Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room, without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are the safest kind of fire available.
As long as you only utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically formulated for your fire and follow the safety instructions the fireplace will be very safe to operate.
Installation is simple
Ethanol fires are a fast and simple solution for homeowners looking to make their living spaces more attractive or make a focal point of their home decor. There is no need for a chimney and they don’t emit dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.
If you decide to go with a full fire suite - such as Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 - or a freestanding model that can 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 have to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy enough and follow the guidelines for the specific model.
Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted have the equipment needed to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions however it shouldn't take more than an hour for a professional to do so.
You also have a choice of automatic or manual bio ethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel away from the flames, ensuring it will burn longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. A manual burner works exactly the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or lighters to light the flames.
It's important to remember that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.
Ethanol fireplaces are a great option for people who want to create a striking feature in their home but don't have the budget or time to set up a wood or gas fireplace. They're the perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they do not produce soot or ash, there aren't any maintenance issues to worry about also.
Styles and designs
There are a number of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport an old-fashioned wood-burning style, while others feature modern and sleek designs. Whatever the design the fireplaces all have the same benefits: authentic flame ambience with no fumes or harmful gases.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. freestanding fireplace models can be moved around the room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models, on other hand, are anchored to the wall fireplace and may require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.
The fire is created by a burner pan that is located in the middle of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan, and the fire is ignited using an extended lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full potential for flame. Once the flames have been established then it's time to relax, sit back and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.
Some ethanol fire places have heat settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fire produces, which is beneficial if you wish to provide more warmth than just ambiance.
Another benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent alternative for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not generate gas or ash that could pose a risk for those with respiratory issues.

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 even choose an open-air fireplace which you can take with you when you decide to relocate, making it a great option for a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a crucial aspect for many buyers and it's something that should not be ignored when shopping for the perfect fireplace.
No Flu
The main benefit of bio ethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they don't require a chimney to function. This means that there's no chance of chimney fires that could be caused by the build-up of tar, or an obstruction in the flue.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create numerous particles that could affect the air. This is beneficial for people suffering from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there's no smoke produced by the fireplace and, therefore, it doesn't cause a bad smell in the room.
Bioethanol fireplaces generate an enormous amount of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture near the flame without having to worry about catching a flame which could be dangerous for any valuables.
If you opt for a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can choose an installation on the wall for an elegant, modern appearance or a recessed unit which will blend in with the style of your home.
Another thing to think about is whether you want an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automated one will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.
After you've used your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start over.
The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you time to safely remove the flames, and remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any leftover fuel with ethanol out of reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from happening.
Maintenance ease
Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using an adjustable slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter the speed at which the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
The soot produced by the burning of fuel can be easily cleaned with a the help of a soft clean cloth. The only other maintenance required is keeping the burner properly fueled and ensuring that it's a safe distance away from any fire-prone objects or supplies.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install, and you don't have to worry about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to be very flexible in the design of your home and where you want to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls with ease, and some models can be rotated by 180 degrees so you can focus the heat and flame into the desired area of your living space. Certain models come with remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from your couch.
For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that permit you to attach them to a flat or sloping ceiling. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you like it and still be in a position to turn the flame off or on, adjust the flame height, and set the temperature using the remote control.
If you're not using your ethanol flame, make sure that it is off and kept away from any flammable materials or equipment. Also, don't attempt to add fuel to the burner until it's cooled to room temperature. Always be cautious when handling the fire as it is extremely hot.
