Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can bring an inviting atmosphere to any space, without the need for expensive structure work or gas supply. They are the most secure fire type available.
If you use only bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for your fire, and follow all safety instructions then your fireplace will perform safely.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fires are a fast and simple solution for homeowners who wish to change the look of their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they won't create dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your ceilings or walls.
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 a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and doesn't require any expert assistance. All you need to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy enough and follow the guidelines for the specific model.
Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted come with the equipment needed to mount them like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. You'll need to find the studs and install the brackets and extensions however, it should not take more than an hour for an expert to do this.
You can also select between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning equipment. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. A manual burner works similarly to a traditional fireplace, but you'll require matches or a lighter to light the flames.
When selecting a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

wood fireplaces. They are perfect for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts were removed. They don't produce ash or soot, so there's no maintenance issues.
Designs and styles
There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces can be found in.

wood fireplace fires is that they don't need a flue in order to function. As a result, there's no chance of chimney fires that could be caused by the build-up of tar, or an obstruction in the flue.

It is essential to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refueling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will vaporize and you'll need to start again.
The majority of manufacturers advise that you allow at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have plenty of time to extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable substances are removed from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any spare fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from happening.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it generates an ember and heat that can be controlled with an adjustable slider (not all designs feature this). By changing the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.
The soot that is produced by the burning of fuel is easily removed using a the help of a soft clean cloth. The only other requirement is to keep the burner full of the correct fuel and ensure that it's kept away from dangerous materials or objects.
