Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are great to add a warm feel to any room, without the expense of structural work or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.

If you use only bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for your fire, and follow all safety instructions the fireplace will be operating safely.

Installation is simple

Ethanol electric fires are a simple and easy solution for homeowners who want to make their living spaces more attractive or make a focal point of their home decor. There is no need for chimneys and they won't create dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your walls or ceilings.

Installation is easy and doesn't require any specialist help. All you have to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is sturdy enough and follow the guidelines for your specific model.

If you decide to install an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall they are usually equipped with the hardware that allows them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV, or recessed into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs and install the brackets and extensions however it shouldn't take more than an hour for professionals to do it.

You can also choose between automatic and manual bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, meaning it can burn for longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners work similarly to a traditional fireplace, however you'll need matches or a lighter to light the flames.

When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace stove it's worth remembering that the burner must be covered by non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could overheat and damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to build gas or wood fireplaces. They're an excellent choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. And, because they do not generate soot or ash, there's no problems with maintenance, either.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in various styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to be sleek and modern. Regardless of the style they all offer the same benefits: genuine flames with no gas or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models, on other hand, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They must also meet certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.

The fire itself originates from a burner pan situated at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the flames have been established then it's time to relax, unwind and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.

Certain ethanol fire places provide heat settings that can be altered. This lets you adjust the amount of heat your fireplace produces.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for older homes as well as modern homes that do not have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place doesn't produce ash or harmful gases, which can be dangerous for people with respiratory problems.

Installing bio ethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. While the exact time to install is dependent on the model you select, most can be installed relatively quickly. You can also opt for a portable fireplace which you can take with you if you ever relocate, which makes it a good choice to use as a temporary living arrangement. It is crucial to think about the ease of installation when purchasing the fireplace.

No flu

The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is the fact that they don't require a chimney for operation. There is no danger of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or a blockage.

A bio-ethanol fireplace also does not produce many particulates that can damage the air, which is good news for those who suffer from allergies or asthma. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, therefore it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces produce a large amount of heat, compared to wood burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the flame without having to worry about catching a flame, which could be dangerous for any valuables.

If you opt for a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace There are different designs you can choose from. You can go for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted model, or you can get one that is recessed to fit in with the style of your room.

Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly out of the reservoir. A burner that is automated will light your fire automatically after the tank is completely empty.

When you've finished using your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely go out and to wait until the burner is cool before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll have to start from scratch.

The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you time to safely remove the flames, and remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any leftover ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from occurring.

Ease of maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be adjusted using the slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering how much oxygen is fed to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.

The soot produced from the combustion of fuel can be easily removed with an easy clean cloth. The only other requirement is to keep the burner filled with the correct fuel and to ensure it's not in contact with dangerous materials or objects.

Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere, without worrying about chimneys or building regulations. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility when it comes to the design of your home, and also where you can take pleasure in the warmth and ambiance of your new fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding fireplace that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be installed on your wall with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees, allowing you to focus the heat and flame into the desired area of your home. You can even put remote controls on certain models to control the entire thing from the couch.

To maximize versatility, a lot of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that let you connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you want it while being able to turn it on or off and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

When you are not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is off and a safe distance away from any flammable materials or other equipment. Also, don't pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Also, be cautious when handling the burner as it will be very hot.
