Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are ideal to add a warm feel to any room without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.

If you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically formulated for your fire and you follow the safety guidelines your fireplace will be very safe to operate.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fires are a fast and easy solution for homeowners looking to transform their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. You don't need chimneys and they won't produce dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your walls or ceilings.

If you decide to go with 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 easy 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.

The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the hardware necessary to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs and fit the brackets and extensions, but it will not take more than one hour for a professional to do so.

You also have a choice of manual or automated bioethanol burners. The automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so that it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or running out. A manual burner operates exactly the same way as a traditional fireplace, but you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.

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

The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful choice for those who want an eye-catching feature to add to their home but don't have the money or time to build an electric or gas fireplace. They are perfect for new or renovated homes in which chimney breasts were removed. They don't create ash or soot, so there's no need for maintenance.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Some are more traditional in their wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to be modern and sleek. Each type offers the same advantages, regardless of design and ambiance without toxic fumes or smoke.

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

The fire itself comes from a burner pan located on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan, and the fire is ignited using an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the flames are set then it's time to relax, sit back and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.

Some ethanol fire places offer heat settings that can be adjusted. This lets you customize the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which is beneficial if you wish to give you more warmth than just ambiance.

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

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install in your home. The exact time to install them will depend on the model you choose. However, most models can be installed quickly. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace that can be taken with you when you move. This is an ideal option for living arrangements that are temporary. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when you purchase a fireplace.

No Flu

The main advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require a flue to operate. As a result, there is no chance of chimney fires that could result from the accumulation of tar or an obstruction in the flue.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particles, which could harm the air. This is great for people suffering from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there is no smoke produced by the fireplace and, therefore, it doesn't cause an unpleasant smell in the room.

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat through the chimney, and therefore can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture close to the fire without having to worry about it burning and causing danger.

If you opt for a freestanding bioethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can select one that is wall-mounted for a sleek, modern look or a recessed unit that will blend into the design of your space.

A manual or automatic burner is a second thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

When you've finished using your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is essential to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner is cool before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol could evaporate and you will have to start again.

Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you time to safely eliminate the flames and then remove any flammable material from the fire. To avoid any accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol out of reach of pets and children.

Maintenance is easy

Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it generates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled with the slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is supplied to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

The soot produced by the fuel burning is easily removed using a a soft, clean cloth. The only other maintenance required is keeping the burner properly fueled and making sure it's a safe distance away from any flammable items or equipment.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere without worrying about building regulations or chimneys. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home and also where you can take pleasure in the warmth and ambiance of your new fireplace. You can also opt to have a free-standing fireplace that you can move from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to install, and certain models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you direct the heat and flame towards the desired location of the room. You can even mount an electronic remote control on some designs to have full control from the comfortable sofa.

For maximum versatility, many of the plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow you to attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you like it, and be in a position to turn it off or on, adjust the flame height, and adjust the temperature using the remote control.

When you are not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is shut off and kept away from any flammable substances or equipment. Do not add any fuel into the burner until the burner has reached room temperature. Be careful when handling it because it is very hot.
