5. Bio Ethanol Fireplace Projects For Any Budget

Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces can give warmth to any room without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are also the most secure kind of fire you can find.

If you use only bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for the fire, and follow all safety instructions, then your fireplace should perform in a safe manner.

Ease of installation

Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick solution for homeowners looking to transform their living area or add a focal point to their home decor. You don't need chimneys and they don't create dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your walls or ceilings.

It doesn't matter if you choose the complete fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 - or a freestanding model that is able to be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and doesn't require any expert assistance. All you need to do is make sure that your wall or ceiling is sturdy and follow the directions for the model you select.

If you choose an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall Most come with the fittings that allow them to be either hung as a flat-screen television or placed in the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to mount the brackets, extensions and find the studs.

You can also select between manual and automated bio ethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners function exactly like a fireplace, except that you'll need matches or lighters to light the flames.

It's important to remember when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner properly, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those looking to create a striking feature in their home but don't have the money or time to build a wood or gas fireplace. These are ideal for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create soot or ash, which means there's no maintenance issues.

Styles and designs

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Some are more traditional in their fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. No matter what style, each type offers the same benefits: authentic flame ambience with no fumes or harmful gases.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and require special mounting gear. They also have to meet certain clearance distances from flammable substances.

The fire itself comes from a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is ignited using a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the flames are established, it's time to relax, sit back and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.

Some ethanol fire places provide heat settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.

A further benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent alternative for older homes or newer homes without chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fireplace does not emit harmful gases or ash that can be dangerous for people who suffer from respiratory issues.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also easy. Although the exact time for installation depends on the model you choose however, the majority of them are installed in a short time. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace which can be carried with you if ever you move. This is a great option for living arrangements that are temporary. It is essential to consider the installation ease when buying an electric fireplace.

No flue

The main benefit of bio ethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they don't require a chimney for operation. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.

A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn't create a lot of particles that could harm the air quality, which is great news for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there isn't any smoke that is produced by the fire which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces produce an enormous amount of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture close to the flame without worrying about catching fire that could be hazardous for your valuables.

There are a variety of designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted model or opt for an recessed model that will blend into the style of your space.

A manual or automatic burner is a different option to consider. 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 important that you allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol may evaporate and you'll need to start from scratch.

Most manufacturers suggest that you wait at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have enough time to properly extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable materials are away from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any leftover ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from happening.

Maintenance is easy

The bioethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then ignited. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled by an adjustable slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns, and how high the flame burns.

When the fuel is burned, it creates a small amount of soot, but this can be easily cleaned by wiping down 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's kept away from flammable materials or objects.

Another advantage of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them virtually anywhere without worrying about chimneys or building regulations. This allows you to be very flexible when designing your home and also where you would like to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can even choose an open-air model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees so you can move the flame and heat to the desired location of your home. You can even put an electronic remote control on some of the designs to take full control from the comfortable sofa.

For maximum flexibility, a majority of the plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that permit you to attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you like it while being able to turn the flame off or on and alter the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

When you're not using your ethanol fireplace stove, make sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Also, don't add fuel to the burner until it's cooled to room temperature and always be cautious when handling the fire as it is extremely hot.
