Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can give an inviting atmosphere to any space without the need for expensive construction work or gas supply. They are also the safest type of fire available.

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

Easy installation

Ethanol fires are a fast and easy solution for homeowners looking to change the look of their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. You don't need chimneys and they won't create dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.

It doesn't matter if you choose a full fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus fireplace insert suite (click the following document) 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. You only need to make sure that your wall or ceiling is sturdy and follow the directions of the model you choose.

Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted come with the necessary hardware to mount them like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. You'll need to find the studs and install the brackets and extensions, but it shouldn't take more than an hour for an expert to do this.

You can also select between manual and automated bioethanol burning devices. The automatic burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so it can burn for longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. A manual burner operates similarly to a traditional fireplace, but you'll need 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 white fireplace.

Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those who want to create a striking feature in their home but don't have the budget or time to build a wood or gas fireplace. They're an excellent choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create soot or ash, which means there are no maintenance concerns.

Styles and designs

There are many different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport the traditional wood-burning appearance and others have modern and sleek designs. Each model comes with the same advantages regardless of design: a real flame ambience without harmful gases or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models, on contrary, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire is created through a burner pan, which is located on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. The process takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its maximum flame potential. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.

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

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for new homes or older ones that don't have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place doesn't produce gas or ash, which can be dangerous for people with respiratory problems.

Installing bio ethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. While the exact installation time is dependent on the model you select the majority are installed in a short time. You can pick a portable freestanding fireplace which can be transported with you if ever you decide to move. This is an ideal option for living arrangements that are temporary. The ease of installation is a crucial factor for many people and it's something that should not be ignored when shopping for a new fireplace.

No flue

The major benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require a flue in order to function. As a result, there is no chance of chimney fires that can be caused by a build-up of tar or obstructions in the flue.

A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn't create a lot of particulates that can damage the air quality, which is good news for people who suffer from allergies or asthma. Another benefit is that there's no smoke produced by the fireplace which means it doesn't produce a bad smell in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces produce an enormous amount of heat compared to wood-burning fires. This allows you to place your furniture in close proximity to the fire without having to worry about it catching on fire which could be hazardous.

There are several designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for an elegant and contemporary look with a wall-mounted model or opt for a recessed version that will blend in with the design of your room.

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 from the reservoir, while an automated one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

It is crucial to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you will have to start over.

Most manufacturers recommend that you allow at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure you have enough time to properly remove the flames and ensure all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any ethanol fuel that you have left out of reach of pets and children.

Maintenance is easy

The bioethanol fuel is put into the burner and then lit. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled by the slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is supplied to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns it releases a small amount of soot, but this can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the fireplace is filled with the correct fuel and ensuring it's a safe distance away from any flammable items or equipment.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere, without needing to worry about chimney regulations or building regulations. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home, and also where you can take pleasure in the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can also opt to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees so you can move the flame and heat to the desired space of your living space. Some models include a remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from your couch.

For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that let you attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you like it and still be able to turn it on or off and adjust the flame's height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.

When you're not using the ethanol fireplace, make sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable items or materials. Do not add any fuel into the burner until it is at temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it as it's extremely hot.
