Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can bring a cozy feeling to any space, without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are also the safest type of fire available.

Easy installation
Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick solution for homeowners who want to make their living space more attractive or add a focal piece to their home decor. There is no need for chimneys and they don't create dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.
If you decide to go with the complete fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus fireplace suite (see page) in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black from 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 does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you need to do is make sure that your wall or ceiling is strong and follow the instructions of the model you pick.
The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the equipment needed to install them as a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions, but it shouldn't take more than an hour for professionals to do it.
You can also select between manual and automatic bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, which means it can burn for longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners work exactly like fireplaces, with the exception that you'll need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
It's important to remember that when selecting a bioethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could overheat and damage the fireplace.
The ethanol ethonal fire is a great choice for those who want a dramatic feature to bring to their home but don't have the time or budget to set up a gas or wood fireplace. They're an excellent option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they do not produce soot or ash, there's no problems with maintenance or worry about.
Designs and styles
Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Some have a more traditional fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to be sleek and modern. Regardless of the style they all offer the same benefits: authentic flames with no fumes or harmful gases.
Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls 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. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is then lit by a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is lit you can relax and enjoy your home's warm atmosphere.
Certain ethanol fireplaces have adjustable heat settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat the fireplace produces.
Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace electric doesn't produce ash or harmful gases that could pose a risk for those with respiratory issues.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install within your home. While the exact installation time will depend on the model you select however, the majority of them are installed in a short time. You can pick a portable freestanding fireplace that can be taken with you in the event that you move. This is a great choice for living arrangements that are temporary. It is important to consider the installation ease when buying a fireplace inserts.
No Flu
The big advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't require an exhaust pipe to run. There is no chance of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or a blockage.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particulates, which can affect the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there isn't any smoke that is produced by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause a bad smell in the room.
In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bioethanol fires don't lose heat up the chimney, and therefore produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This allows you to place your furniture in close proximity to the flame without worrying about it burning and causing danger.
There are many designs to choose from for a bioethanol freestanding white fireplace. You can go for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted model or opt for a recessed version that will fit in with the style of your room.
Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer a manual or an automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic one will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.
It is crucial to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol could evaporate and you'll have to start again.
The majority of manufacturers advise that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have plenty of time to properly extinguish the flames and ensure that all flammable materials are away from the flame. In addition, it's recommended to store any remaining ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from occurring.
Easy maintenance
The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then ignited. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using an adjustable slider. (Not all models have this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.
The soot created by the burning of fuel can be easily removed with an easy clean cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the burner is properly fueled and ensuring that it's a safe distance away from any flammable items or equipment.
Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can set them virtually anywhere without having to worry about chimneys or building regulations. This provides you with a large amount of flexibility when it comes to the design of your home and also where you can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of your new fireplace. You can also opt to have a free-standing model that can be moved from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated by 180 degrees to direct the flame and heat to the desired space of your living space. You can even mount an electronic remote control on some of the designs to have full control from the comfortable sofa.
For maximum flexibility, a majority of the plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow you to connect them to a flat or sloping ceiling. The fireplace can be installed wherever you want is possible, but you can still use the remote control to turn off the fireplace, adjust flame height and set the temperature.
If you're not using your ethanol burner ensure that it is turned off and kept away from any flammable substances or equipment. Also, don't add fuel to the burner until it's cooled to room temperature. Always be cautious when handling the burner since it will be very hot.
