Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can provide an inviting atmosphere to any room, without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are also the most secure kind of fire you can find.
If you only use bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for the fire, and adhere to all safety rules, then your fireplace should perform safely.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick option for homeowners looking to transform their living area or add a focal piece to their home decor. You don't need chimneys and they won't create dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.
It doesn't matter if you choose an entire fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus
Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, from PS569 or an independent model that can 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 have to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the guidelines for the specific model.

fireplace insert mounted on the wall Most come with the hardware that allows them to be mounted like a flat-screen TV, or placed in the wall. It takes a professional about an hour to install the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.
You can also select between manual and automated bio ethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners function the same as fireplaces, but you will need matches or lighters to light the flames.
It is important to keep in mind that when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing gets in 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.
The ethanol fire is a great option for those looking for an eye-catching feature to add to their home but do not have the time or money to install wood or gas fireplaces. They're an excellent option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. And, because they do not generate soot or ash, there aren't any maintenance issues to worry about, either.
Designs and styles
Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Some have a more traditional
marble fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. Each model offers the same advantages, regardless of style: a real flame ambience without harmful fumes or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models on the contrary, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.
The fire is started through a burner pan, which is located in the middle of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full flame potential. Once the fire is lit you can relax and enjoy the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.
Some ethanol fire places offer heat settings that can be adjusted. This lets you alter the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.
Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimneys or flues. This makes them a great option for homes that are new or older homes that do not have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not produce any gas or ash, which can be dangerous for those suffering from respiratory issues.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install inside your home. While the exact installation time depends on the model you select, most can be installed relatively quickly. You can pick a portable freestanding fireplace which can be carried with you if ever you relocate. This is a great choice for living arrangements that are temporary. It is crucial to think about the ease of installation when you purchase the fireplace.
No Flu
The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is the fact that they do not require a chimney to function. There is no danger of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or a blockage.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particles, which could harm the air. This is beneficial for people with asthma or allergies. The fire does not produce smoke, which means it won't cause unpleasant odor in the room.
In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bioethanol fires don't lose heat through the chimney, so it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This allows you to place your furniture in close proximity to the flame without worrying about it catching on fire and causing danger.
If you opt for a freestanding bio ethanol
fireplace stove there are options to pick from. You can select an installation on the wall for a sleek, modern look or a recessed one that blends into the design of your space.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a different aspect to consider. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel from the reservoir. An automatic burner will light your fire automatically after the tank is completely empty.
It is important that you let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol could evaporate and you'll have to start from scratch.
Most manufacturers suggest that you wait at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire so you have enough time to safely extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable substances are removed from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any remaining ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from occurring.
Maintenance is easy
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be adjusted using the slider (not all designs feature this). By changing the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.
The soot created from the combustion of fuel can be easily cleaned with a a soft clean cloth. The only other thing to do is keeping the burner properly fueled and ensuring it is not too far from any flammable objects or equipment.
Another benefit of bioethanol
electric fires is that you can put them almost anywhere without needing to worry about chimney regulations or building regulations. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home, and also where you can enjoy the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can even opt for an open-air model that is portable.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol
fireplaces wood can be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees to focus the heat and flame into the desired area of your home. You can also mount a remote control onto some of the designs to have full control from the comfort of your sofa.
A majority of bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets that enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloping one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you'd like is possible however, you'll still be able to make use of the remote control to turn it off and adjust the flame's height as well as adjust the temperature.
When you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable items or materials.
