Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are excellent to add a warm feel to any room, without the expense of structure work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire that is available.
If you use only bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for your fireplace and you adhere to all safety guidelines, then your fireplace should perform in a safe manner.
Installation is simple
Ethanol fires are a fast and simple solution for homeowners looking to change the look of their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. They don't require a flue and they don't produce dangerous smoke, so you don't have to worry about the build-up of soot on your walls or ceilings.
If you decide to go with a full fire suite - for example, 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 doesn't require any expert assistance. You only need to make sure that your wall or ceiling is sturdy and follow the directions of the model you choose.
If you choose a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace, most are supplied with the fittings that allow them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV 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 choose between manual and automated bio ethanol burning equipment. The automated burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. Manual burners function similar to fireplaces, but you'll need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it is important to remember that the burner must be covered with non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are a great option for people who want to create a striking feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to install gas or wood fireplaces.

Styles and designs
Bio ethanol fireplaces come in various styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport an old-fashioned wood fireplace-burning style and others sport modern and sleek designs. Each type offers the same advantages, regardless of style and ambiance without toxic fumes or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable materials.
The fire is created through a burner pan, which is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. The process takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full flame potential. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.

No Flu

A bio ethanol fireplace also does not produce many particles that can harm the air quality, which is great news for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. The fire does not produce smoke, so it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.
Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat to the chimney, so it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about catching fire, which could be dangerous for your valuables.

It is important that you let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools before refilling. In the event that you don't, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start all over again.
Most manufacturers suggest that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so you have enough time to safely remove the flames and ensure that all flammable materials are away from the flame. In addition, it's recommended to store any remaining fuel with ethanol out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from occurring.
Easy maintenance

By altering the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

Some models come with a remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
