|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ethanol fireplaces are great for bringing a cozy feel to any room, without the need for expensive structure work or gas supply. They are the most secure fire type 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 very safe to operate.
|
||||||

||||||
|
Ease of installation
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ethanol fires are a simple and easy option for homeowners who want to change the look of their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and don't create dangerous smoke and you don't have to worry about the build up of soot on your walls or ceilings.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you decide to go with the complete fire suite - for example, 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 need to do is make sure that your ceiling or wall is strong and follow the directions of the model you pick.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you opt for an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall they are usually equipped with the hardware that allows them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV or placed in the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to put in the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
You can also pick between manual and automated bioethanol burning devices. The automatic 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 the same as fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters to light the flames.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It's important to remember when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.
|

|
The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful option for those looking for an eye-catching feature to bring to their home, but don't have the time or budget to install wood or gas fireplaces. These are ideal for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts were removed. And, because they do not produce soot or ash, there are no problems with maintenance, either.
|

|
|
||||||

Designs and styles
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Bio ethanol fireplaces come in a variety of styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to be modern and sleek. Regardless of the style they all offer the same benefits: real flames with no gas or smoke.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models, on contrary, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The fire itself is created by a burner pan situated at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is then lit with a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the flames are established, it's time to relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Some ethanol fire places have temperature settings that can be adjusted. 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 advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for older homes as well as newer ones that don't have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gasses or ash, which can be dangerous for people suffering from respiratory ailments.

Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install inside your home. Although the exact time for installation is dependent on the model you choose the majority can be installed fairly quickly. You can pick a portable freestanding fireplace that can be transported 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 factor for many people, and it is something to consider when choosing the perfect fireplace.

The major benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need an exhaust pipe to run. There is no danger of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or a blockage.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce many particulates, which can affect the air. This is a great thing for people with allergies or asthma. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, so it won't cause bad odor in the room.

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace [Bioethanol fire](https://www.fireplacesandstove.com/) fires don't lose a lot of heat to the chimney, and therefore can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This lets you keep your furniture close to the flame without having to worry about it catching on fire which could be hazardous.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you decide to go with a freestanding bioethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs you can choose from. You can select one that is wall-mounted for modern, sleek design or a recessed one that blends into the style of your home.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer a manual or an automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will light your fire automatically after the tank is completely empty.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When you've finished using your bioethanol fireplace it is essential to let the flames completely go out and wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start all over again.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to safely remove the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any spare ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from occurring.

|

|
Maintenance is easy
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The bio ethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it generates an ember and heat that can be controlled with the slider (not all designs include this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can alter the speed at which fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The soot created from the combustion of fuel can be easily cleaned with a a soft, clean cloth. The only other maintenance required is to ensure that the burner is properly fueled and making sure it's a safe distance away from any fire-prone objects or other equipment.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
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 designing your home, and where you want to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can also opt to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees, allowing you to focus the heat and flame into the desired area of your living space. 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 a flat ceiling or sloped one. Installing the fireplace wherever you want is possible, however, you'll still be able to use the remote control to shut it off and adjust the flame's height as well as adjust the temperature.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
When you're not using the fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable items or materials. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled to room temperature. Always be careful when handling the fire as it is extremely hot.
