Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can bring an inviting atmosphere to any room, without the need for expensive structure work or gas supply. They are the most secure kind of fire available.

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

Installation is easy

Ethanol fireplaces are a straightforward and quick solution for homeowners who want to make their living space more attractive or add a focal point to their home decor. You don't need chimneys and they don't create dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.

Installation is easy and doesn't require any expert assistance. All you have to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is sturdy enough and follow the directions for the specific model.

Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted include the hardware necessary to mount them like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It takes an experienced professional around an hour to mount the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.

You also have a choice of manual or automated bioethanol burners. An automatic burner will keep the fuel away from the flames, meaning it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners work exactly the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or lighters to light the flames.

It is important to keep in mind that when selecting a bioethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home, but don't have the budget or time to install gas or wood fireplaces. They are great for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts have been removed. And, because they do not generate soot or ash, there aren't any issues with maintenance or worry about.

Styles and designs

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Some are more traditional in their wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. No matter what style they all offer the same benefits: genuine flame ambience without gas or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and require special mounting gear. They also must meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.

The fire itself comes from the burner pan, which is situated on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. The process takes about 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 and cozy atmosphere of your home.

Some ethanol fire places even offer heating settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for new homes or older ones that don't have traditional chimney breasts or marble fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fire does not emit harmful gases or ash that are dangerous to people who suffer from respiratory issues.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also easy. While the exact installation time depends on the model you choose however, the majority of them can be installed relatively quickly. You can also opt for a portable fireplace that you can carry with you in the event of a relocate, making it a good choice to use as a temporary living arrangement. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when purchasing the fireplace.

No flu

The main advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require a flue in order to function. There is no risk of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or blockage.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particulates, which can cause harm to the air. This is beneficial for people suffering from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there is no smoke generated by the fire which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces generate lots of heat, compared to wood burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the fire without worrying about catching fire that could be hazardous for any valuables.

There are several designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can pick an installation on the wall for modern, sleek design or a recessed one which will blend in with the design of your space.

Another thing to consider is whether you want an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic one will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.

When you're done using your bioethanol fireplace it is essential to let the flames burn out completely and to wait until the fireplace has cooled before refueling. If you don't do this, the ethanol could evaporate and you'll need to start again.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you allow at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so that you have plenty of time to put out the flames, and make sure that all flammable substances are removed from the flame. Additionally, it is recommended to store any spare fuel with ethanol out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Maintenance ease

The bio ethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it generates a flame and heat that can be controlled by the slider (not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns, it produces a small amount of soot, but this is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the burner is properly fueled and ensuring it is kept away from any fire-prone objects or supplies.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can put them almost anywhere without having to worry about chimney regulations or building regulations. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility in the design of your home and where you can enjoy the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing fireplace insert that you can move from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install and some models allow you to rotate the unit by 180 degrees, which allows you to direct the flame and heat to the desired area of the room. You can even put a remote control onto some of the designs to take full control from the comfortable sofa.

Many wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that allow them to be affixed to a flat ceiling or sloped one. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it and still be in a position to turn the flame off or on and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature using the remote control.

When you are not using your ethanol fire, make sure that it is turned off and is away from any flammable materials or supplies. Don't try to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled to room temperature and always be careful when handling the burner as it is very hot.
