Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are ideal for bringing a cozy feel to any room without the expense of structure work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire that is available.

If you use only bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for your fire, and follow all safety instructions the fireplace will perform safely.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fires are a simple and easy option for homeowners who want to transform their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. They do not require a flue, and don't create dangerous smoke which means you don't need to worry about the build-up of soot 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, available at PS569 - or an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is easy and requires no specialist help. All you need to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy and adhere to the instructions of the model you select.

Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted include 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 however, it will not take more than one hour for an expert to do this.

You also have a choice of automatic or manual bioethanol burners. An automatic burner will keep the fuel away from the flames, which means it will burn longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners work the same as a fireplace, except that 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 needs to be covered by non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner properly, it could cause the electric fire to overheat. This can damage the fireplace electric.

The Ethanol fire is a fantastic choice for those who want an eye-catching feature to bring to their home but don't have the money or time to build wood or gas fireplaces. They're the perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce soot or ash, which means there are no maintenance concerns.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in a variety of styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have an old-fashioned wood-burning style and others have modern fireplace and sleek designs. Every type of fireplace comes with the same advantages regardless of style: a real flame ambience without toxic gases or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models, on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.

The fire itself originates from a burner pan situated at the bottom of the fireplace stove. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is then lit with a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full flame potential. Once the flames have been established then it's time to relax, sit back and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.

Some ethanol fireplaces even come with adjustable temperature settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat that the fireplace produces.

Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimneys or flues. This makes them a great option for new homes or older homes that do not have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not produce any ash or harmful gases that could pose a risk for those suffering from respiratory issues.

Installing bio ethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. While the exact installation time is dependent on the model you choose, most are installed in a short time. You can even choose a freestanding portable fireplace that you can carry with you in the event of a relocate, making it a good option for a temporary home. The ease of installation is a key aspect for many buyers and is something that should not be overlooked when choosing an upgrade to your fireplace.

No Flu

The big advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need a flue in order to function. There is no danger 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 people who suffer from allergies or asthma. The fire does not produce smoke, which means it does not create a bad smell in the room.

Bio ethanol fireplaces produce lots of heat, compared to wood burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the fire without worrying about catching fire which could be dangerous for your valuables.

There are a variety of designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can select an installation on the wall for a sleek, modern look or a recessed model that will blend into the design of your room.

Another thing to consider is whether you want either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires that you light the fuel directly out of the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light your fire after the tank is completely empty.

When you've finished using your bio ethanol fireplace, it is important to let the flames burn out completely and to wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. If you don't, the ethanol could evaporate and you will have to start from scratch.

The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to eliminate the flames and remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any spare fuel with ethanol out of reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from occurring.

Easy maintenance

The bio ethanol fuel is added to the burner and then lit. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled with the slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is fed to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.

The soot created by the fuel burning can be easily cleaned with a the help of a soft clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and ensuring that it is not too far from any flammable objects or supplies.

This gives you great flexibility when designing your home and where you want to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt to have a free-standing model that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be incorporated into walls with ease, and some models can be rotated 180 degrees, allowing you to move the flame and heat to the desired space of your room. You can even mount remote controls on some designs to have full control from the couch.

A majority of bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets to allow them to be attached to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it and still be capable of turning it on or off, adjust the flame height, and set the temperature using the remote control.

When you are not using your ethanol flame ensure that it is shut off and kept away from any flammable materials or supplies. Do not add any fuel into the burner until the burner is at room temperature. Be cautious when handling it since it's extremely hot.
