Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can bring a cozy feeling to any space, without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.

If you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically designed for your fire and follow the safety guidelines your fireplace will be extremely safe to use.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick solution for homeowners who want to revamp their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. There is no need for chimneys and they don't emit dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your walls or ceilings.

Whether you opt for a full fire suite - like 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 does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you need to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong enough and follow the instructions for the specific model.

The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the necessary hardware to mount them either like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions however, it will not take more than one hour for an expert to do this.

You can also choose between automatic and manual bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners operate the same as fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.

It's important to remember when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could overheat and damage the fireplace.

The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful choice for those who want an impressive feature to add to their home but don't have the time or money to install a gas or wood fireplace. They're a perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate ash or soot, so there's no need for maintenance.

Designs and styles

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in various styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to be sleek and modern. Regardless of the style, each type offers the same benefits: genuine flame ambience with no fumes or harmful gases.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models on the other hand, are anchored to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.

The fire is started through a burner pan, which is located on the bottom of the fireplace suites. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is lit with a long-lasting lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.

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

Another benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for new homes or older homes that do not have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not produce any gas or ash which could be harmful for those suffering from respiratory issues.

Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install inside your home. The exact installation time will depend on the model you select. However, most models can be installed fairly quickly. You can also choose a portable fireplace that you can take with you when you decide to relocate, making it a great choice for a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a crucial aspect for many buyers and is something to consider when choosing a new fireplace.

No flue

The most significant benefit of bio ethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they don't require a chimney for operation. There is no chance of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or blockage.

A bio ethanol fireplace doesn't produce a lot of particulates that can damage the air, which is great news for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there is no smoke generated by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause a bad smell in the room.

Bio ethanol fireplaces produce lots of heat compared to wood-burning electric fires. This means you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the flame without having to worry about catching a flame that could be hazardous for your valuables.

There are many designs to choose from for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose one that is wall-mounted for modern, sleek design or a recessed unit which will blend in with the style of your home.

A manual or automatic burner is a different thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic one will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.

It is essential to allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol could evaporate and you will have to start over.

Most manufacturers suggest that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so that you have plenty of time to remove the flames and ensure that all flammable materials are away from the flame. In addition, it's best to store any leftover ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from happening.

Maintenance is easy

The bio ethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then lit. As the fuel burns, it creates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be adjusted using a slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

The soot that is produced from the combustion of fuel is easily removed using a the help of a soft clean cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the burner is properly fueled and ensuring that it is not too far from any flammable objects or supplies.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install, and you don't have to worry about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility when it comes to the design of your home and where you can experience the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding fireplace that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated by 180 degrees to focus the heat and flame to the desired location of your home. You can even mount a remote control onto some of the models to control the entire thing from the comfort of your sofa.

Many of the bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets that allow them to be attached to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. The fireplace can be installed wherever you'd like is possible but you can still make use of the remote control to turn it off or adjust the flame's height and set temperature.

If you're not using your ethanol fire, make sure that it is turned off and a safe distance away from any flammable substances or equipment. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until it is at temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it as it is extremely hot.
