Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are great for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any space without the expense of structure work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire you can find.

As long as you only make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fire and you follow the safety instructions, your fireplace should be very safe to operate.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fires are a simple and simple solution for homeowners who wish to transform their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. They don’t require a flue and they don’t produce dangerous smoke, so you don’t have to worry about the build up of soot on your walls or ceilings.

Whether you opt for an entire fire suite – like Mano Mano’s Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black from 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. You only need to make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong and follow the instructions of the model you select.

If you choose a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace, most are supplied with the necessary hardware to allow them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV, or recessed into the wall. It will take a professional about an hour to mount the brackets, extensions and find the studs.

You can also choose between manual and automated bioethanol burning devices. The automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so it will burn for longer without the danger of overheating or running out. A manual burner operates similarly to a traditional fireplace, but you’ll require matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is important to remember that the burner must be covered with non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you don’t cover the burner, the fire could overheat and damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are an excellent option for people who want to create a dramatic feature in their home but don’t have the funds or time to build a wood fireplace or gas fireplace. They’re the perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don’t create ash or soot, so there’s no need for maintenance.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in a variety of styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature the traditional wood-burning appearance and others have a sleek and modern design. Each type offers the same advantages, regardless of the style and ambiance without harmful fumes or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and require special mounting gear. They must also meet certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

The fire itself originates from the burner pan, which is situated at the bottom of the electric fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is ignited using an extended lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is lit you can relax and enjoy the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.

Some ethanol fire places have temperature settings that can be altered. This lets you adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.

Another benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for new homes or older homes without traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. A bio-ethanol fire does not emit harmful gasses or ash, which can be dangerous for people with respiratory conditions.

Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install inside your home. The time required to install will depend on the model that you select. However, most models can be set up fairly quickly. You can even choose a portable fireplace which you can take with you if you ever move, making it a good choice to use as a temporary living arrangement. It is important to consider the ease of installation when purchasing the fireplace.

No flue

The major advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don’t need a flue to operate. This means that there is no risk of chimney fires which could result from a build-up of tar or a blockage in the flue.

A bio-ethanol fireplace also doesn’t create a lot of particles that could harm the air quality, which is a great thing for those suffering from asthma or allergies. The fire doesn’t produce smoke, so it doesn’t create a unpleasant odor in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces generate a large amount of heat when compared to wood fireplaces-burning fires. This allows you to keep your furniture close to the flame without having to worry about it getting caught on fire which could be hazardous.

If you opt for a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can choose a wall-mounted model for modern, sleek design or a recessed model 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. A burner that is automated will automatically light the fire after the tank is completely empty.

After you’ve used your bioethanol fireplace it’s important to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the fire is cool before refilling. If you don’t do this, the ethanol could evaporate and you’ll need to start over.

Most manufacturers recommend that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so you have enough time to safely put out the flames and ensure 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.

Easy maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the fireplace inserts and lighting it. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using the slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns, it releases tiny amounts of soot, but this can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the fireplace filled with the correct fuel and to ensure it’s not in contact with dangerous materials or objects.

Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can put them almost anywhere without needing to worry about chimney regulations or building regulations. This gives you great flexibility when designing your home and the location you wish to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even choose an open-air model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated 180 degrees to move the flame and heat into the desired area of your room. You can also mount remote controls on some models to control the entire thing from the couch.

A majority of bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets to allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloping one. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you like it and still be in a position to turn it off or on and adjust the flame’s height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.

When you are not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is turned off and is away from any flammable materials or other equipment. Also, don’t pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Also, be careful when handling the burner since it is extremely hot.
