Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can bring an inviting atmosphere to any room without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure kind of fire that is available.

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

Installation is easy

Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick option for homeowners looking to revamp their living space or add a focal piece to their home decor. You don't require a chimney and they don’t produce dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.

Installation is easy and doesn't require any assistance from a professional. All you need to do is make sure that the wall or ceiling is sturdy enough and follow the directions for your specific model.

Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted have the hardware necessary to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to mount the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.

You can also select between manual and automatic bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner will keep the fuel away from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners work the same as fireplaces, but you'll require matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.

When choosing a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it's worth remembering that the burner must be covered by non-combustible material to ensure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

The ethanol fire is a great alternative for those looking to have an eye-catching feature to bring to their home, but don't have the time or budget to set up a gas or wood fireplace. They're an excellent option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create ash or soot, so there's no maintenance issues.

Styles and designs

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport an old-fashioned wood-burning style and others sport modern and sleek design. Each type has the same benefits, regardless of the style: a real flame ambience free of harmful gasses or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and require specialized mounting gear. They also must comply with certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.

The fire itself is created by the burner pan, which is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes to get the fire up to its maximum flame potential. Once the flames are established and the fire is ablaze, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.

Some ethanol fire places even have heating settings that can be adjusted. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat that the fireplace produces.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require a chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce toxic gases or ash that could pose a risk for people with respiratory problems.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install inside your home. While the exact time to install depends on the model you choose however, the majority of them are installed in a short time. You can pick a portable freestanding fireplace that can be taken with you in the event that you move. This is an ideal option for temporary living arrangements. The ease of installation is a key factor for many people, and it is something that should not be ignored when looking for the perfect fireplace.

No Flu

The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is the fact that they do not require a chimney in order to function. In the end, there's no chance of chimney fires that could result from the build-up of tar, or an obstruction in the flue.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create numerous particles that could harm the air. This is great for people suffering from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there is no smoke generated by the fire and therefore it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose heat through 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 fire without having to worry about it getting caught on fire which could be hazardous.

There are several designs available for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can pick an installation on the wall for modern, sleek design or a recessed model that will blend into the design of your room.

Another thing to think about is whether you would prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel from the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light the fire when the tank is 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, the ethanol might evaporate and you will have to start from scratch.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have plenty of time to properly remove the flames, and make sure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any spare fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from occurring.

Easy maintenance

The bio ethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then lit. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be controlled with a slider (not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.

The soot produced by the burning of fuel can be easily cleaned with a the help of a soft clean cloth. The only other maintenance required is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and ensuring it's a safe distance away from any fire-prone objects or equipment.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to set up and you don't need to worry about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home and where you can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of your new fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding fireplace that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to set up and some models allow you to rotate the unit 180 degrees, which allows you to direct the flame and heat into the desired part of the room. You can even put remote controls on some designs to have full control from the couch.

A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets to enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you like is possible, however, you'll still be able to use the remote control to turn off the fireplace and adjust the flame's height as well as set the temperature.

When you are not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is shut off and kept away from any flammable materials or supplies. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature and always be careful when handling the burner since it is very hot.
