Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are ideal for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any space without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.

If you use only bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for the fire, and follow all safety instructions, then your fireplace should perform in a safe manner.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick option for homeowners looking to revamp their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and don't create dangerous smoke and you don't have to worry about the build-up of soot on your ceilings or walls.

Whether you opt for the complete fire suite - for example, Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at 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 does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you need to do is make sure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the instructions for the model you have chosen.

Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted have the equipment needed to mount them either like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions however, it should not take more than an hour for a professional to do so.

You can also choose of automatic or manual bioethanol burners. The automated burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames, so that it can burn longer without the danger of overheating or running out. Manual burners function the same as a fireplace, except that you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.

When you choose a burner to use in your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could become too hot and damage the fireplace.

The ethanol fire is a great option for those looking for an impressive feature to enhance their home but don't have the time or money to install wood or gas fireplaces. They're an excellent choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they do not produce soot or ash, there are no issues with maintenance or worry about.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have the traditional wood-burning appearance and others have modern and sleek designs. Regardless of the style the fireplaces electric all have the same benefits: real flame ambience without fumes or harmful gases.

Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and may require special mounting gear. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire itself is created by a burner pan situated on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full potential for flame. Once the flames have been established then it's time to relax, sit back and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.

Some ethanol fireplaces even come with adjustable heat settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which can be beneficial if you wish to provide more warmth than simply ambience.

Another benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce ash or harmful gases that could pose a risk for people with respiratory problems.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. While the exact time to install will depend on the model you choose however, the majority of them can be installed relatively quickly. You can opt for a portable freestanding fireplace that can be transported with you in the event that you relocate. This is a great option for living arrangements that are temporary. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when purchasing an electric fireplace.

No Flu

The main advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require a flue in order to function. There is no risk of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or a blockage.

A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn't create a lot of particles that could harm the air quality, which is great news for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, therefore it does not create a bad smell in the room.

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bioethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat to the chimney, and therefore can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture close to the fire without having to worry about catching a flame that could be hazardous for any valuables.

If you decide to go with a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can choose an elegant and contemporary look with a wall-mounted model or opt for a recessed version that will blend into the style of your room.

Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automated one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

When you're done using your bioethanol fireplace it's important to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the fireplace has cooled before refueling. Otherwise the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start again.

Most manufacturers recommend that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have plenty of time to extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable substances are removed from the flame. To prevent accidents, wooden fireplaces keep any spare ethanol fuel away from the reach of children and pets.

Ease of maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it generates an ember and heat that can be controlled by an adjustable slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can change the speed at which fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.

When the fuel is burned, it releases tiny amounts of soot, but this is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the fireplace is full of the correct fuel and making sure it's a safe distance away from any flammable objects or other equipment.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install and you don't have to be concerned 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 charm of your new fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding model that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to set up and some models let you rotate the unit 180 degrees, which allows you to direct the heat and flame to the desired area of the room. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.

A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that allow them to be attached to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped 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 ethanol fireplace, be sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Also, don't attempt to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Also, be careful when handling the burner as it is extremely hot.
