Installation is easy

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

You also have a choice of manual or automatic bioethanol burners. The automated burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so it can burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. Manual burners operate similar to fireplaces, with the exception that you'll need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.

When choosing a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it's worth remembering that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible material to ensure that nothing comes into 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 fire is a fantastic choice for those who want an eye-catching feature to bring to their home but don't have the money or time to install a gas or wood fireplace. They are great for new construction and renovations in which chimney breasts were removed. They don't produce soot or ash, so there's no maintenance issues.

Designs and styles

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature an old-fashioned wood-burning style and others have modern and sleek designs. Whatever the design they all offer the same benefits: authentic flame ambience without gas or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding fireplace. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and may require specialized mounting gear. They must also comply with certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.

The fire is started through a burner pan, which is located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is lit using an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is lit you can relax and enjoy your home's warm atmosphere.

Some ethanol fire places provide temperature settings that can be altered. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which is beneficial if you wish to give you more warmth than just ambience.

A further benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for homes that are new or older homes without traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. A bio-ethanol fireplace does not emit harmful gasses or ash, which can be dangerous for people with respiratory conditions.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. While the exact installation time will depend on the model you choose the majority can be installed relatively quickly. You can also opt for an open-air fireplace stove which you can take with you when you decide to move, making it a great option to use as a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a crucial factor for many people, and it is something that should not be ignored when looking for the perfect fireplace insert.

No flu

The biggest advantage of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they do not require a chimney for operation. In the end, there is no chance of chimney fires that could be caused by a build-up of tar or an obstruction in the flue.

A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce many particulates, which can affect the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another benefit is that there isn't any smoke that is produced by the fire and therefore it doesn't create an unpleasant smell in the room.

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace a bio ethanol ethonal fire doesn't lose a lot of heat through the chimney, so it produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the flame without having to worry about catching a flame which could be dangerous for any valuables.

If you opt for a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace, there are a few options to pick from. You can choose a wall-mounted model for a sleek, modern look or a recessed one that will blend into the design of your space.

Another thing to think about is whether you want a manual or an automatic burner. A manual burner requires that you ignite the fuel from the reservoir. An automatic burner will light your fire automatically after the tank is completely empty.

It is important that you allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol may evaporate and you'll need to start from scratch.

The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to extinguish the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any remaining fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from occurring.

Maintenance is easy

The bioethanol fuel is put into the burner and then lit. As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled with the slider (not all designs feature this). By altering how much oxygen is supplied to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.

The soot produced from the combustion of fuel can be easily cleaned with a a soft clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the burner topped up with the right fuel and to ensure it's kept away from dangerous materials or objects.

Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can install them virtually anywhere without needing to worry about chimneys or building regulations. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility when it comes to the design of your home and where you can take pleasure in the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall fires with ease, and some models can be rotated 180 degrees, allowing you to move the flame and heat to the desired location of your room. You can also mount an electronic remote control on some models to control the entire thing from the couch.

Many wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets to allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloping one. Installing the fireplace wherever you'd like is possible however, you'll still be able to make use of the remote control to turn it off and adjust the flame's height as well as set the temperature.

When you are not using your ethanol flame, make sure that it is off and kept away from any flammable materials or other equipment. Also, don't add fuel to the burner until it has cooled to room temperature and always be careful when handling the burner since it will be very hot.
