Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any space without the need for costly structural work or gas supply. They are the most secure kind of fire available.
As long as you only utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically formulated for your fire and you follow the safety instructions, your fireplace should be extremely safe to use.
Installation is simple
Ethanol fires are a quick and simple solution for homeowners who wish to transform their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't produce dangerous smoke and you don't have to worry about the build-up of soot on your walls or ceilings.
If you decide to go with the complete fire suite - such as Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, from 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. All you have to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy enough and follow the guidelines for your specific model.
The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the necessary hardware to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You'll need to find the studs and fit the brackets and extensions, but it shouldn't take more than an hour for professionals to do it.
You can also choose between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning equipment. The automatic 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 works exactly the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll require matches or a lighter to light the flames.
It's important to remember when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those looking to create a striking feature in their home, but don't have the budget or time to install gas or wood fireplaces. They're an excellent choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They also don't produce soot or ash, there aren't any maintenance issues to worry about also.
Designs and styles
Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Some have a more traditional fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to look modern and sleek. Regardless of the style, each type offers the same benefits: genuine flames with no gas or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and may require special mounting gear. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.
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 the fire is then lit with a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the flames have been established, it's time to relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Certain ethanol fire places offer temperature settings that can be adjusted. This lets you customize the amount of heat your fire produces, which can be useful if you want to provide more warmth than just ambience.
A further benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for homes that are new or older homes without traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gases or ash, which can be dangerous for people suffering from respiratory ailments.
Installing bio ethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. While the exact installation time depends on the model you choose however, the majority of them can be installed relatively quickly.

No Flu
The most significant benefit of bio ethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they don't require a chimney for operation. There is no risk of a chimney fire that is caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particulates, which can harm the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from asthma or allergies. The fire doesn't produce smoke, which means it won't cause bad smell in the room.
Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat to the chimney, which means it produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture near the fire without having to worry about catching a flame that could be hazardous for any valuables.
There are several designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can select an installation on the wall for a sleek, modern look or a recessed one that will blend into the design of your room.
Another thing to consider is whether you'd prefer a manual or an automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly out of the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light your fire after the tank is completely empty.
It is crucial to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol could evaporate and you'll have to start from scratch.
Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to eliminate the flames and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any leftover ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from occurring.
Maintenance is easy
The bioethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then ignited. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using the slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is supplied to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.
When the fuel is burned, it creates tiny amounts of soot, but this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a fireplaces and stove soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the burner is full of the correct fuel and to ensure it's kept away from flammable materials or objects.

This gives you a lot of flexibility when designing your home and also where you would like to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose an open-air model that can be moved.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to set up and some models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, which allows you to direct the heat and flame towards the desired location of the room. Certain models come with remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
To maximize versatility, a lot of the plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces come with brackets that let you connect them to a flat or sloping ceiling. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you like it while being in a position to turn it off or on and alter the flame's height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.
When you are not using your ethanol fire ensure that it is off and is away from any flammable substances or equipment. Don't pour any more fuel into the burner until it has reached room temperature. Be cautious when handling it since it's extremely hot.
