Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can bring a cozy feeling to any space without the need for expensive structure work or gas supply. They are also the most secure kind of fire you can find.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for the fire and you adhere to all safety guidelines, then your fireplace should perform safely.

Ease of installation

Ethanol fires are a quick and easy option for homeowners looking to make their living spaces more attractive or make a focal point of their home decor. They do not require a flue, and don't create dangerous smoke and you don't have to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your ceilings or walls.

If you decide to go with a full fire suite - for example, 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 simple and requires no specialist help. It is all you have to do is sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy and follow the instructions of the model you select.

Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the necessary hardware to mount them either like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs and fit the brackets and extensions, but it will not take more than one hour for professionals to do it.

You also have a choice of automatic or manual bioethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames, so that it can burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. Manual burners function the same as fireplaces, with the exception that you'll need matches or lighters to light the flames.

It's important to remember that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could overheat and damage the fireplace.

The Ethanol fireplace stove is a wonderful option for those looking for an impressive feature to bring to their home but do not have the time or money to build an electric fires or gas fireplace. They are great for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts were removed. They also do not generate soot or ash, there are no issues with maintenance or worry about.

Designs and styles

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport an old-fashioned wood-burning style and others sport a sleek and modern design. Each model comes with the same advantages regardless of style and ambiance free of harmful gasses 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 anchored to the walls and may require special mounting equipment. They must also comply with certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.

The fire is started by a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is then lit with a long 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.

Certain fireplaces with ethanol have adjustable temperature settings. This lets you adjust the amount of heat that the fireplace produces.

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes as well as modern homes that do not have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gasses or ash, which can be harmful to those suffering from respiratory ailments.

Installing bio ethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. The exact time to install them will depend on the model you select. However, most models can be installed fairly quickly. You can pick a portable freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you when you decide to move. This is an ideal option for temporary living arrangements. The ease of installation is an important factor for many consumers and is something that should not be overlooked when choosing the perfect fireplace.

No Flu

The big advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need an exhaust pipe to run. As a result, there's no chance of chimney fires that could result from the accumulation of tar or a blockage in the flue.

A bio-ethanol fireplace also doesn't produce a lot of particles that can harm the air, which is great news for those suffering from asthma or allergies. The fire does not produce smoke, which means it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.

Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bio ethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat up the chimney, and therefore can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about catching alight that could be hazardous for any valuables.

If you choose to install a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs to choose from. You can choose one that is wall-mounted for an elegant, modern fireplace appearance or a recessed model that will blend into the design of your room.

Another thing to think about is whether you'd prefer an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light your fire after the tank is completely empty.

When you've finished using your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner is cool before refilling. In the event that you don't, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start all over again.

Most manufacturers suggest that you wait at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have plenty of time to properly extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable substances are removed from the flame. To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from children and pets.

Maintenance is easy

The bio ethanol fuel is added to the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be adjusted using the slider (not all designs include this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can adjust how quickly the fuel burns and how high the flame burns.

The soot that is produced by the fuel burning is easily removed using a an easy clean cloth. The only other maintenance is to keep the burner topped up with the right fuel and to ensure it's not in contact with flammable materials or objects.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are simple to install, and you don't have to worry about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a lot of flexibility in designing your home, and the location you wish to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also opt to have a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees to direct the flame and heat to the desired space of your home. You can even put remote controls on some of the designs to have full control from the couch.

Many of the wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets to allow them to be attached to a flat ceiling or an inclined one. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it, and be able to turn it on or off 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 kept away from any flammable materials or supplies. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Also, be cautious when handling the burner since it is very hot.
