Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are ideal for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room, without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are the safest fireplace type that is available.

If you use only bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for your fire and follow all safety instructions, then your fireplace should perform safely.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fires are a quick and easy solution for homeowners looking to change the look of their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't produce dangerous smoke which means you don't need to worry about the build up of soot on your ceilings or walls.

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 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. All you have to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong enough and follow the instructions for your specific model.

If you choose an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall Most come with the hardware that allows them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV or placed in the wall. You'll need to locate the studs and install the brackets and extensions however it shouldn't take more than an hour for an expert to do this.

You can also choose between automatic and manual bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners function the same as fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters to light the flames.

It's important to remember that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could become too hot and damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those looking to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to build gas or wood fireplaces. These are ideal for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they do not produce soot or ash, there are no maintenance issues to worry about also.

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. Whatever the design the fireplaces all have the same benefits: authentic flame ambience with no smoke or toxic gases.

Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.

The fire itself is created by a burner pan situated at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full flame potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.

Some ethanol fire places provide heating settings that can be altered. This allows you to customize the amount of heat that your tabletop fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want it to give you more warmth than simply ambience.

A further benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fireplace does not release harmful gasses or ash, which can be harmful to those 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, most are installed in a short time. You can even choose an open-air fireplace that you can take with you when you decide to relocate, which makes it a good choice for a temporary home. The ease of installation is a crucial factor for many people, and it is something that should not be ignored when shopping for an upgrade to your fireplace.

No flue

The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they don't require a chimney to function. There is no risk of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or a blockage.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particulates, which can cause harm to the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from allergies or asthma. The fire doesn't produce smoke, which means it does not create a unpleasant odor in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood fireplace, bioethanol fires don't lose much heat to the chimney, and therefore produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture close to the fire without worrying about it catching on fire which could be hazardous.

There are a variety of designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can select one that is wall-mounted for an elegant, modern appearance or a recessed unit that will blend into the design of your space.

A manual or automatic burner is a second aspect to consider. A manual burner requires that you light the fuel directly from the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light the fire after the tank is completely empty.

After you've used your bioethanol fireplace it is essential to let the flames completely go out and to wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. If you don't do this, the ethanol may evaporate and you will have to start again.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire so you have enough time to properly put out the flames and ensure that all flammable substances are removed from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any remaining ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then ignited. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled with the slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By altering how much oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.

The soot produced by the burning of fuel can be easily cleaned with a the help of a soft, clean cloth. The only other maintenance required is to ensure that the fireplace is properly fueled and ensuring it is kept away from any flammable objects or other equipment.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to set up 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 take pleasure in the warmth and ambiance of your new fireplace. You can even choose an open-air model that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be installed on your wall with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees to direct the flame and heat to the desired space of your home. You can also mount remote controls on some of the models to control the entire thing from the comfortable sofa.

A majority of wall fireplace-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow them to be affixed to a flat ceiling or an inclined one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you want is possible, however, you can still use the remote control to shut it off or adjust the flame's height and set the temperature.

If you're not using your ethanol fireplace, be sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable items or materials. Do not add any fuel into the burner until the burner is at temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be careful when handling it as it is extremely hot.
