Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are ideal for bringing a cozy feel to any space without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for the fire and follow all safety instructions then your fireplace will be operating in a safe manner.

Ease of installation

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

If you decide to go with an entire 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 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. You only need to make sure that your ceiling or wall is strong and follow the directions of the model you choose.

If you opt for a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace they are usually equipped with the necessary hardware to allow them to be mounted as a flat-screen television or installed into the wall. It takes an experienced professional around an hour to mount the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.

You can also choose between manual and automated bio ethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners work similar to fireplaces, but you'll need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.

It's important to remember when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This can damage the fireplace.

The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful choice for those who want an impressive feature to add to their home, but don't have the time or money to set up wood or gas fireplaces. They're a perfect option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create soot or ash, which means there are no maintenance concerns.

Styles and designs

There are many different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some have a more traditional wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to be modern and sleek. Every type of fireplace stove offers the same advantages, regardless of the style that is a genuine flame atmosphere without toxic gases or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and require special mounting gear. They also must meet certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.

The fire itself originates from a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the flames are established then it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Some ethanol fire places even offer temperature settings that can be altered. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fire produces, which can be useful if you want to provide more warmth than just ambiance.

A further 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 release harmful gases or ash that can be dangerous for people with respiratory conditions.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also easy. The time required to install will depend on the type of tabletop fireplace you choose. However, the majority of models can be installed fairly quickly. You can even choose a freestanding portable fireplace that you can carry with you if you ever move, making it a good choice to use as a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is an important aspect for many buyers, and it is something that should not be ignored when looking for the perfect fireplace.

No flu

The main benefit of bio ethanol 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 caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release many particulates, which can cause harm to the air. This is great for people with allergies or asthma. Another benefit is that there is 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 heat up the chimney, which means it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture near the fire without worrying about catching fire which could be dangerous for your valuables.

There are many designs to choose from for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for an elegant and contemporary look with a wall-mounted unit, or you can get one that is recessed to blend into the style of your space.

A burner that is either manual or automated is a second option to consider. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic burner will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.

It is important that you allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the flame cools before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you will have to start over.

Most manufacturers suggest that you wait at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have enough time to properly put out the flames and ensure all flammable substances are removed from the flame. To avoid any accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol away from the reach of pets and children.

Maintenance is easy

Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. As the fuel burns, it generates a flame and heat that can be controlled with an adjustable slider (not all designs have this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns, it releases tiny amounts of soot, but this is easily cleaned by wiping 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 flammable items or supplies.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install and you don't need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a lot of flexibility when designing your home and also where you would like to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose an open-air model that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees to move the flame and heat to the desired space of your home. Some models include a remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.

A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets to allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloping one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you like 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 fire ensure that it is turned off and kept away from any flammable substances or other equipment. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner has reached the temperature of room temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it's extremely hot.
