Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are ideal to add a warm feel to any room, without the need for costly structural work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire that is available.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for the fire and you follow all safety instructions the fireplace will be operating safely.

Ease of installation

Ethanol fires are a fast and simple solution for homeowners looking to make their living spaces more attractive or make a focal point of their home decor. There is no need for chimneys and they won't produce dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your walls or ceilings.

It doesn't matter if you choose a full fire suite - such as Mano Mano's Adam Solus electric 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 simple and doesn't require any expert assistance. It is all you have to do is sure that your wall or ceiling is sturdy and adhere to the instructions of the model you select.

If you opt for a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace they are usually equipped with the hardware that allows them to be mounted as a flat-screen television or installed into the wall. It will take an experienced professional approximately one hour to put in the brackets, extensions, and find the studs.

There is also the option of manual or automatic bio ethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel away from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners operate exactly like fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it's worth remembering that the burner must be covered by non-combustible material to make sure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner properly, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful option for those looking for a dramatic 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 produce soot or ash, so there's no maintenance issues.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in different styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport a traditional wood-burning look and others have modern and sleek designs. No matter what style they all offer the same benefits: authentic flame ambience with no smoke or toxic gases.

Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models, on the other hand, are anchored to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They must also comply with certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.

The fire itself comes from a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit with a long-lasting lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes for the fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the flames are set and the fire is ablaze, you can relax, sit back and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Some ethanol fire places provide heat settings that can be adjusted. This lets you alter the amount of heat that your fireplace produces, which is useful if you want to provide more warmth than just ambiance.

A further benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes as well as modern homes that do not have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place does not produce any toxic gases or ash which could be harmful for people with respiratory problems.

Installing bioethanol 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 set up fairly quickly. You can even choose an open-air fireplace which you can take with you when you decide to relocate, making it a good option for a temporary home. It is essential to consider the installation ease when buying the fireplace electric.

No Flu

The most significant benefit of bio ethanol over traditional wood fireplaces or natural gas fires is that they don't require a chimney in order to function. This means that there's no chance of chimney fires that can result from the build-up of tar, or an obstruction in the flue.

A bio ethanol fireplace doesn't produce a lot of particles that can harm the air, which is a great thing for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there's no smoke produced by the fireplace and, therefore, it doesn't cause a bad smell in the room.

Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat up the chimney, so it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture close to the fire without having to worry about it getting caught on fire which could be hazardous.

There are a variety of designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted unit or opt for an recessed model that will fit in with the style of your room.

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

It is important that you allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refilling. Otherwise, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start over.

Most manufacturers recommend that you wait at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have enough time to safely put out the flames and ensure all materials that are flammable are kept away from the flame. To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from the reach of pets and children.

Easy maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be controlled by a slider (not all designs feature this). By altering the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.

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 keeping the burner full of the correct fuel and making sure it's a safe distance away from any flammable items or other equipment.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to set up, and you don't have to worry about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility in the design of your home, and also where you can enjoy the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing model that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees to direct the flame and heat into the desired area of your home. You can even mount a remote control onto some of the models to control the entire thing from the comfortable sofa.

Many of the bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets to allow them to be attached to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you like it, and be capable of turning it off or on and alter the flame's height, and adjust the temperature using the remote control.

If you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Also, don't attempt to add fuel to the burner until it's cooled to room temperature. Also, be careful when handling the fire as it is extremely hot.
