Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol
wooden fireplaces are ideal for bringing a cozy feel to any space without the expense of construction or gas supply. They are the safest kind of fire available.
If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for your fire, and follow all safety instructions then your fireplace will be operating safely.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick option for homeowners looking to transform their living area or add a focal point to their home decor. They don't require a flue and they don't produce 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 - for example, Mano Mano's Adam Solus 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. All you have to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the instructions for the model you have chosen.
The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the necessary hardware to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs and fit the brackets and extensions however it should not take more than an hour for a professional to do so.
You can also select between automatic and manual bioethanol burning devices. The automated burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so that it can burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. Manual burners work exactly like fireplaces, but you'll require matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
When choosing a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it's worth remembering that the burner must be covered with non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could overheat and damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fireplaces are a great option for people who want to create a dramatic feature in their home but don't have the money or time to set up gas or
wood fireplaces. These are ideal for new construction and renovations in which chimney breasts were removed. Since they don't produce soot or ash, there aren't any problems with maintenance or worry about.
Designs and styles
Bio ethanol fireplaces come in various styles and designs. Some are more traditional in their wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to look modern and sleek. Whatever the design the fireplaces all have the same benefits: genuine flame ambience with no smoke or toxic gases.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models, on other hand, are anchored to the wall and 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 that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is lit you can sit back and relax in the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.
Some ethanol fire places even provide heating settings that can be adjusted. This lets you alter the amount of heat that your fireplace produces.
A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not generate ash or harmful gases, which can be dangerous for people with respiratory problems.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. Although the exact time for installation depends on the model you choose, most are installed in a short time. You can even choose an open-air fireplace that you can take with you when you decide to relocate, which makes it a good choice to use as a temporary living arrangement. It is important to consider the installation ease when buying an
electric fireplace.
No Flu
The main advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't require a flue to operate. There is no risk of a chimney fire caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.
A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn't create a lot of particles that could harm the air, which is a great thing for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another benefit is that there's no smoke generated by the fire which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.
Bioethanol fireplaces generate a large amount of heat, compared to wood burning fires. This allows you to place your furniture in close proximity to the flame without having to worry about it getting caught on fire and causing danger.
If you choose to install a freestanding bioethanol fireplace There are different designs to choose from. You can select an installation on the wall for a sleek,
modern fireplace look or a recessed model that will blend into the design of your room.
Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer a manual or an automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic one will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.
It is crucial to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refueling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start over.
Most manufacturers recommend that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so that you have plenty of time to safely remove the flames, and make sure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any remaining fuel with ethanol out of reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from happening.
Maintenance is easy
The bioethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then lit. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be controlled with a slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is fed to the fire you can alter the speed at which the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
The soot created from the combustion of fuel can be easily cleaned with a an easy clean cloth. The only other requirement is to ensure that the burner is topped up with the right fuel and to ensure it's kept away from items or materials that are flammable.
Bioethanol

This gives you a huge amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home and also where you can take pleasure in the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You could even choose to have a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol
electric fireplaces can be simple to set up and some models allow you to rotate the unit 180 degrees, allowing you direct the heat and flame into the desired part of the room. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
Many of the wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped 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 still be capable of turning it on or off and alter the flame's height, and set the temperature using the remote control.
If you're not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is shut off and kept away from any flammable substances or supplies.
