Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are great to add a warm feel to any space without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.

If you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically formulated for your fireplace and adhere to the safety guidelines the fireplace will be safe to operate.

Ease of installation

Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick solution for homeowners who want to make their living space more attractive or add a focal piece to their home decor. You don’t require chimneys and they don’t emit dangerous smoke. Soot won’t accumulate on your walls or ceilings.

Whether you opt for an entire 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 can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and requires no specialist help. All you need to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong enough and follow the directions for your specific model.

If you decide to install an ethanol fireplace that is wall-mounted they are usually equipped with the necessary hardware to allow them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV, or placed in the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to put in the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.

There is also the option of manual or automatic bio ethanol burners. The automatic burner keeps the fuel from the flames so it will burn for longer without the danger of overheating or running out of. Manual burners work exactly like fireplaces, but you will need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

It’s important to remember when selecting a bioethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could become too hot and damage the tabletop fireplace.

The ethanol fire is a great alternative for those looking to have an impressive feature to add to their home but don’t have the money or time to set up wood fireplace or gas fireplaces. They are perfect for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts have been removed. They don’t produce soot or ash, which means there are no maintenance concerns.

Designs and styles

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in a variety of styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport the traditional wood-burning appearance and others have modern and sleek designs. Every type of fireplace has the same benefits, regardless of the style that is a genuine flame atmosphere free of harmful gases or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and require special mounting gear. They also have to meet certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire itself comes from a burner pan situated at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan and then the fire is ignited using a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.

Certain fireplaces with ethanol have adjustable temperature settings. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat that the fireplace produces.

Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent alternative for new homes or older homes without traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place doesn’t produce toxic gases or ash, which can be dangerous for those suffering from respiratory issues.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install inside your home. The exact installation time will depend on the type of fireplace you choose. However, most models can be set up fairly quickly. You can opt for an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you when you decide to move. This is an ideal option for living arrangements that are temporary. The ease of installation is an important aspect for many buyers and is something that should not be ignored when shopping for an upgrade to your fireplace.

No flu

The big benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don’t require a flue to operate. This means that there is no chance of chimney fires that could be caused by a build-up of tar or an obstruction in the flue.

A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn’t produce a lot of particles that can harm the air, which is good news for those suffering from allergies or asthma. The fireplace doesn’t release smoke, which means it does not create a bad odor in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bioethanol fires don’t lose much heat to the chimney, so 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 catching on fire, which could be dangerous.

There are a variety of designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted model or opt for one that is recessed to blend in with the design of your space.

A manual or automatic burner is a different thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel from the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light your fire after the tank is completely empty.

When you’ve finished using your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is essential to let the flames completely burn out and to wait until the fireplace is cool before refilling. In the event that you don’t the ethanol will evaporate and you’ll need to start over.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you wait at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure you have enough time to safely extinguish the flames, and make sure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the flame. To prevent accidents, keep any remaining fuel ethanol away from children and pets.

Easy maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces a flame and heat that can be controlled by an adjustable slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering how much oxygen is supplied to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.

When the fuel is burned, it produces a small amount of soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the fireplace full of the correct fuel and to ensure it’s not in contact with dangerous materials or objects.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are simple to install, and you don’t have to worry about chimneys or building codes. This provides you with a large amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home, and also where you can enjoy the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You can also opt to have a free-standing fireplace that you can move from room to room.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated by 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the flame and heat into the desired area of your home. You can even put a remote control onto certain models to control the entire thing from the couch.

Many of the wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets to allow them to be attached to a flat ceiling or sloped one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you want is possible, but you can still make use of the remote control to shut it off or adjust the flame’s height and set the temperature.

If you’re not using your ethanol burner, make sure that it is shut off and is away from any flammable materials or other equipment. Do not add any 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.
