Installation is easy

Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick solution for homeowners who want to make their living space more attractive or add a focal piece to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and don't create dangerous smoke and you don't have to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your ceilings or walls.

Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted include the equipment needed to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It will take an experienced professional approximately one hour to mount the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.

You can also select between manual and automated bio ethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, meaning it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners function exactly like fireplaces, but you'll need matches or lighters in order to ignite 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 materials to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the fire could overheat and damage the fireplace.

The Ethanol fireplace insert is a wonderful choice for those who want an impressive feature to bring to their home but do not have the money or time to set up a gas or wood fireplace. They are great for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts were removed. And, because they don't produce soot or ash, there's no problems with maintenance, either.

Designs and styles

There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some have a more traditional wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to look modern and sleek. Each model comes with the same advantages regardless of style: a real flame ambience free of harmful fumes or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the space that is caused by tar buildup or blockage.

A bio ethanol fireplace does not produce many particles that can harm the air quality, which is a great thing for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, which means it won't cause unpleasant odor in the room.

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose a lot of heat up the chimney, which means it produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture near the fire without worrying about it burning which could be hazardous.

There are many designs to choose from for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose an installation on the wall for an elegant, modern appearance or a recessed one which will blend in with the design of your room.

Another thing to consider is whether you want an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automated one will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.

It is important that you allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the flame cools before refilling. In the event that you don't, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start over.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have enough time to safely remove the flames and ensure all flammable substances are removed from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any leftover fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from occurring.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then lit. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled by a slider. (Not all models have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.

The soot produced from the combustion of fuel is easily removed using a an easy, clean cloth. The only other maintenance is to keep the burner full of the correct fuel and to ensure it's not in contact with flammable materials or objects.

Another benefit of bio ethanol fires is that you can set them almost anywhere, without having to worry about chimneys or building regulations. This allows you to be very flexible when designing your home and the location you wish to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You could even choose to have a freestanding model that you can move from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to set up and some models allow you to rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you the flame and heat to be directed 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.

To maximize versatility, a lot of the plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that let you connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it, and be capable of turning it off or on, adjust the flame height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.

If you're not using your ethanol fireplace, be sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable items or materials. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled to room temperature. Also, be careful when handling the fire as it is extremely hot.
