As long as you make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fireplace and adhere to the safety guidelines the fireplace will be very safe to operate.
Easy installation
Ethanol fires are a simple and easy solution for homeowners looking to transform their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. There is no need for chimneys and they won't create dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your walls or ceilings.
It doesn't matter if you choose an entire fire suite - like 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 easy and does not require any assistance from a specialist. It is all you have to do is sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy and adhere to the instructions of the model you select.
The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted include the necessary hardware to mount them like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It takes an experienced professional around an hour to mount the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.
You can also choose between automatic and manual bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, which means it will burn longer without running out or overheating. A manual burner operates in the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need matches or lighters to light the flames.
When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner must be covered with non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.
The Ethanol fire is a fantastic option for those looking for an eye-catching feature to enhance their home but do not have the money or time to install a gas or wood fireplace. They are great for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts were removed. Since they do not produce soot or ash, there are no issues with maintenance also.
Styles and designs
There are a number of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport a traditional wood-burning look and others have modern and sleek designs. Each model has the same benefits, regardless of the style and ambiance without harmful gasses or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and may require special mounting equipment. They must also meet certain clearance distances from flammable substances.
The fire itself is created by a burner pan situated at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full potential for flame. Once the flames are set then it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Some ethanol fire places even provide temperature settings that can be altered. This lets you adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.
A further benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them a great option for new homes or older homes that do not have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not generate toxic gases or ash, which can be dangerous for those with respiratory issues.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also simple. The time required to install will depend on the model you choose. However, most models can be installed fairly quickly. You can pick an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you if ever you move. This is a great option for temporary living arrangements. It is important to consider the ease of installation when purchasing a fireplace.
No flue
The main benefit of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is the fact that they do not require a chimney to function. In the end, there is no chance of chimney fires which could be caused by the build-up of tar, or obstructions in the flue.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release numerous particles that could harm the air. This is beneficial for people with allergies or asthma. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, so it doesn't create a bad odor in the room.
Bio ethanol fireplaces produce an enormous amount of heat compared to wood-burning fires. This allows you to keep your furniture near the fire without worrying about it getting caught on fire, which could be dangerous.
If you opt for a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs you can choose from. You can choose modern and sleek design by installing it on the wall or opt for one that is recessed to fit in with the style of your space.
Another thing to consider is whether you'd prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.
It is essential to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the flame cools before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll need to start over.
The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you time to safely extinguish the flames, and remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any spare ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from occurring.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be controlled by a slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
The soot created by the burning of fuel is easily removed using a a soft clean cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the fireplace topped up with the right fuel and ensure that it's kept away from items or materials that are flammable.

This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home and also where you can enjoy the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can even opt to have a free-standing fireplace that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees to direct the flame and heat to the desired location of your living space. Some models come with a remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
For maximum versatility, many of the plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces come with brackets that let you connect them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you like it, and be capable of turning the flame off or on and adjust the flame's height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.
