Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for bringing a cozy feel to any space without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are the most secure fire type available.

All you have to do is ensure that the ceiling or wall is strong enough and follow the guidelines for the model you have chosen.
If you choose an ethanol fireplace that is wall-mounted Most come with the fittings that allow them to be mounted as a flat-screen television or installed into the wall. You'll need to find the studs and install the brackets and extensions however, it will not take more than one hour for professionals to do it.
There is also the option of automatic or manual bioethanol burners. An automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, which means it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners function the same as fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters to light the flames.
When you choose a burner to use in your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner must be covered by non-combustible material to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.
Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those looking to create a dramatic feature in their home but don't have the money or time to set up a wood or gas fireplace. They are great for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts were removed. They also do not produce soot or ash, there's no problems with maintenance, either.
Designs and styles
There are many different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces come in. Some are more traditional in their wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to look modern and sleek. Each model has the same benefits, regardless of style that is a genuine flame atmosphere without toxic fumes or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models, on contrary, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.
The fire itself comes from a burner pan that is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is lit using a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full flame potential. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.
Some ethanol fireplaces wooden even come with adjustable temperature settings. This lets you adjust the amount of heat your fireplace generates.
Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require a chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes as well as newer homes without chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces.

No flue
The main benefit of bio ethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they do not require a chimney for operation. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.
A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce many particulates, which can harm the air. This is great for people suffering from allergies or asthma. The fire does not produce smoke, so it won't cause bad smell in the room.
As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat to the chimney, which means it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the flame without worrying about catching fire that could be hazardous for your valuables.
If you opt for a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can choose modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted model or choose an recessed model that will blend in with the design of your space.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a second option to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel from the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light the fire after the tank is completely empty.
After you've used your bio-ethanol fireplace electric, it's important to let the flames completely burn out and to wait until the fire is cool before refilling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start all over again.
Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your ethonal fire. This gives you time to safely extinguish the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol away from the reach of pets and children.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it generates an ember and heat that can be controlled by a slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is fed to the fire you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.
The soot created by the fuel burning can be easily removed with the help of a soft clean cloth. The only other maintenance required is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and making sure it is kept away from any fire-prone objects or equipment.
Bioethanol electric fireplaces are simple to install, and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to be very flexible in designing your home, and the location you wish to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt for an open-air model that can be moved.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to set up and some models let you rotate the unit 180 degrees, which allows you to direct the heat and flame to the desired area of the room. You can even put an electronic remote control on some designs to take full control from the couch.
For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces come with brackets that let you attach them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. Installing the fireplace anywhere you want is possible, however, you can still make use of the remote control to turn off the fireplace and adjust the flame's height as well as adjust the temperature.
When you are not using your ethanol fire ensure that it is shut off and a safe distance away from any flammable materials or equipment. Do not add any fuel into the burner until it has reached the temperature of room temperature. Be careful when handling it because it is very hot.
