Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can give an inviting atmosphere to any room without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are the most secure fireplace type 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 very safe to operate.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fireplaces are a straightforward and quick solution for homeowners looking to revamp their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and don't create dangerous smoke and you don't have to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your ceilings or walls.

If you decide to go with the complete fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, from PS569 - or an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and requires no specialist help. You only need to make sure that your wall or ceiling is sturdy and follow the directions of the model you select.

The majority of ethanol fireplaces electric that are wall-mounted include the hardware necessary to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall fires. It will take a professional about an hour to mount the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.

You can also pick between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, meaning it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners work in the same way as a traditional fireplace, but you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.

When choosing a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it's important to keep in mind that the burner should 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 flame could overheat and damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are an excellent option for people who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home, but don't have the funds or time to build a wood or gas fireplace. These are ideal for new or renovated homes in which chimney breasts were removed. And, because they do not generate soot or ash, there's no issues with maintenance or worry about.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport an old-fashioned wood-burning style, while others feature modern and sleek design. Whatever the design they all offer the same benefits: real flame ambience with no gas or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and require special mounting gear. They also must meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.

The fire is made by a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full flame potential. Once the flames are established, it's time to relax, sit back and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.

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

Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue.

No Flu

The biggest advantage of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they do not require a chimney in order to function. There is no risk of a chimney fire caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.

A manual or automatic burner is a different aspect to consider. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic burner will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.

After you've used your bio ethanol fireplace, it is essential to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the fireplace has cooled before refueling. If you don't do this, the ethanol may evaporate and you will have to start again.

Most manufacturers recommend that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so that you have enough time to 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 ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from occurring.

Ease of maintenance

Ethanol marble fireplaces function by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled with an adjustable slider (not all designs have this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

When the fuel is burned, it creates some soot, which is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance required is keeping the burner full of the correct fuel and ensuring that it is not too far from any flammable objects or supplies.

Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from your couch.

The fireplace can be installed wherever you'd like is possible however, you can still use the remote control to turn it off or adjust the flame's height and adjust the temperature.
