Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can provide an inviting atmosphere to any space without the need for costly construction work or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.

If you use bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fireplace and adhere to the safety instructions your fireplace will be safe to operate.

Ease of installation

Ethanol fires are a fast and easy solution for homeowners who want to transform their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't release dangerous smoke and you don't have to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your walls or ceilings.

Whether you opt for an entire fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus fireplace suite (Www.Fireplacesandstoves.uk) 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 easy and doesn't require any expert assistance. You only need to make sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy and adhere to the directions of the model you pick.

If you opt for a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace, most are supplied with the hardware that allows them to be mounted like a flat-screen TV or installed into the wall. It will take a professional about an hour to put in the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.

There is also the option of automatic or manual bioethanol burners. An automatic burner will keep the fuel away from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without running out or overheating. A manual burner operates in the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or a lighter to light the flames.

When choosing a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.

The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful alternative for those looking to have a dramatic feature to enhance their home but don't have the time or budget to build an electric or gas fireplace. They're an excellent option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce soot or ash, so there's no maintenance issues.

Designs and styles

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in different styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. Every type of fireplace has the same benefits, regardless of the style that is a genuine flame atmosphere without harmful gasses or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and may require specialized mounting gear. They must also comply with certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.

The fire itself comes from the burner pan, which is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is then lit with an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full flame potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.

Certain fireplaces with ethanol have adjustable heating settings. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fire produces, which is useful if you want it to give you more warmth than just ambience.

Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes as well as newer ones that don't have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place doesn't produce toxic gases or ash that could pose a risk for those suffering from respiratory issues.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. The exact time to install them will depend on the type of fireplace you select. However, most models can be installed fairly quickly. You can pick an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be transported with you in the event that you move. This is a great option for living arrangements that are temporary. The ease of installation is a crucial factor for many people, and it is something that should not be ignored when choosing a new fireplace.

No Flu

The main benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need a flue in order to function. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.

A bio ethanol fireplace doesn't create 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, therefore it does not create a bad smell in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose a lot of heat through the chimney, and therefore can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture close to the fire without worrying about catching alight which could be dangerous for your valuables.

There are several designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for an elegant and contemporary look by installing it on the wall or opt for a recessed version that will blend into the style of your space.

Another thing to think about is whether you want either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly out of the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light your fire after the tank is completely empty.

It is essential to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol may evaporate and you'll need to start again.

Most manufacturers suggest that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have enough time to properly remove the flames and ensure all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any remaining fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using an adjustable slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel burns and how high the flame burns.

The soot that is produced by the burning of fuel can be easily removed with a soft, clean 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.

Another benefit 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 lot of flexibility when designing your home and the location you wish to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to set up and some models let you rotate the unit 180 degrees, allowing you to the flame and heat to be directed towards the desired location of the room. You can also mount an electronic remote control on certain designs to take full control from the couch.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces have brackets that allow you to connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. The fireplace can be installed wherever you want is possible, but you can still use the remote control to turn off the fireplace and adjust the flame's height as well as adjust the temperature.

If you're not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is off and kept away from any flammable materials or equipment. Also, don't attempt to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled to room temperature and always be careful when handling the fire as it is very hot.
