Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can provide an inviting atmosphere to any space, without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire that is available.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for your fire and adhere to all safety rules then your fireplace will perform safely.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fires are a quick and easy option for homeowners who wish to make their living spaces more attractive or create a focal point for their home decor. They don't require a flue and they don't produce dangerous smoke and you don't have to worry about the build up of soot on your walls or ceilings.

If you decide to go with a full fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, from PS569 or a freestanding model that is able to be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is easy and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you have to do is make sure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the directions for the specific model.

If you decide to install 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 have to locate the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions however it shouldn't take more than an hour for a professional to do so.

You can also choose between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning equipment. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel away from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. A manual burner operates similarly to an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll require 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 do not cover the burner, the flame could overheat and damage the fireplace.

The ethanol fire is a great choice for those who want a dramatic feature to enhance their home but do not have the time or budget to install wood or gas fireplaces. They're an excellent choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create soot or ash, which means there's no maintenance issues.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in a variety of styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature the traditional wood-burning appearance and others sport a sleek and modern design. No matter what style the marble fireplaces all have the same benefits: authentic flame ambience with no gas or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models, on other hand, are anchored to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They must also comply with certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.

The fire is created by a burner pan that is located in the middle of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan, and the fire is lit using a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is lit you can relax and enjoy the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.

Certain ethanol fire places offer heat settings that can be adjusted. This lets you customize the amount of heat that your fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want to create more warmth rather than simply ambience.

Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent alternative for new homes or older homes that do not have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gases or ash, which can be harmful to those suffering from respiratory ailments.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. The time required to install will depend on the model that you select. However, the majority of models can be installed fairly quickly. You can even choose an open-air fireplace which you can take with you if you ever relocate, which makes it a good option for a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a key factor for many consumers and it's something to consider when choosing the perfect fireplace.

No flue

The major advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need an exhaust pipe to run. As a result, there is no risk of chimney fires which could be caused by the accumulation of tar or obstructions in the flue.

A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn't produce a lot of particles that can harm the air, which is good news for those suffering from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there's no smoke generated by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause 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, which means it produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about catching alight that could be hazardous for any valuables.

If you choose to install a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace there are options to pick from. You can select a wall-mounted model for an elegant, modern fireplace appearance or a recessed unit that will blend into the design of your room.

Another thing to think about is whether you'd prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light 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 allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refilling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will vaporize and you'll need to start again.

Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will give you time to safely remove the flames, and then remove any flammable material 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 is easy

Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates a flame and heat that can be controlled by the slider (not all designs feature this). By altering the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can adjust the speed at which the fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.

When the fuel is burned, it produces tiny amounts of soot, but this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance required is keeping the burner full of the correct fuel and ensuring it is not too far from any flammable objects or equipment.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to set up and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. 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 can even choose a freestanding model that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall fires easily, and certain models can be rotated 180 degrees, allowing you to focus the heat and flame to the desired location of your home. Certain models come with remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from your couch.

To maximize versatility, a lot of the plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces have brackets that allow you to connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you like it and still be able to turn it on or off, adjust the flame height, and adjust the temperature using the remote control.

If you're not using your ethanol fire ensure that it is off and a safe distance away from any flammable materials or other equipment. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner is at room temperature. Be careful when handling it as it is extremely hot.
