Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are excellent to add a warm feel to any space without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are also the most secure kind of fire you can find.

As long as you make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically formulated for your fire and you follow the safety instructions your fireplace will be safe to operate.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fires are a fast and easy option for homeowners looking to transform their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't release dangerous smoke and you don't have to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your walls or ceilings.

Installation is easy and doesn't require any specialist help. All you need to do is ensure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy enough and follow the instructions 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 as a flat-screen television 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 also have a choice of automatic or manual bio ethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, which means it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners work similarly to a traditional fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or lighters to ignite the flames.

It's important to remember that when selecting a bioethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible material. 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 fires are a great option for people who want to create a striking feature in their home, but don't have the money or time to set up gas or wood fireplaces. They're the perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce soot or ash, so there's no need for maintenance.

Styles and designs

There are a number of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature a traditional wood-burning look, while others feature a sleek and modern design. Regardless of the style, each type offers the same benefits: authentic flame ambience with no smoke or toxic gases.

Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and may require specialized mounting gear. They also have to meet certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.

The fire itself originates from a burner pan located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan and then the fire is then lit with an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full potential for flame. Once the fire is ignited, you can sit back and relax in the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.

Certain ethanol fireplaces have adjustable temperature settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which is beneficial if you wish to provide more warmth than simply ambience.

Another benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them a great option for homes that are new or older homes that do not have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not produce any gas or ash, which can be dangerous for people with respiratory problems.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install within your home. Although the exact time for installation depends on the model you choose the majority are installed in a short time. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace which can be transported with you when you move. This is an ideal option for temporary living arrangements. The ease of installation is a key factor for many people, and it is something to consider when looking for an upgrade to your fireplace.

No Flu

The major benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need a flue in order to function. There is no danger of a chimney fire caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.

A bio ethanol fireplace does not produce many particles that can harm the air, which is great news for people who suffer from allergies or asthma. The fire does not produce smoke, therefore it doesn't create a unpleasant odor in the room.

Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bio ethanol fires don't lose heat through the chimney, which means it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about catching alight that could be hazardous for any valuables.

There are several designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose one that is wall-mounted for a sleek, modern look or a recessed model that will blend into the design of your space.

A burner that is either manual or automated is another option 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.

When you're done using your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the fireplace is cool before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol may evaporate and you'll have to start again.

The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you time to safely remove the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. 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. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be controlled with a slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering how much oxygen is supplied to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel burns, and how high the flame burns.

The soot created by the burning of fuel is easily removed using a the help of a soft clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the burner full of the correct fuel and to ensure it's kept away from items or materials that are flammable.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can install them virtually anywhere without having to worry about chimneys or building regulations. This gives you a lot of flexibility in designing your home, and the location you wish to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees to direct the flame and heat into the desired area of your living space. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.

For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow you to attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it, and be able to turn the flame off or on, adjust the flame height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.

When you are not using your ethanol fire, make sure that it is turned off and kept away from any flammable materials or supplies. Also, don't add fuel to the burner until it has cooled to room temperature and always be careful when handling the burner as it is extremely hot.
