Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can provide a cozy feeling to any room, without the need for costly construction work or gas supply. They are the most secure fireplace type that is available.

If you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically formulated for your fire and follow the safety instructions, your fireplace should be very safe to operate.

Installation is simple

Ethanol wooden fireplaces are an easy and quick solution for homeowners who want to revamp their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. You don't need a chimney and they don’t produce dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your walls or ceilings.

It doesn't matter if you choose the complete 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 is able to 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 ensure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy enough and follow the instructions for the specific model.

If you opt for an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall, most are supplied with the fittings that allow them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV or recessed into the wall. It takes an experienced professional around an hour to mount the brackets, extensions, and find the studs.

You can also choose of automatic or manual bioethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel away from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without running out or overheating. A manual burner works similarly to a traditional fireplace, however you'll need matches or lighters to ignite 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 with non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This can damage the fireplace.

The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful alternative for those looking to have an impressive feature to add to their home but don't have the time or money to build a gas or wood fireplace. They're the perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate soot or ash, which means there's no need for maintenance.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in different styles and designs. Some are more traditional in their fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to be modern and sleek. Each model comes with the same advantages regardless of style that is a genuine flame atmosphere without toxic gases or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire itself originates from a burner pan situated on the bottom of the fireplace electric. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is lit with a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is lit, you can relax and enjoy your home's warm atmosphere.

Some ethanol fire places even offer heating settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which can be beneficial if you wish to provide more warmth than just ambiance.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent alternative for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gases or ash that can be harmful to those who suffer from respiratory issues.

Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install in your home. While the exact installation time is dependent on the model you choose, most are installed in a short time. You can also opt for a freestanding portable fireplace that you can take with you in the event of a relocate, which makes it a great choice to use as a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a key factor for many people and is something that should not be overlooked when shopping for the perfect fireplace.

No Flu

The big advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require a flue to operate. In the end, there is no chance of chimney fires that can result from a build-up of tar or a blockage in the flue.

A bio-ethanol marble fireplace doesn't produce many particulates, which can harm the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there's no smoke that is produced by the fire which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bioethanol fires don't lose heat to the chimney, which means it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This allows you to place your furniture in close proximity to the flame without worrying about it getting caught on fire and causing danger.

If you choose to install a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs you can choose from. You can select an installation on the wall for an elegant, modern appearance or a recessed one which will blend in with the design of your room.

A manual or automatic burner is another thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light the fire once the tank is empty.

It is crucial to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the burner cools before refilling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will vaporize and you'll need to start all over again.

The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will give you time to safely extinguish the flames, and remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any remaining ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then lit. As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be adjusted using a slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can adjust the speed at which the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.

The soot that is produced from the combustion of fuel is easily removed using a a soft, clean cloth. The only other maintenance is to keep the fireplace topped up with the right fuel and to ensure it's not in contact with flammable materials or objects.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them virtually anywhere without having to worry about chimney regulations or building regulations. This gives you great flexibility in the design of your home and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees, allowing you to focus the heat and flame to the desired location of your home. Some models come with a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces have brackets that let you attach them to a flat or sloping ceiling. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you like it, and be capable of turning it off or on and alter the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

If you're not using your ethanol fireplace, make sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Don't pour any more fuel into the burner until the burner has reached the temperature of room temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it is very hot.
