You'll have to locate the studs and install the brackets and extensions however, it will not take more than one hour for professionals to do it.

You can also select between manual and automatic bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, which means it can burn for longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners operate exactly like fireplaces, with the exception that you'll need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.

It's important to remember that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could become too hot and damage the fireplace.

They are perfect for renovations and new homes where chimney breasts were removed. Since they do not produce soot or ash, there aren't any issues with maintenance, either.

Styles and designs

There are many different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some are more traditional in their wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to look modern and sleek. Whatever the design they all offer the same benefits: real flame ambience without fumes or harmful gases.

Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.

The fire itself originates from a burner pan that is situated on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is lit using an extended lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full flame potential. Once the fire is lit you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.

Some ethanol fireplaces even have adjustable heat settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat the fireplace produces.

No Flu

The major advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need a flue to operate. This means that there is no chance of chimney fires which could be caused by the accumulation of tar or a blockage in the flue.

A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn't produce a lot of particles that can harm the air quality, which is great news for people who suffer from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there isn't any smoke generated by the fire which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.

Another thing to think about is whether you would prefer an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires that you ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.

It is important that you let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll need to start from scratch.

Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to extinguish the flames, and remove any flammable materials from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from the reach of children and pets.

Easy maintenance

The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then ignited. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled with a slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By altering how much oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can alter the speed at which the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

The soot created from the combustion of fuel can be easily cleaned with a an easy, clean cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the burner is properly fueled and ensuring that it is kept away from any flammable objects or equipment.

Certain models come with remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace insert from the comfort of your couch.

A majority of bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets to allow them to be affixed to a flat ceiling or sloping one. Installing the fireplace wherever you'd like is possible but you can still utilize the remote control to turn it off and adjust the flame's height as well as set the temperature.
