Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can provide an inviting atmosphere to any space without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire you can find.

If you only use bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for the fire, and adhere to all safety guidelines, then your fireplace should perform safely.

Installation is simple

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

Installation is easy and does not require any assistance from a professional. All you need to do is make sure that your wall or ceiling is strong and follow the instructions of the model you pick.

If you opt for a wall fires-mounted ethanol fireplace they are usually equipped with the hardware that allows them to be mounted as a flat-screen television or recessed into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions, but it shouldn't take more than an hour for an expert to do this.

You can also pick between manual and automatic bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, which means it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners function the same as fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

It's important to remember that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those looking to create a dramatic focal point in their home but don't have the money or time to build gas or wood stone fireplaces. These are ideal for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts were removed. They don't create soot or ash, which means there's no need for maintenance.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature the traditional wood-burning appearance and others sport a sleek and modern design. No matter what style the fireplaces all have the same benefits: real flame ambience without gas or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. 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 comes from a burner pan that is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is ignited using an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the flames are established and the ethonal fire is ablaze, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.

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

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them a great option for homes that are new or older homes that do not have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gasses or ash, which can be dangerous for people with respiratory conditions.

Installing bio ethanol 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 set up fairly quickly. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace that can be transported with you in the event that you decide to move. This is a great option for temporary living arrangements. It is essential to consider the installation ease when buying the fireplace.

No Flu

The main advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require a flue to operate. This means that there is no risk of chimney fires that can result from the build-up of tar, or obstructions in the flue.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particulates, which can cause harm to the air. This is a great thing for people suffering from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there's no smoke generated by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause a bad smell in the room.

As opposed to 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 close to the fire without worrying about catching fire, which could be dangerous for any valuables.

There are a variety of designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for a sleek and modern look by installing it on the wall or choose a recessed version that will blend in with the design of your room.

A burner that is either manual or automated is a different option to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automated one will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.

When you've finished using your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely go out and wait until the burner has cooled before refueling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will vaporize and you'll need to start over.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so you have enough time to put out the flames, and make sure that all flammable materials are away from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any spare ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled with an adjustable slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering how much oxygen is fed to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

When the fuel is burned, it creates some soot, but this is easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the burner filled with the correct fuel and ensure that it is kept away from any dangerous materials or objects.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere, without having to worry about chimney regulations or building regulations. This provides you with a large amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home and also where you can experience the warmth and ambiance of your new fireplace. You can also opt to have a freestanding model that you can move from room to room.

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

Many wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloping one. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you want it, and be capable of turning it on or off and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

When you're not using the fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Don't try to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it's cooled to room temperature. Always be careful when handling the burner as it is very hot.
