Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can provide an inviting atmosphere to any room, without the need for expensive structure work or gas supply. They are the most secure fire type available.

As long as you use bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fire and follow the safety guidelines the fireplace will be extremely safe to use.

Installation is simple

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 require chimneys and they don't emit dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.

It doesn't matter if you choose the complete 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 doesn't require any expert assistance. All you need to do is make sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and adhere to the instructions of the model you select.

Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the hardware necessary to mount them like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. You'll need to find the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions however, it shouldn't take more than an hour for professionals to do it.

There is also the option of manual or automatic bioethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners operate similar to fireplaces, with the exception that you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.

When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This can damage the marble fireplace.

The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful alternative for those looking to have a dramatic feature to add to their home, but don't have the money or time to install wood or gas fireplaces. These are ideal for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create soot or ash, which means there's no need for maintenance.

Styles and designs

There are many different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces come in. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport the traditional wood-burning appearance and others sport a sleek and modern design. No matter what style, each type offers the same benefits: genuine flame ambience without gas or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls 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 that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan and then the fire is then lit with a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the flames have been established then it's time to relax, unwind and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.

Some ethanol fire places even offer heat settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for new homes or older homes without traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gases or ash that are dangerous to people suffering from respiratory ailments.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also simple. While the exact installation time depends on the model you select however, the majority of them can be installed relatively quickly. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace that can be taken with you in the event that you relocate. This is a great choice for living arrangements that are temporary. It is important to consider the ease of installation when you purchase a fireplace.

No flu

The most significant benefit of bio ethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they do not require a chimney for operation. There is no risk of a chimney fire caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.

A bio-ethanol fireplace suite doesn't produce many particulates, which can cause harm to the air. This is great for people with allergies or asthma. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, therefore it doesn't create a unpleasant odor in the room.

Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose a lot of heat up the chimney, which means it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture close to the fire without worrying about it getting caught on fire which could be hazardous.

If you decide to go with a freestanding bioethanol fireplace There are different designs to choose from. You can opt for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted unit or choose a recessed version that will blend into the style of your space.

Another thing to consider is whether you want a manual or an automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic one will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.

It is important that you let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refilling. Otherwise the ethanol will vaporize and you'll have to start over.

Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This gives you time to safely eliminate the flames and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any remaining fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Maintenance ease

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled with a slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By altering how much oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel burns, and how high the flame burns.

When the fuel is burned, it produces some soot, but this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace stove with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and making sure it is not too far from any flammable objects or equipment.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere, without worrying about chimney regulations or building regulations. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility when it comes to the design of your home and also where you can enjoy the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding fireplace that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install, and certain models allow you to rotate the unit 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the flame and heat to the desired area of the room. You can also mount remote controls on some designs to have full control from the couch.

Many wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow them to be affixed to a flat ceiling or an inclined one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you'd like is possible however, you'll still be able to use the remote control to turn off the fireplace and adjust the flame's height as well as set the temperature.

When you are not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is shut off and kept away from any flammable materials or equipment. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner has reached room temperature. Be careful when handling it because it is extremely hot.
