Ethanol fireplaces are ideal to add a warm feel to any space without the need for expensive structural work or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.

If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for the fire, and adhere to all safety rules, then your fireplace should be operating safely.

Installation is simple

Ethanol fires are a quick and easy solution for homeowners looking to make their living spaces more attractive or add a focal point to their home decor. There is no need for chimneys and they won't create dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.

It is all you have to do is sure that your wall or ceiling is sturdy and adhere to the directions for the model you pick.

If you opt for an ethanol fireplace that is wall-mounted they are usually equipped with the necessary hardware to allow them to be mounted like a flat-screen TV, or installed into the wall. It takes a professional about an hour to mount the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.

You can also choose of manual or automated bioethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames, so that it will burn for longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. Manual burners work in the same way as a traditional fireplace, but you'll require matches or a lighter to light the flames.

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

Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those looking to create a dramatic focal point in their home, but don't have the budget or time to install gas or wood fireplaces. They're a perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create ash or soot, so there's no maintenance issues.

Designs and styles

There are a number of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces are available in. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport a traditional wood-burning look and others have modern and sleek design. Every type of fireplace has the same benefits, regardless of style and ambiance free of harmful gases or smoke.

Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and may require special mounting gear. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

The fire is started through a burner pan, which is located at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is lit with a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the flames are set and the fire is ablaze, you can relax, unwind and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.

Certain ethanol fireplaces come with adjustable temperature settings. This lets you adjust the amount of heat your fireplace produces.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent alternative for new homes or older homes that do not have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place does not produce any gas or ash which could be harmful for those with respiratory issues.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. While the exact time to install will depend on the model you select the majority can be installed relatively quickly. You can even choose a freestanding portable fireplace which you can take with you in the event of a relocate, making it a great option for a temporary living arrangement. It is crucial to think about the ease of installation when purchasing the fireplace.

No Flu

The major advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need a flue to operate. There is no danger of a chimney fire that is caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.

A bio ethanol fireplace doesn't produce a lot of particles that could harm the air quality, which is good news for those suffering from allergies or asthma. The fire does not produce smoke, therefore it won't cause bad odor in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces generate lots of heat, compared to wood burning fires. This allows you to place your furniture in close proximity to the fire without having to worry about it catching on fire which could be hazardous.

If you decide to go with a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace, there are a few options to pick from. You can select an installation on the wall for a sleek, modern look or a recessed unit that will blend into the design of your space.

A burner that is either manual or automated is a different option to consider. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automated one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.

It is crucial to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the burner cools before refilling. Otherwise, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start over.

Most manufacturers recommend that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have enough time to remove the flames and ensure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any remaining ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from happening.

Maintenance is easy

Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled with an adjustable slider. (Not all models have this feature). By altering how much oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns it creates tiny amounts of soot, but this can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the fireplace is filled with the correct fuel and ensuring that it's a safe distance away from any fire-prone objects or other equipment.

Another advantage of bio ethanol fires is that you can put them almost anywhere without worrying about building regulations or chimneys. This allows you to be very flexible when designing your home and where you want to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees, allowing you to focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your home. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from your couch.

Many wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it while being in a position to turn the flame off or on and alter the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

When you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Do not add any fuel into the burner until the burner has reached room temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it is very hot.
