Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are ideal for bringing a cozy feel to any room, without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure kind of fire that is available.

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

Installation is simple

Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick solution for homeowners looking to transform their living area or add a focal piece to their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they won't emit dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.

It doesn't matter if you choose a full fire suite - for example, Mano Mano's Adam Solus fireplace inserts suite (click this) in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black from PS569 - or an independent model that can 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 ensure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the guidelines for the model you have chosen.

Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted come with the hardware necessary to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall fireplace. You'll need to find the studs and fit the brackets and extensions however, it should not take more than an hour for an expert to do this.

You can also select between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning equipment. An automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners work in the same way as a traditional fireplace, but you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.

When you choose a burner to use in your bio-ethanol fireplace it's important to keep in mind that the burner must be covered by non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

The Ethanol fire is a fantastic choice for those who want a dramatic feature to enhance their home but do not have the money or time to install an electric fireplace or gas fireplace. These are ideal for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. And, because they don't produce soot or ash, there are no issues with maintenance, either.

Designs and styles

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport a traditional wood-burning look and others sport modern and sleek designs. Every type of fireplace offers the same advantages, regardless of design: a real flame ambience without harmful fumes 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, on the other hand, are anchored to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.

The fire itself is created by the burner pan, which is situated on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit with a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.

Certain cheap fireplaces with ethanol have adjustable heating settings. This allows you to customize the amount of heat that your fireplace produces, which can be beneficial if you wish to provide more warmth than just ambiance.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require a chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes as well as modern homes that do not have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place does not generate ash or harmful gases which could be harmful for people with respiratory problems.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install within your home. The exact installation time will depend on the model you choose. However, most models can be set up fairly quickly. You can pick a portable freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you if ever you relocate. This is a great choice for living arrangements that are temporary. It is essential to consider the installation ease when buying the fireplace.

No flue

The biggest advantage of bio ethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is the fact that they don't require a chimney in order to function. This means that there is no risk of chimney fires that can be caused by the build-up of tar, or obstructions in the flue.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create numerous particles that could cause harm to the air. This is a great thing for people suffering from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there isn't any smoke produced by the fireplace and, therefore, it doesn't cause an unpleasant smell in the room.

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

If you choose to install a freestanding bioethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs you can choose from. You can pick a wall-mounted model for an elegant, modern fireplace appearance or a recessed unit that will blend into the design of your room.

A burner that is either manual or automated is a different aspect to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light the fire after the tank is completely empty.

It is important that you allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the burner cools before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol may evaporate and you'll need to start from scratch.

Most manufacturers recommend that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have plenty of time to safely extinguish the flames, and make sure that all flammable materials are away from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any spare fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from happening.

Maintenance ease

Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled with a slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can adjust the speed at which fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns, it creates some soot, but this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and ensure that it's not in contact with dangerous materials or objects.

Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and you don't need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a lot of flexibility in designing your home, and where you want to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing fireplace that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to set up and some models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you to the flame and heat to be directed into the desired part of the room. You can even mount a remote control onto some designs to take full control from the couch.

A majority of bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets to allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloping one. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you want it while being in a position to turn the flame off or on and adjust the flame's height, and adjust the temperature using the remote control.

When you are not using your ethanol flame ensure that it is off and is away from any flammable materials or other equipment. Don't try to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature and always be cautious when handling the burner since it will be very hot.
