Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are great to add a warm feel to any room without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are also the most secure kind of fire that is available.

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

Easy installation

Ethanol fireplaces are a straightforward and quick option for homeowners looking to make their living space more attractive or add a focal piece to their home decor. You don't need chimneys and they don't produce dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your walls or ceilings.

If you decide to go with the complete fire suite - such as Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, from PS569 - or a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. It is all you have to do is sure that your wall or ceiling is strong and follow the instructions of the model you pick.

The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the equipment needed to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It will take a professional about an hour to mount the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.

You can also choose of manual or automatic bio ethanol burners. The automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, so that it can burn longer without the risk of overheating or running out. A manual burner operates in the same way as a traditional fireplace, but 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 with non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home, but don't have the funds or time to build gas or wood fireplaces. They're an excellent option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate ash or soot, so there are no maintenance concerns.

Styles and designs

There are a number of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have a traditional wood-burning look and others sport modern and sleek design. Each type offers the same advantages, regardless of design: a real flame ambience free of harmful fumes or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and require special mounting equipment. They must also comply with certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.

The fire itself comes from the burner pan, which is located on the bottom of the fireplace insert. Fuel is poured into this pan, and the fire is ignited using a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its maximum flame potential. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.

Certain ethanol fire places have heating settings that can be adjusted. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fire produces, which is beneficial if you wish to provide more warmth than simply ambience.

Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for homes that are new or older ones that don't have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gases or ash that can be dangerous for people suffering from respiratory ailments.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install inside your home. The time required to install will depend on the type of fireplace you choose. However, the majority of models can be set up fairly quickly. You can pick an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you in the event that you move. This is a great choice for temporary living arrangements. The ease of installation is a crucial factor for many people and it's something that should not be overlooked when choosing the perfect fireplace.

No Flu

The big advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need a flue in order to function. This means that there is no risk of chimney fires that could result from the accumulation of tar or a blockage in the flue.

A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce numerous particles that could cause harm to the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from allergies or asthma. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, therefore it does not create a bad odor in the room.

Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bioethanol fires don't lose much heat through the chimney, so it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the fire without worrying about catching alight which could be dangerous for any valuables.

There are a variety of designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted unit or opt for one that is recessed to blend in with the design 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 from the reservoir, while an automatic one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

It is important that you let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools before refilling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start over.

The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to remove the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any remaining fuel with ethanol out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Maintenance ease

The bioethanol fuel is put into the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it generates an ember and heat that can be adjusted using the slider (not all designs include this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

The soot produced by the burning of fuel can be easily cleaned with a a soft, clean cloth. The only other requirement is to keep the fireplace full of the correct fuel and to ensure it's not in contact with flammable materials or objects.

Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can install 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 take pleasure in the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can even opt for a freestanding fireplace that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees to direct the flame and heat to the desired space of your room. You can also mount an electronic remote control on some designs to have full control from the comfort of your sofa.

Many wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets to enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloping one. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you want it while being capable of turning it off or on, adjust the flame height, and set the temperature using the remote control.

When you're not using the ethanol fireplace, make sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable items or materials. Also, don't attempt to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it's cooled to room temperature. Also, be cautious when handling the burner as it is very hot.
