Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are ideal for bringing a cozy feel to any space without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are also the safest type of fire available.

If you make use of 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 fast and easy option for homeowners looking to transform their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't release dangerous smoke, so you don't have to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your walls or ceilings.

It doesn't matter if you choose 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 is able to 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 make sure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the guidelines for your specific model.

If you opt for an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall, most are supplied with the necessary hardware to allow them to be hung like a flat-screen TV or installed into the wall. It will take an experienced professional approximately one hour to mount the brackets, extensions and find the studs.

You can also select between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning devices. An automatic burner will keep the fuel away from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners work the same as fireplaces, with the exception that you'll require matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

When you choose a burner to use in your bio ethanol fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not 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 focal point in their home but don't have the budget or time to build a wood or gas fireplace. They are perfect for renovations and new homes where chimney breasts were removed. Since they do not produce soot or ash, there are no issues with maintenance also.

Styles and designs

There are a number of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have a traditional wood-burning look, while others feature modern and sleek designs. Each model offers the same advantages, regardless of design that is a genuine flame atmosphere without harmful fumes or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models, on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.

The fire itself originates from the burner pan, which is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and 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 have been established, it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.

Certain ethanol fireplaces come with adjustable heating settings. This lets you adjust the amount of heat your fireplace produces.

Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimneys or flues. This makes them a great option for homes that are new or older ones that don't have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not generate gas or ash that could pose a risk for those with respiratory issues.

Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install inside your home. While the exact installation time will depend on the model you choose, most are installed in a short time. You can even choose a freestanding portable fireplace that you can take with you in the event of a relocate, making it an ideal option for a temporary living arrangement. It is essential to consider the installation ease when buying the fireplace.

No flue

The big benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need a flue to operate. In the end, there's no chance of chimney fires which could result from the accumulation of tar or a blockage in the flue.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particulates, which can harm the air. This is a great thing for people with allergies or asthma. The fire doesn't produce smoke, which means it won't cause unpleasant odor in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces generate a large amount of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This means you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the flame without worrying about catching alight which could be dangerous for any valuables.

If you decide to go with a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs to choose from. You can choose modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted unit, or you can get a recessed version that will fit in with the style of your room.

A manual or automatic burner is a different option 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 important that you let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refueling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will vaporize and you'll have to start again.

The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This gives you time to safely extinguish the flames, and remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any leftover ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from happening.

Ease of maintenance

The bio ethanol fuel is added to the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it creates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled with a slider (not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the electric fire you can alter how fast the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.

The soot that is produced by the fuel burning can be easily cleaned with a a soft, clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the fireplace topped up with the right fuel and ensure that it is kept away from any flammable materials or objects.

Another advantage of bio ethanol fires is that you can put them virtually anywhere without worrying about building regulations or chimneys. This gives you a lot of flexibility when designing your home and where you want to relax in the warmth of your electric fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing model that can be moved from room to room.

wall fires-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to set up and some models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, which allows you to the flame and heat to be directed into the desired part of the room. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.

Many of the wall fires-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets to allow them to be attached to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you like it, and be capable of turning it on or off and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature using the remote control.

When you're not using the fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Don't try to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled to room temperature and always be cautious when handling the burner since it is extremely hot.
