of manual or automated bio ethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, so that it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or running out. A manual burner operates exactly the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.

It's important to remember 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 do not cover the burner, the flame could get too hot and cause damage to the tabletop fireplace.

Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those looking to create a striking feature in their home, but don't have the money or time to set up gas or wood fireplaces. They're an excellent choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They also do not produce soot or ash, there are no issues with maintenance, either.

Designs and styles

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in a variety of styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport a traditional wood-burning look and others have modern fireplace and sleek design. Whatever the design they all offer the same benefits: genuine flames with no fumes or harmful gases.

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

The fire is created by a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan and then the fire is then lit with an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the flames are established, it's time to relax, sit back and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

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

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require a chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for new homes or older homes without traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gases or ash that can be dangerous for people with respiratory conditions.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also easy. The exact installation time will depend on the model you select. However, most models can be set up fairly quickly. You can pick a portable freestanding fireplace which can be taken with you if ever you relocate. This is an ideal option for living arrangements that are temporary. The ease of installation is an important aspect for many buyers and it's something that should not be ignored when looking for the perfect fireplace.

No Flu

The main advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need an exhaust pipe to run. As a result, there is no risk of chimney fires which could result from the accumulation of tar or a blockage in the flue.

A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn't create a lot of particles that can harm the air, which is good news for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there's no smoke that is produced by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause an unpleasant smell in the room.

Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose a lot of heat to the chimney, and therefore can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture close to the flame without worrying about catching fire which could be dangerous for your valuables.

There are a variety of designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can select an installation on the wall for a sleek, modern look or a recessed unit that will blend into the style of your home.

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

It is crucial to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol could evaporate and you will have to start again.

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

Maintenance is easy

The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then lit. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using a slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is supplied to the fire you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns, it produces a small amount of soot. However, this is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance is to keep the fireplace filled with the correct fuel and ensure that it's kept away from items or materials that are flammable.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are easy to set up, and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home, and also where you can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of your new fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding model that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol marble fireplaces are able to be incorporated into walls easily, and certain models can be rotated 180 degrees to direct the flame and heat to the desired location of your home. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.

Many of the wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloping one. The fireplace can be installed wherever you want is possible, however, you'll still be able to use the remote control to turn it off or adjust the flame's height and set the temperature.

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