Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are ideal to add a warm feel to any room, without the expense of structural work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire you can find.

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

Installation is easy

Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick solution for homeowners who want to make their living space more attractive or to add a focal point to their home decor. They don't require a flue and they don't release dangerous smoke which means you don't need to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your ceilings or walls.

Whether you opt for a full fire suite - such as 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 need to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the guidelines for your specific model.

The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the equipment needed to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to install the brackets, extensions and find the studs.

You can also select between manual and automated bio ethanol burning equipment. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, meaning it can burn for longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners work similar to fireplaces, but you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.

When selecting a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner should be covered by non-combustible material to ensure that nothing gets in 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 option for people who want to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to build a wood or gas fireplace. These are ideal for renovations and new homes where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create soot or ash, so there's no maintenance issues.

Designs and styles

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in different styles and designs. Some have a more traditional fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to be sleek and modern. Each type comes with the same advantages regardless of the style: a real flame ambience without toxic gasses or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and require specialized mounting gear. They also must meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.

The fire is started through a burner pan, which is located at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. The process takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its maximum flame potential. Once the flames are established, it's time to relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.

Certain fireplaces with ethanol come with adjustable heat settings. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.

Another benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent alternative for new homes or older homes without traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not generate gas or ash, which can be dangerous for those suffering from respiratory issues.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also easy. The time required to install will depend on the model that you choose. However, the majority of models can be installed quickly. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace that 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 a crucial aspect for many buyers and it's something that should not be overlooked when shopping for the perfect fireplace.

No Flu

The major benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't require an exhaust pipe to run. There is no danger of a chimney fire that is caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release many particulates, which can affect the air. This is beneficial for those suffering from asthma or allergies. The fire does not produce smoke, therefore it won't cause unpleasant odor in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bio ethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat up the chimney, which means it produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture close to the flame without having to worry about catching a flame, which could be dangerous for any valuables.

If you choose to install a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace insert there are different designs to choose from. You can choose modern and sleek design by installing it on the wall or choose one that is recessed to fit in with the style of your room.

Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic burner will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.

After you've used your bioethanol fireplace it is essential to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the fireplace is cool before refilling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start over.

The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to eliminate the flames and then remove any flammable material from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any remaining fuel with ethanol out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from happening.

Maintenance ease

The bio ethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it creates a flame and heat that can be controlled with a slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is supplied 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, but this is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance required is to ensure that the fireplace is full of 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 gives you great flexibility when designing your home and also where you would like to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt to have a freestanding model that you can move from room to room.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol stone fireplaces are able to be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees so you can direct the flame and heat to the desired location of your living space. You can even put a remote control onto certain designs to take full control from the comfort of your sofa.

A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets to allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. Installing the fireplace wherever you want is possible, however, you'll still be able to use the remote control to shut it off or adjust the flame's height and adjust the temperature.

When you're not using the fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Do not add any fuel into the burner until it has reached temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be careful when handling it because it is very hot.
