If you choose an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall Most come with the fittings that allow them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV or recessed into the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to put in the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.
There is also the option of manual or automatic bioethanol burners. The automatic burner keeps the fuel from the flames, so that it can burn for longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. Manual burners function similar to fireplaces, but you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.
When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner must be covered by non-combustible material to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This can damage the fireplace suite.
Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those who want to create a striking feature in their home but don't have the money or time to set up gas or wood electric fireplaces. They're an excellent option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They also don't produce soot or ash, there are no problems with maintenance, either.
Designs and styles
There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have a traditional wood-burning look and others have a sleek and modern design. Each model has the same benefits, regardless of style and ambiance without toxic gases or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls 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. The process takes about 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full potential for flame. Once the flames are established then it's time to relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Some ethanol fire places have heat settings that can be adjusted. This allows you to customize the amount of heat that your fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want it to provide more warmth than just ambiance.
Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for homes that are new or older homes without traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release numerous particles that could cause harm to the air. This is great for people suffering from allergies or asthma. Another benefit is that there is no smoke produced by the fireplace which means it doesn't produce a bad smell in the room.
Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bioethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat to the chimney, and therefore can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This allows you to place your furniture in close proximity to the flame without worrying about it burning which could be hazardous.
If you choose to install a freestanding bioethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can pick an installation on the wall for a sleek, modern look or a recessed unit which will blend in with the design of your room.

After you've used your bio-ethanol fireplace suites, it is essential to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the burner is cool before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol may evaporate and you will have to start from scratch.
The majority of manufacturers advise that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure that you have plenty of time to safely put out the flames, and make sure that all flammable materials are away from the flame. Additionally, it is recommended to store any leftover ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from happening.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled using the slider. (Not all models have this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns, it releases tiny amounts of soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement is to keep the burner topped up with the right fuel and ensure that it is kept away from any items or materials that are flammable.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install and you don't need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes.

You can also choose a freestanding fireplace that can be moved.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated by 180 degrees so you can move the flame and heat to the desired space of your room. You can even mount a remote control onto some models to control the entire thing from the comfort of your sofa.
For maximum flexibility, a majority of the plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that permit you to attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling.
