Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any space without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the safest type of fire available.

If you use bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically formulated for your fire and you follow the safety guidelines the fireplace will be extremely safe to use.

Easy installation

Ethanol fires are a quick and easy option for homeowners who wish to change the look of their living space or create a focal point for 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.

Installation is simple and does not require any expert assistance. You only need to make sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and follow the directions for the model you select.

Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the necessary hardware to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to put in the brackets, extensions, and locate 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 that it can burn for longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. Manual burners function exactly like fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters to light the flames.

When you choose a burner to use in your bio ethanol fireplace, it is important to remember that the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those looking to create a striking feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to install gas or wood fireplaces. These are ideal for renovations and new homes in which chimney breasts were removed. Since they do not produce soot or ash, there are no problems with maintenance, either.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in different styles and designs. Some are more traditional in their wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to be sleek and modern. Regardless of the style, each type offers the same benefits: authentic flame ambience with no smoke or toxic gases.

Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

The fire itself is created by a burner pan situated on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan, and the fire is lit using a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the flames are set then it's time to relax, sit back and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Certain ethanol fireplaces come with adjustable heating settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace generates.

Another benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for older homes as well as newer homes without chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not produce any toxic gases or ash, which can be dangerous for those with respiratory issues.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also easy. The time required to install will depend on the model that you select. However, most models can be installed quickly. You can pick a portable freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you in the event that you relocate. This is a great choice for living arrangements that are temporary. The ease of installation is an important aspect for many buyers, and it is something that should not be overlooked when looking for a new fireplace.

No Flu

The main benefit of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they don't require a chimney to function. In the end, there is no risk of chimney fires that could result from a build-up of tar or a blockage in the flue.

A bio ethanol white fireplace also doesn't create a lot of particles that can harm the air, which is a great thing for those suffering from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there is no smoke generated by the fire and therefore it doesn't create an unpleasant smell in the room.

Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bioethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat to the chimney, which means it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This lets you keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about it catching on fire which could be hazardous.

If you opt for a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace, there are a few options to pick from. You can choose a wall-mounted model for an elegant, modern appearance or a recessed unit that blends into the design of your space.

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.

It is essential 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 will have to start from scratch.

Most manufacturers recommend that you wait at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so you have enough time to remove the flames and ensure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the flame. To avoid any accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from the reach of pets and children.

Easy maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be controlled with a slider (not all designs feature this). By altering the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel burns and how high the flame burns.

The soot produced by the burning of fuel can be easily cleaned with a a soft, clean cloth. The only other maintenance required is to ensure that the fireplace is filled with the correct fuel and making sure it's a safe distance away from any flammable items or other equipment.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to be very flexible in the design of your home and the location you wish to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt for a freestanding model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees, allowing you to move the flame and heat to the desired location of your room. You can also mount a remote control onto some of the designs to take full control from the comfortable sofa.

For maximum versatility, many of the plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces come with brackets that permit you to attach them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. Installing the fireplace wherever you like is possible, however, you can still utilize the remote control to turn it off, adjust flame height and set temperature.

When you're not using the ethanol fireplace, make sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner is at the temperature of room temperature. Be cautious when handling it as it is extremely hot.
