Why Bio Ethanol Fireplace Is Still Relevant In 2023

Bio Ethanol Fireplaces

Ethanol fireplaces are great to add a warm feel to any space without the expense of construction or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire that is available.

As long as you only make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fire and you follow the safety guidelines, your fireplace should be safe to operate.

Installation is easy

Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick option for homeowners looking to revamp their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't release dangerous smoke, so you don't have to worry about the build up of soot on your ceilings or walls.

Whether you opt for a full fire suite - for example, Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black from PS569 or an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and requires no specialist help. All you need to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy and follow the directions for the model you choose.

Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted have the necessary hardware to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It will take a professional about an hour to put in the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.

You can also choose between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. A manual burner works exactly the same way as a traditional fireplace, however you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.

It is important to keep in mind that when selecting a bioethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could become too hot and damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those who want to create a dramatic feature in their home but don't have the funds or time to set up gas or wood fireplace fireplaces. They're a perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create soot or ash, which means there's no need for maintenance.

Designs and styles

There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some have a more traditional wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to look sleek and modern. Each type comes with the same advantages regardless of style: a real flame ambience without toxic gases or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and require special mounting gear. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.

The fire itself comes from a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is lit with a long-lasting lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the flames have been established, it's time to relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.

Some ethanol fire places even have temperature settings that can be adjusted. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat your fireplace generates.

Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any 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 generate ash or harmful gases that could pose a risk for those with respiratory issues.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. The exact installation time will depend on the model that you choose. However, most models can be installed quickly. You can opt for an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be transported with you in the event that you move. This is a great choice for temporary living arrangements. It is important to consider the ease of installation when you purchase the fireplace.

No Flu

The main advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need a flue to operate. As a result, there is no risk of chimney fires that can be caused by the accumulation of tar or an obstruction in the flue.

A bio ethanol fireplace does not produce many particulates that can damage the air quality, which is good news for those suffering from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there's no smoke produced by the fireplace which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.

Bioethanol fireplaces generate an enormous amount of heat when compared to wood fireplace-burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture near the fire without having to worry about catching a flame, which could be dangerous for your valuables.

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

A burner that is either manual or automated is another thing to think about. A manual burner requires that you ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.

After you've used your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is important to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the burner has cooled before refueling. If you don't do this, the ethanol could evaporate and you'll have to start from scratch.

Most manufacturers suggest that you allow at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have plenty of time to safely extinguish the flames and ensure that all flammable substances are removed from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any remaining fuel ethanol out of reach of pets and children.

Maintenance ease

The bioethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled with a slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is pumped into the fire, you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns it releases some soot. However, this is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance required is to ensure that the burner is properly fueled and ensuring it is kept away from any fire-prone objects or other equipment.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are easy to set up, and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This provides you with a large amount of flexibility when it comes to the design of your home and where you can experience the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding model that can be moved.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated by 180 degrees so you can direct the flame and heat to the desired space of your room. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.

To maximize versatility, a lot of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow you to connect them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you like it, and be in a position to turn it on or off and alter the flame's height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.

If you're not using your ethanol fire, make sure that it is turned off and kept away from any flammable materials or supplies. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it's cooled to room temperature. Always be careful when handling the burner since it is extremely hot.
