Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are great to add a warm feel to any room without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure kind of fire that is available.
If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for your fire, and follow all safety instructions, then your fireplace should operate in a safe manner.
Ease of installation
Ethanol fires are a fast and simple solution for homeowners who want to transform their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. There is no need for a chimney and they don’t produce dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.
Installation is easy and doesn't require any specialist help. All you need to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong and follow the directions of the model you select.
Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted include the hardware necessary to mount them either like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs and install the brackets and extensions, but it will not take more than one hour for a professional to do so.
There is also the option of automatic or manual bio ethanol burners. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners work exactly like fireplaces, but you will need matches or lighters to light the flames.
When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it's worth remembering that the burner must be covered by non-combustible material to make sure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This can damage the fireplace insert.
Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home, but don't have the money or time to set up gas or wood fireplaces. These are ideal for new or renovated homes in which chimney breasts were removed. They also do not produce soot or ash, there's no issues with maintenance, either.
Styles and designs
There are a number of different styles and designs that bio ethanol marble fireplaces are available in. Some are more traditional in their fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. No matter what style the fireplaces all have the same benefits: real flames with no smoke or toxic gases.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models, on other hand, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They must also comply with certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.
The fire itself comes from a burner pan that is situated on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is lit with a long-lasting lighter. The process takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full flame potential. Once the flames are set and the fire is ablaze, you can relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.
Some ethanol fire places have heat settings that can be adjusted. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace suites produces.
Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimneys or flues. This makes them a great option for older homes as well as newer homes without chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gasses or ash, which are dangerous to people who suffer from respiratory issues.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install within your home. The time required to install will depend on the type of fireplace you choose. However, most models can be installed fairly quickly. You can also opt for an open-air fireplace that you can take with you if you ever relocate, which makes it a great option for a temporary living arrangement. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when you purchase an electric fireplace.
No flue
The major benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need a flue to operate. This means that there is no chance of chimney fires that can result from the build-up of tar, or obstructions in the flue.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release many particles, which could harm the air. This is a great thing for people suffering from asthma or allergies. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, so it won't cause unpleasant odor in the room.
As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose heat to the chimney, so it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture close to the flame without worrying about catching alight which could be dangerous for any valuables.
If you decide to go with a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace There are different designs you can choose from. You can choose an elegant and contemporary look by installing it on the wall, or you can get one that is recessed to fit in with the style of your room.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a different thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic one will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.
It is crucial to allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the flame cools before refilling. Otherwise, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll need to start over.
The majority of manufacturers advise that you allow at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so you have enough time to extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable materials are away from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any remaining fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from happening.
Ease of maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be adjusted using an adjustable slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is supplied to the fire you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns it creates tiny amounts of soot, but this is easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the fireplace is full of the correct fuel and ensuring that it is not too far from any flammable items or supplies.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to set up, 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 relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can also opt to have a freestanding model that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the flame and heat into the desired area of your living space. Certain models come with remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you want it and still be in a position to turn the flame off or on and alter the flame's height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.

Do not add any fuel into the burner until the burner has reached temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it's extremely hot.
