Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are great for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room without the expense of construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of electric fire available.

If you use only bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for the fire and adhere to all safety guidelines, then your fireplace should be operating in a safe manner.

Easy installation

Ethanol fires are a simple and easy option for homeowners who wish to change the look of their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. You don't need chimneys and they won't produce dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.

It doesn't matter if you choose 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 doesn't require any expert assistance. You only need to make sure that your ceiling or wall is strong and follow the directions for the model you choose.

Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted include the equipment needed to install them as a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It will take an experienced professional around an hour to put in the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.

You can also pick between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning equipment. The automated burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames, so that 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 need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

It is important to keep in mind that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those looking to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the budget or time to build gas or wood fireplaces. They're an excellent 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 maintenance issues.

Designs and styles

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport a traditional wood-burning look and others have modern fireplace and sleek designs. Regardless of the style, each type offers the same benefits: real flames with no gas or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models, on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

The fire itself originates from the burner pan, which is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the flames have been established then it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Some ethanol fire places offer heating settings that can be adjusted. This lets you adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.

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. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce toxic gases or ash which could be harmful for those suffering from respiratory issues.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also easy. While the exact time to install depends on the model you choose the majority can be installed fairly quickly. You can opt for a portable freestanding fireplace (see) that can be taken with you in the event that you relocate. This is a great option for temporary living arrangements. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when you purchase the fireplace.

No Flu

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

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create numerous particles that could affect the air. This is a great thing for people suffering from allergies or asthma. The fire doesn't produce smoke, therefore it won't cause unpleasant odor in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces generate lots of heat compared to wood-burning fires. This lets you place your furniture in close proximity to the fire without worrying about it getting caught on fire which could be hazardous.

There are a variety of designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can select one that is wall-mounted for modern, sleek design or a recessed one that will blend into the design of your room.

A manual or automatic burner is a different thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

After you've used your bioethanol fire fireplace it's important to let the flames completely burn out and to wait until the fire is cool before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol may evaporate and you will have to start again.

Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to safely eliminate the flames and remove any flammable materials from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from the reach of pets and children.

Easy maintenance

The bio ethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then lit. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled by the slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can adjust the speed at which fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.

The soot that is produced by the fuel burning can be easily removed with a soft clean cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is keeping the burner filled with the correct fuel and freestanding fireplace ensuring it is kept away from any flammable objects or other equipment.

Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere, without worrying about chimney regulations or building regulations. This provides you with a large amount of flexibility in the design of your home and where you can take pleasure in the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding fireplace that is portable.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated 180 degrees to direct the flame and heat to the desired space of your room. You can even mount an electronic remote control on some of the models to control the entire thing from the couch.

For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that let you connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. The fireplace stove can be installed wherever you want is possible, however, you can still use the remote control to turn it off and adjust the flame's height as well as adjust the temperature.

When you are not using your ethanol fire ensure that it is shut off and is away from any flammable substances or equipment. Also, don't attempt to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled to room temperature and always be careful when handling the burner as it will be very hot.
