All you need to do is make sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and adhere to the instructions of the model you select.

Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted include the hardware necessary to mount them either like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It will take an experienced professional around an hour to install the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.

You can also choose of automatic or manual bioethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames, so that it can burn for longer without the risk of overheating or running out of. Manual burners work exactly the same way as a traditional fireplace, however you'll need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

When choosing a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.

Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those looking to create a striking feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to install gas or wood fireplace fireplaces. They're a perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they do not produce soot or ash, there aren't any problems with maintenance also.

Designs and styles

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in a variety of styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. Each type has the same benefits, regardless of style: a real flame ambience without toxic gases or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room as desired. wall fireplace-mounted models, on the contrary, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.

The fire is made by a burner pan located at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is ignited using an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is lit, you can relax and enjoy your home's warm atmosphere.

Certain ethanol fireplaces come with adjustable heat settings. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat your fireplace generates.

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for older homes as well as modern fireplace homes that do not have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gases or ash, which can be dangerous for people suffering from respiratory ailments.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install within your home. The exact installation time will depend on the model you select. However, the majority of models can be installed fairly quickly. You can pick an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be taken with you if ever you decide to move. This is a great option for temporary living arrangements.

No flue

The biggest advantage of bio ethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is the fact that they don't require a chimney in order to function. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or a blockage.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release numerous particles that could cause harm to the air. This is a great thing for people with asthma or allergies. The fire doesn't produce smoke, therefore it won't cause bad odor in the room.

Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bio ethanol fires don'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 in close proximity to the fire without worrying about catching fire that could be hazardous for your valuables.

There are several designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for an elegant and contemporary look with a wall-mounted model or choose one that is recessed to blend in with the design of your room.

A manual or automatic burner is a different option to consider. A manual burner requires that you ignite the fuel directly out of the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light the fire once the tank is empty.

It is crucial to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the burner cools 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 leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have enough time to safely put out the flames and ensure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the flame. In addition, it's recommended to store any spare fuel with ethanol out of reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Maintenance is easy

Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces a flame and heat that can be controlled by an adjustable slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can adjust the speed at which fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

The soot produced from the combustion of fuel can be easily removed with the help of a soft, clean cloth. The only other maintenance is to keep the fireplace filled with the correct fuel and ensure that it is kept away from any dangerous materials or objects.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to set up and you don't need to worry about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a lot of flexibility when designing your home and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing fireplace that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to install, and certain models allow you to rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you the flame and heat to be directed towards the desired location of the room. Certain models come with remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from your couch.

Many wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets to allow them to be attached to a flat ceiling or sloping one. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it and still be in a position to turn it off or on and adjust the flame's height, and adjust the temperature using the remote control.

If you're not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is shut off and a safe distance away from any flammable substances or other equipment. Do not add any fuel into the burner until the burner is at room temperature. Be careful when handling it as it's extremely hot.
