Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are great for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room, without the need for costly structural work or gas supply. They are the safest fire type available.

If you make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically formulated for your fire and you follow the safety guidelines, your fireplace should be safe to operate.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick option for homeowners looking to transform their living area or add a focal piece to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't release dangerous smoke, so you don't have to worry about the build-up of soot on your walls or ceilings.

Installation is simple and doesn't require any specialist help. It is all you have to do is sure that your wall or ceiling is strong and follow the instructions of the model you choose.

If you opt for a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace they are usually equipped with the hardware that allows them to be hung like a flat-screen TV or recessed into the wall. It will take a professional about an hour to install the brackets, extensions and find the studs.

You also have a choice of manual or automatic bio ethanol burners. The automated burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames, so that it can burn for longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. Manual burners work similarly to a traditional fireplace, but you'll need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

When you choose a burner to use in your bio ethanol fireplace, it is important to remember that the burner should 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 flame could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful choice for those who want a dramatic feature to add to their home but do not have the time or budget to install an electric fireplace or gas fireplace. They're an excellent choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce ash or soot, so there's no need for maintenance.

Styles and designs

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to be modern and sleek. Each model comes with the same advantages regardless of the style: a real flame ambience without toxic gases or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They must also comply with certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.

The fire is made by a burner pan located in the middle of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is lit you can sit back and relax in the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.

Some ethanol fire places even have heating settings that can be altered. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fire produces, which is beneficial if you wish to give you more warmth than just ambiance.

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for a 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. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not produce any toxic gases or ash, which can be dangerous for people with respiratory problems.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install in your home. While the exact installation time depends on the model you select the majority can be installed relatively quickly. You can also opt for an open-air fireplace that you can carry with you if you ever relocate, which makes it an ideal option for a temporary living arrangement. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when you purchase a fireplace.

No Flu

The major advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't require a flue in order to function. There is no danger of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or blockage.

A bio-ethanol fireplace also doesn't create a lot of particles that could harm the air, which is good news for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there's no smoke produced by the fireplace and therefore it doesn't create an unpleasant smell in the room.

Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat through the chimney, so it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This lets you place your furniture in close proximity to the fire without worrying about it burning and causing danger.

There are several designs available for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can pick a wall-mounted model for an elegant, modern appearance or a recessed model that blends into the style of your home.

Another thing to think about is whether you'd prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic one will automatically light your fire once 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 do this, the ethanol could evaporate and you will have to start over.

Most manufacturers suggest that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have plenty of time to properly extinguish the flames, and make sure that all flammable materials are away from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any spare fuel with ethanol out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Maintenance ease

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be controlled with the slider (not all designs include this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is pumped into the fire, you can alter how fast the fuel burns, and how high the flame burns.

The soot that is produced from the combustion of fuel is easily removed using a an easy, clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the fireplace is filled with the correct fuel and ensuring that it is not too far from any fire-prone objects or supplies.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere without worrying about chimney regulations or building regulations. This gives you great flexibility when designing your home and where you want to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose an open-air model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to set up and some models let you rotate the unit 180 degrees, allowing you to the flame and heat to be directed into the desired part of the room. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.

A majority of bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets to allow them to be attached to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. The fireplace can be installed wherever you'd like is possible however, you'll still be able to utilize the remote control to turn off the fireplace, adjust flame height and adjust the temperature.

If you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner is at temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it since it is very hot.
