Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces shop can provide warmth to any room without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are the most secure fire type available.

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

Ease of installation

Ethanol fires are a quick and simple solution for homeowners who wish to make their living spaces more attractive or add a focal point to their home decor. You don't need a chimney and they don’t create dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your ceilings or walls.

If you decide to go with a full fire suite - such as 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. All you need to do is make sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and adhere to the directions for the model you select.

If you opt for a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace, most are supplied with the hardware that allows them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV or installed into the wall. You'll need to find the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions, but it shouldn't take more than an hour for a professional to do so.

You can also select between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning equipment. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. A manual burner works exactly the same way as a traditional fireplace, but you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.

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

Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the budget or time to build gas or wood fireplaces. They're a perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. And, because they do not produce soot or ash, there are no issues with maintenance, either.

Designs and styles

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in a variety of styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature an old-fashioned wood-burning style and others sport modern and sleek design. Whatever the design, each type offers the same benefits: real flames with no gas or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and may require special mounting gear. They must also meet certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

The fire itself originates from a burner pan that is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this 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 fire is lit you can relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Certain fireplaces with ethanol come with adjustable heat settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace produces.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent alternative for new homes or older ones that don't have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fireplace does not emit harmful gases or ash, which can be harmful to those with respiratory conditions.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install in your home. The exact time to install them will depend on the type of fireplace you select. However, the majority of models can be set up fairly quickly. You can also choose a freestanding portable fireplace which you can take with you if you ever relocate, which makes it an ideal choice for a temporary home. The ease of installation is an important factor for many people and it's something that should not be ignored when choosing an upgrade to your fireplace.

No flue

The major advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require a flue in order to function. In the end, there's no chance of chimney fires which could be caused by a build-up of tar or obstructions in the flue.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release many particulates, which can cause harm to the air. This is great for those suffering from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there isn't any smoke produced by the fireplace which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bioethanol fires don't lose heat up the chimney, and therefore produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture close to the fire without worrying about it catching on fire and causing danger.

There are many designs to choose from for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can pick one that is wall-mounted for a sleek, modern look or a recessed one that will blend into the design of your room.

A burner that is either manual or automated is a second option to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light the fire once the tank is empty.

It is important that you allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refueling. If you don't, the ethanol could evaporate and you'll need to start over.

Most manufacturers suggest that you wait at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have enough time to extinguish the flames, and make sure that all flammable materials are away from the flame. To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from pets and children.

Easy maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using the slider. (Not all models have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is fed to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

As the fuel burns, it creates a small amount of soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance required is keeping the burner properly fueled and ensuring it is kept away from any flammable objects or other equipment.

Another advantage of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere, without having to worry about chimneys or building regulations. This gives you a huge 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 opt for a freestanding model that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated 180 degrees to focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your home. Certain models come with remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from your couch.

For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces have brackets that permit you to attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you like it while being capable of turning it on or off and adjust the flame's height, and adjust the temperature using the remote control.

If you're not using your ethanol fireplace, make sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable items or materials. Don't pour any more fuel into the burner until the burner has reached temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it is extremely hot.
