Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces wood can bring a cozy feeling to any space, without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.

As long as you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically designed for your fireplace and adhere to the safety guidelines your fireplace will be extremely safe to use.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fires are a fast and simple solution for homeowners who wish to transform their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't release dangerous smoke and you don't have to worry about the build-up of soot on your ceilings or walls.

If you decide to go with the complete fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol ethonal 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 easy and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you have to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is sturdy enough and follow the instructions for your specific model.

If you choose a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace they are usually equipped with the fittings that allow them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV, or recessed into the wall. You'll need to find the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions, but it shouldn't take more than an hour for an expert to do this.

You can also pick between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning devices. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames so it can burn for longer without the danger of overheating or running out of. Manual burners work similar to a fireplace, except that you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.

When choosing a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner needs to be covered with non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those looking to create a dramatic focal point in their home but don't have the money or time to install a wood or gas fireplace. They are great for new construction and renovations in which chimney breasts were removed. Since they do not generate soot or ash, there are no issues with maintenance also.

Styles and designs

There are a number of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces come in. Some have a more traditional fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to be modern and sleek. No matter what style, each type offers the same benefits: genuine flame ambience with no fumes or harmful gases.

Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

The fire itself is created by a burner pan that is situated on the bottom of the marble fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is lit using an extended lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is lit you can relax and enjoy your home's warm atmosphere.

Certain ethanol fire places have heating settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want to give you more warmth than just ambience.

Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gases or ash, which are dangerous to people suffering from respiratory ailments.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also easy. While the exact time to install will depend on the model you select, most can be installed relatively quickly. You can also opt for a portable fireplace that you can carry with you when you decide to move, making it a good choice for a temporary home. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when purchasing a fireplace.

No flue

The biggest advantage of bio ethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they do not require a chimney for operation. There is no risk of a chimney fire caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.

A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce many particles, which could harm the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another benefit is that there isn't any smoke that is produced by the fire and therefore it doesn't create an unpleasant smell in the room.

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bio ethanol fires don't lose heat through the chimney, and therefore can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture close to the fire without worrying about it getting caught on fire, which could be dangerous.

There are several designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted unit or opt for a recessed version that will blend into the style of your room.

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

After you've used your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely go out and to wait until the fireplace is cool before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol could evaporate and you'll have to start from scratch.

Most manufacturers suggest that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so that you have enough time to safely extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable substances are removed from the flame. To prevent accidents, keep any remaining fuel ethanol out of reach of pets and children.

Ease of maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be controlled with a slider (not all designs include this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can adjust the speed at which fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.

When the fuel is burned, it releases a small amount of soot, which can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement is to ensure that the burner is topped up with the right fuel and ensure that it's kept away from dangerous materials or objects.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install and you don't need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you great flexibility when designing your home and where you want to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees, allowing you to move the flame and heat to the desired space of your home. Some models include a remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from your couch.

For maximum versatility, many of the plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that let you connect them to a flat or sloping ceiling. This allows you to install 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 ethanol fireplace, 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 has cooled to room temperature. Always be careful when handling the burner as it is extremely hot.
