Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can give a cozy feeling to any space without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire you can find.

If you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically designed for your fireplace and adhere to the safety guidelines, your fireplace stove should be extremely safe to use.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fires are a fast and simple solution for homeowners looking to transform their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. They don't require a flue and don't create dangerous smoke and you don't have to worry about the build-up of soot on your ceilings or walls.

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 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 make sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and follow the directions of the model you select.

If you choose a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace, most are supplied with the necessary hardware to allow them to be mounted like a flat-screen TV, or recessed into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs and install the brackets and extensions however, it shouldn't take more than an hour for a professional to do so.

There is also the option of manual or automatic bioethanol burners. The automatic burner keeps the fuel from the flames so that it can burn for longer without the risk of overheating or running out. Manual burners work exactly like a fireplace, except that you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.

When selecting a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner should be covered by non-combustible material to make sure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could become too hot and damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those looking to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to set up a wood or gas fireplace. These are ideal for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate ash or soot, so there's no maintenance issues.

Styles and designs

There are many different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some have a more traditional fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to be sleek and modern. Whatever the design, each type offers the same benefits: authentic flame ambience with no smoke or toxic gases.

Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models on the contrary, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They must also meet certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire is made through a burner pan, which is located at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan, and the fire is ignited using a long lighter. The process takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full potential for flame. Once the flames are set then it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.

Certain ethanol fire places offer heating settings that can be altered. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace produces.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require a chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce toxic gases or ash that could pose a risk for those with respiratory issues.

Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install within your home. While the exact installation time will depend on the model you select the majority can be installed relatively quickly. You can also opt for a freestanding portable fireplace electric which you can take with you when you decide to relocate, making it an ideal choice for a temporary home. It is crucial to think about the ease of installation when purchasing the fireplace.

No flue

The main benefit of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they do not require a chimney in order to function. There is no chance of a chimney fire caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create numerous particles that could cause harm to the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from allergies or asthma. The fire does not produce smoke, which means it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bioethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat up the chimney, and therefore can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture close to the fire without worrying about catching fire that could be hazardous for your valuables.

If you choose to install a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace there are options to pick from. You can go for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted unit or opt for an recessed model that will fit in with the style of your space.

Another thing to consider is whether you'd prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly out of the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light the fire after the tank is completely empty.

When you've finished using your Bioethanol Fire fireplace it is essential to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the fireplace is cool before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol could evaporate and you'll have to start from scratch.

Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to safely eliminate the flames and remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any spare fuel with ethanol out of reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Easy maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled using an adjustable slider. (Not all models have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can adjust how quickly the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns it creates a small amount of soot, but this can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance required is keeping the burner properly fueled and ensuring it's a safe distance away from any flammable objects or equipment.

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

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls with ease, and some models can be rotated by 180 degrees so you can direct the flame and heat to the desired space of your living space. You can even mount a remote control onto some of the designs to take full control from the comfortable sofa.

A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloping 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're not using the ethanol fireplace, make sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable items or materials. Do not add any fuel into the burner until it is at room temperature. Be careful when handling it since it's extremely hot.
