Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

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

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for your fire and you follow all safety instructions, then your fireplace should operate in a safe manner.

Ease of installation

Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick option for homeowners looking to revamp their living space or add a focal piece to their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they don't create dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your ceilings or walls.

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 an independent model that can 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 make sure that the wall fireplace or ceiling is sturdy enough and follow the instructions for the specific model.

If you opt for a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace they are usually equipped with the fittings that allow them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV, or installed into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs and fit the brackets and extensions, but it should not take more than an hour for an expert to do this.

You also have a choice of manual or automatic bio ethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames so that it can burn longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. Manual burners function exactly like a fireplace, except that you'll need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

When choosing a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible material to ensure that nothing comes into 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 striking feature in their home but don't have the budget or time to install gas or wood fireplaces. They're a perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. And, because they do not produce soot or ash, there are no problems with maintenance or worry about.

Styles and designs

There are a number of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature a traditional wood-burning look, while others feature a sleek and modern design. Every type of fireplace insert offers the same advantages, regardless of style: a real flame ambience free of harmful gases or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around a space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and may require special mounting equipment. They must also meet certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire itself comes from a burner pan situated on 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 are established and the fire is ablaze, you can relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Some ethanol fire places even provide heat settings that can be altered. This lets you customize the amount of heat your fire produces, which is useful if you want to give you more warmth than just ambiance.

Another benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them a great alternative for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fireplace does not emit harmful gases or ash, which are dangerous to people suffering from respiratory ailments.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. The exact time to install them will depend on the model you select. However, the majority of models can be installed fairly quickly. You can opt for a portable freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you in the event that you relocate. This is a great choice for living arrangements that are temporary. It is important to consider the ease of installation when purchasing a fireplace.

No flue

The biggest advantage of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is the fact that they do not require a chimney to function. This means that there's no chance of chimney fires that could result from a build-up of tar or a blockage in the flue.

A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce many particulates, which can affect the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there is no smoke generated by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause an unpleasant smell in the room.

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

If you opt for a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs you can choose from. You can choose an elegant and contemporary look by installing it on the wall or opt for a recessed version that will fit in with the style of your room.

Another thing to consider is whether you want an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly out of the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light your fire after the tank is completely empty.

It is crucial to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refueling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start again.

Most manufacturers recommend that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire so you have enough time to safely extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable substances are removed from the flame. To prevent accidents, keep any spare ethanol fuel away from the reach of pets and children.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be controlled with the slider (not all designs include this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

The soot that is produced by the fuel burning can be easily cleaned with a a soft clean cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the Tabletop fireplace is full of the correct fuel and making sure it is kept away from any flammable objects or equipment.

Another advantage of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them virtually anywhere without worrying about chimneys or building regulations. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home and where you can experience the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing fireplace that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be installed on your wall fires with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees so you can move the flame and heat to the desired location of your living space. Some models include a remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.

Many bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets to allow them to be attached to a flat ceiling or sloped one. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it and still be able to turn it on or off, adjust the flame height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

When you are not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is turned off and a safe distance away from any flammable substances or other equipment. Do not add any fuel into the burner until it has reached temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it is extremely hot.
