Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are great for bringing a cozy feel to any room, without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are the most secure fireplace type that is available.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for your fireplace, and adhere to all safety guidelines then your fireplace will perform in a safe manner.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fires are a fast and easy solution for homeowners who wish to change the look of their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and don't create dangerous smoke and you don't have to worry about the build-up of soot on your walls or ceilings.

Whether you opt for an entire fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus electric fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 or an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is easy and doesn't require any expert assistance. All you need to do is make sure that your wall or ceiling is strong and follow the directions of the model you select.

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

You can also choose between automatic and manual bioethanol burning devices. The automatic burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so that it can burn longer without the danger of overheating or running out. Manual burners operate the same as fireplaces, but you will need matches or lighters to light the flames.

When choosing a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner must be covered with non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could become too hot and damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are an excellent 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. They are perfect for new construction and renovations in which chimney breasts were removed. Since they don't produce soot or ash, there aren't any problems with maintenance also.

Designs and styles

Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature a traditional wood-burning look and others sport modern and sleek design. Whatever the design the fireplaces all have the same benefits: authentic flames with no gas or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on 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 may require special mounting gear. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

The fire itself is created by a burner pan that is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan, and the fire is lit using an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the flames are established then it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.

Some ethanol fire places even have temperature settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat the fireplace produces.

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for new homes or older homes without traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces wooden. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gasses or ash, which are dangerous to people with respiratory conditions.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install in your home. The exact installation time will depend on the model you choose. However, most models can be installed quickly. You can choose an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be taken with you when you decide to move. This is an ideal option for living arrangements that are temporary. It is essential to consider the installation ease when buying the fireplace.

No flu

The main benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need a flue to operate. There is no danger of a chimney fire that is caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.

A bio-ethanol fireplace also doesn't create a lot of particulates that can damage the air, which is a great thing for those who suffer from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there is no smoke produced by the fireplace which means it doesn't produce a bad smell in the room.

Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, 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 lets you place your furniture in close proximity to the flame without worrying about it catching on fire and causing danger.

There are several designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for an elegant and contemporary look by installing it on the wall or opt for one that is recessed to fit in with the style of your room.

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

When you've finished using your bio ethanol fireplace, it is essential to let the flames completely go out and wait until the fire is cool before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol might evaporate and you will have to start from scratch.

Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to safely extinguish the flames, and remove any flammable materials from the fire. To avoid any accidents, store any ethanol fuel that you have left away from the reach of pets and children.

Maintenance ease

The bio ethanol fuel is added to the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it creates a flame and heat that can be controlled by an adjustable slider (not all designs feature this). By changing the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter the speed at which fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.

The soot that is produced from the combustion of fuel can be easily removed with the help of a soft, clean cloth. The only other requirement is to ensure that the burner is topped up with the right fuel and to ensure it's kept away from items or materials that are flammable.

Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere, without needing to worry about chimney regulations or building regulations. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility when it comes to the design of your home and also where you can experience the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can also opt to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees so you can focus the heat and flame into the desired area of your living space. You can even mount an electronic remote control on certain designs to take full control from the comfort of your sofa.

Many wall-mounted bioethanol fire fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow them to be attached to a flat ceiling or an inclined one. Installing the fireplace wherever you'd like is possible but you can still make use of the remote control to shut it off or adjust the flame's height and adjust the temperature.

If you're not using your ethanol fireplace, be sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Don't pour any more fuel into the burner until it is at the temperature of room temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it is very hot.
