Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces wood are great to add a warm feel to any space without the need for expensive structural work or gas supply. They are the most secure fireplace type that is available.

If you use only bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for the fire and you adhere to all safety guidelines, then your fireplace should operate safely.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick solution for homeowners looking to transform their living area or add a focal piece to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't release dangerous smoke, so you don't have to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your ceilings or walls.

Whether you opt for a full fire suite - for example, 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 does not require any assistance from a specialist. You only need to make sure that your ceiling or wall is strong and follow the instructions of the model you choose.

If you opt for an ethanol fireplace that is wall-mounted they are usually equipped with the hardware that allows them to be hung like a flat-screen TV, or recessed into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions, but it shouldn't take more than an hour for a professional to do so.

There is also the option of manual or automated bio ethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel away from the flames, which means it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners function exactly like fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters to light the flames.

When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is important to remember that the burner needs to be covered with non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could overheat and damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those looking to create a dramatic focal point in their home, but don't have the money or time to build gas or wood fireplaces. They are perfect for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts were removed. They also don't produce soot or ash, there's no maintenance issues to worry about, either.

Styles and designs

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

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and require specialized mounting gear. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.

The fire itself originates from a burner pan that is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. The process takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the flames have been established, it's time to relax, sit back and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.

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

Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimneys or flues. This makes them a great alternative for older homes or newer homes without chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place does not generate ash or harmful gases that could pose a risk for people with respiratory problems.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install inside your home. While the exact time to install depends on the model you select, most can be installed fairly quickly. You can pick a portable freestanding fireplace which can be transported with you if ever you move. This is an ideal option for living arrangements that are temporary. It is important to consider the ease of installation when you purchase the fireplace.

No Flu

The main benefit of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they do not require a chimney for operation. There is no danger 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 great for people suffering from allergies or asthma. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, so it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces produce an enormous amount of heat compared to wood-burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the flame without having to worry about catching a flame which could be dangerous for your valuables.

There are many designs to choose from for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted model or choose a recessed version that will blend into the style of your space.

Another thing to consider is whether you'd prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires that you light the fuel from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will light your fire automatically when the tank is empty.

It is crucial to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner cools before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll need to start over.

Most manufacturers recommend that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have enough time to remove the flames, and make sure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any spare ethanol fuel away from the reach of pets and children.

Maintenance is easy

The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it generates a flame and heat that can be adjusted using the slider (not all designs include this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is pumped into the fire, you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.

The soot created by the burning of fuel can be easily cleaned with a an easy, clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the fireplace filled with the correct fuel and ensure that it is kept away from any items or materials that are flammable.

Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and you don't need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This provides you with a large amount of flexibility in the design of your home, and also where you can enjoy the warmth and ambiance 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 with ease, and some models can be rotated 180 degrees to move the flame and heat into the desired area of your home. Some models include a 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 fireplaces have brackets that allow you to attach them to a flat or sloping ceiling. Installing the fireplace wherever you want is possible, however, you'll still be able to make use of the remote control to turn off the fireplace or adjust the flame's height and adjust the temperature.

If you're not using your ethanol fireplace, be sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Don't pour any more fuel into the burner until it is at room temperature. Be careful when handling it as it is extremely hot.
