Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can bring warmth to any room without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are the safest fireplace type that is available.
If you use bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fireplace and adhere to the safety guidelines your fireplace will be very safe to operate.
Installation is simple
Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick option for homeowners looking to transform their living area or add a focal point to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't produce dangerous smoke and you don't have to worry about the build-up of soot on your walls or ceilings.
If you decide to go with an entire fire suite - for example, Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 - or a freestanding 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. All you need to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy and follow the directions for the model you pick.
Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted include the equipment needed to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It will take a professional about an hour to mount the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.
You can also select between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning devices. The automated burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so it can burn for longer without the risk of overheating or running out. Manual burners work exactly like fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.
It's important to remember that when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.
The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful choice for those who want an impressive feature to bring to their home but do not have the time or money to set up a gas or wood fireplace. They are great for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts were removed. They also do not produce soot or ash, there's no maintenance issues to worry about, either.
Styles and designs

Every type of fireplace comes with the same advantages regardless of the style and ambiance free of harmful gasses or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the space to meet your requirements.

The process takes around 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full flame potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can relax and enjoy your home's warm atmosphere.
Certain ethanol fireplaces have adjustable temperature settings. This lets you adjust the amount of heat the fireplace produces.

Most manufacturers recommend that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have enough time to properly remove the flames and ensure all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any ethanol fuel that you have left out of reach of pets and children.
Maintenance is easy
The bio ethanol fuel is poured into the burner, and then ignited. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled by an adjustable slider. (Not all models have this feature). By altering how much oxygen is supplied to the fire you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.
The soot created by the burning of fuel can be easily cleaned with a the help of a soft clean cloth. The only other maintenance is to ensure that the burner is full of the correct fuel and ensure that it is kept away from any items or materials that are flammable.

This gives you a lot of flexibility in designing your home, and where you want to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can also opt to have a free-standing fireplace that can be moved from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to install, and certain models let you rotate the unit 180 degrees, which allows you to direct the flame and heat towards the desired location of the room. Certain models come with remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
For maximum versatility, many of the plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces have brackets that let you attach them to a flat or sloping ceiling. The fireplace can be installed wherever you want is possible, but you can still make use of the remote control to shut it off, adjust flame height and adjust the temperature.
