You'll have to locate the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions however, it will not take more than one hour for professionals to do it.
There is also the option of manual or automated bio ethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners work the same as fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
It is important to keep in mind that when choosing a bio ethanol 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 flame could become too hot and damage the fireplace.
The ethanol fire is a great choice for those who want an impressive feature to bring to their home but do not have the time or budget to build wood or gas fireplaces. They're an excellent choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce soot or ash, which means there's no need for maintenance.
Designs and styles
There are a number of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces come in. Some bio ethanol
fireplaces wood have a traditional wood-burning look and others have modern and sleek design. Whatever the design, each type offers the same benefits: genuine flames with no gas or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models, on the other hand, are anchored to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable materials.
The fire itself is created by a burner pan situated on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit with a long lighter. The process takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full potential for flame. Once the fire is lit you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.
Certain ethanol fire places have heat settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fire produces, which is beneficial if you wish to provide more warmth than simply ambience.
Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for older homes or newer homes without chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gasses or ash, which are dangerous to people who suffer from respiratory issues.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install inside your home. The exact time to install them will depend on the model you choose. However, most models can be set up fairly quickly.

No Flu
The biggest advantage of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they don't require a chimney for operation. There is no danger of a chimney fire caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.
A bio
ethanol fireplace also does not produce many particulates that can damage the air quality, which is a great thing for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. The fire does not produce smoke, therefore it won't cause unpleasant odor in the room.
As opposed to a wood-burning
white fireplace bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat through the chimney, so it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture near the fire without worrying about catching fire, which could be dangerous for your valuables.
If you decide to go with a freestanding bioethanol fireplace, there are a few options to pick from. You can go for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted model or opt for a recessed version that will fit in with the style of your space.
Another thing to consider is whether you want a manual or an automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light the fire once the tank is empty.
It is essential to allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll need to start from scratch.
The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to safely remove the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any spare fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from occurring.
Maintenance is easy
The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it creates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be adjusted using a slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is pumped into the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns it creates tiny amounts of soot, but this is easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement is to ensure that the burner is full of the correct fuel and ensure that it's not in contact with items or materials that are flammable.
Another advantage of bio
ethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere without needing to worry about chimney regulations or building regulations. This gives you great flexibility when designing your home and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding model that is portable.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees, allowing you to focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your living space. Some models come with a remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from your couch.
Many of the wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets to enable them to be fixed to a flat ceiling or sloping one. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you want it while being in a position to turn the flame off or on, adjust the flame height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.
When you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Do not pour 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 very hot.
