Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are great for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any space without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire you can find.

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

Installation is simple

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

It doesn't matter if you choose a full fire suite - for example, Mano Mano's Adam Solus fireplace Suite (www.fireplacesandstove.com) 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 easy and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you need to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong enough and follow the directions for your specific model.

If you choose an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall 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 will take an experienced professional around an hour to put in the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.

There is also the option of automatic or manual bio ethanol burners. An automatic burner will keep 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 similarly to 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 selecting a bioethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not 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 striking feature in their home but don't have the funds or time to set up a wood or gas fireplace. They're a perfect option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they don't produce soot or ash, there's no maintenance issues to worry about also.

Styles and designs

There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some have a more traditional wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to look sleek and modern. Each model has the same benefits, regardless of style and ambiance free of harmful gases or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and may require special mounting gear. They also must meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.

The fire is made through a burner pan, which is located at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan and then the fire is lit using a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full flame potential. Once the flames are established, it's time to relax, sit back and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.

Some ethanol fire places even have temperature settings that can be adjusted. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want to provide more warmth than simply ambience.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for homes that are new or older ones that don't have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. A bio-ethanol fireplace does not release harmful gasses or ash, which can be harmful to those suffering from respiratory ailments.

Installing bio ethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. The exact installation time will depend on the type of fireplace you select. However, the majority of models can be installed fairly quickly. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you in the event that you relocate. This is a great choice for living arrangements that are temporary. The ease of installation is an important factor for many people, and it is something that should not be overlooked when looking for a new fireplace.

No Flu

The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is the fact that they don't require a chimney in order to function. This means that there is no chance of chimney fires that could be caused by a build-up of tar or a blockage in the flue.

A bio-ethanol fireplace also doesn't produce a lot of particles that could harm the air, which is great news for those who suffer from allergies or asthma. The fire doesn't produce smoke, so it won't cause bad smell in the room.

Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose a lot of heat to the chimney, which means it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This lets you keep your furniture close to the fire without worrying about it burning, which could be dangerous.

If you opt for a freestanding bioethanol fireplace, there are a few options to pick from. You can pick one that is wall-mounted for a sleek, modern look or a recessed one that will blend into the design of your space.

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

When you've finished using your bioethanol fireplace it's important to let the flames completely burn out and to wait until the fireplace is cool before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll need to start over.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so that you have plenty of time to safely extinguish the flames and ensure that all flammable substances are removed from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any remaining fuel ethanol away from pets and children.

Easy maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled by the slider. (Not all models have this feature). By altering how much oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

The soot created by the burning of fuel is easily removed using a the help of a soft clean cloth. The only other maintenance required is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and making sure it is kept away from any flammable items or supplies.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can put them almost anywhere, without needing to worry about chimneys or building regulations. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility in the design of your home and where you can take pleasure in the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You can also choose an open-air model that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees to move the flame and heat into the desired area of your room. You can even put remote controls on some designs to take full control from the comfort of your sofa.

Many wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets to enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. Installing the fireplace wherever you'd like is possible however, you can still use the remote control to turn it off or adjust the flame's height and set temperature.

When you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Don't pour any more fuel into the burner until the burner has reached the temperature of room temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it is very hot.
