Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are ideal to add a warm feel to any space without the need for expensive structural work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire that is available.
As long as you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically formulated for your fire and you follow the safety instructions, your fireplace should be extremely safe to use.
Ease of installation
Ethanol fires are a simple and easy solution for homeowners who wish to transform their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. There is no need for a chimney and they don’t produce dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.
If you decide to go with an entire 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 can 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 need to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the guidelines for your specific model.
Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the hardware necessary to mount them either like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. You'll need to find the studs and fit the brackets and extensions, but it will not take more than one hour for a professional to do so.
You can also choose between automatic and manual
bioethanol fire burning devices. The automated burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. A manual burner operates exactly the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need matches or a lighter to light the flames.
It is important to keep in mind that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could overheat and damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those who want to create a striking feature in their home but don't have the funds or time to install a wood or gas fireplace. They are perfect for renovations and new homes where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate soot or ash, which means there are no maintenance concerns.
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 be sleek and modern. Whatever the design the fireplaces all have the same benefits: authentic flames with no gas or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models, on other hand, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.
The fire is started by a burner pan that is located at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is lit using an extended lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is lit you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.
Certain fireplaces with ethanol have adjustable heating settings. This lets you adjust the amount of heat the 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 as well as newer homes without chimney breasts or traditional
fireplaces electric. Bio-ethanol Fires (

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install inside your home. While the exact time to install will depend on the model you choose however, the majority of them are installed in a short time. You can also opt for a freestanding portable fireplace that you can take with you if you ever move, making it an ideal option to use as a temporary living arrangement. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when purchasing a fireplace.
No flu
The big advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't require an exhaust pipe to run. This means that there is no chance of chimney fires that can result from the accumulation of tar or obstructions in the flue.
A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce many particulates, which can affect the air. This is beneficial for people with allergies or asthma. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, which means it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.
As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bio ethanol fires don't lose heat up the chimney, which means it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the flame without worrying about catching alight which could be dangerous for your valuables.
There are several designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for a sleek and modern look by installing it on the wall or choose a recessed version that will blend into the style of your space.
Another thing to think about is whether you'd prefer an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.
After you've used your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is important to let the flames completely go out and to wait until the fire is cool before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll need to start from scratch.
Most manufacturers recommend that you wait at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have plenty of time to properly remove the flames and ensure all flammable substances are removed from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any remaining ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from happening.
Maintenance ease
The bio ethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled by a slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is fed to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.
The soot produced by the burning of fuel can be easily removed with the help of a soft clean cloth. The only other requirement is to keep the burner filled with the correct fuel and ensure that it's not in contact with dangerous materials or objects.
Another advantage of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere without needing to worry about chimneys or building regulations. This gives you a lot of flexibility when designing your home and where you want to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt for an open-air model that can be moved.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to set up and some models allow you to rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you direct the heat and flame to the desired area of the room. Certain models come with remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces come with brackets that permit you to connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you like it and still be in a position to turn it off or on and alter the flame's height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.
When you are not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is off and is away from any flammable materials or supplies.
