Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can bring a cozy feeling to any room without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are the most secure kind of fire available.

As long as you only make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fire and follow the safety instructions, your fireplace should be extremely safe to use.

Ease of installation

Ethanol fires are a fast and easy option for homeowners looking to transform their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't release dangerous smoke and you don't have to worry about the build up of soot on your walls or ceilings.

It doesn't matter if you choose the complete fire suite - for example, 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. You only need to make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong and follow the directions of the model you select.

If you choose an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall, most are supplied with the hardware that allows them to be either hung as a flat-screen television or installed into the wall. It will take an experienced professional approximately one hour to mount the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.

There is also the option of manual or automatic bioethanol burners. The automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so it can burn longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. A manual burner operates in the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

It is important to keep in mind that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could become too hot and damage the fireplace.

The ethanol fire is a great option for those looking for an eye-catching feature to bring to their home, but don't have the money or time to install an electric or gas fireplace. They're an excellent option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they don't produce soot or ash, there aren't any issues with maintenance, either.

Designs and styles

There are a number of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces come in. Some are more traditional in their 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 gas or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models, on other hand, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They must also comply with certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.

The fire is started by a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan, and the fire is then lit with a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full potential for flame. Once the flames are established then it's time to relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.

Certain ethanol fireplaces come with adjustable heat settings. This lets you customize the amount of heat your fire produces, which can be beneficial if you wish to provide more warmth than just ambiance.

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes as well as newer ones that don't have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gases or ash, which can be harmful to those suffering from respiratory ailments.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install within your home. While the exact installation time is dependent on the model you select the majority are installed in a short time. You can also opt for an open-air fireplace that you can carry with you when you decide to relocate, making it a great option to use as a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is an important factor for many consumers and it's something to consider when shopping for the perfect fireplace.

No Flu

The biggest advantage of bio ethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fireplaces fires is the fact that they don't require a chimney in order to function. As a result, there's no chance of chimney fires that could result from the accumulation of tar or an obstruction in the flue.

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

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat up the chimney, and therefore produces a huge 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.

There are several designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted model or opt for an recessed model that will blend into the style of your room.

A burner that is either manual or automated is a different option to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automated one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

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

Most manufacturers recommend that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so that you have plenty of time to remove the flames, and make sure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any spare fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Maintenance ease

Ethanol fireplaces wood operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled by a slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering how much oxygen is fed to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns it releases tiny amounts of soot, but this can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and ensuring that it is kept away from any flammable items or other equipment.

Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere, without having to worry about chimney regulations or building regulations. This gives you great flexibility in designing your home, and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees to focus the heat and flame into the desired area of your home. Certain models come with remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from your couch.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol stone fireplaces are equipped with brackets that permit you to attach them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you like it and still be capable of turning it off or on, adjust the flame height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

When you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Do not add any fuel into the burner until the burner has reached room temperature. Be cautious when handling it since it is very hot.
