All you have to do is make sure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the instructions for your specific model.

The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the hardware necessary to mount them like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs and fit the brackets and extensions however, it should not take more than an hour for a professional to do so.

You also have a choice of manual or automated bio ethanol burners. The automated burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so that it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or running out of. Manual burners function exactly like fireplaces, with the exception that you'll require matches or lighters to light 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 your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.

Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those looking to create a dramatic focal point in their home but don't have the funds or time to set up a wood or gas fireplace. They're the perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce soot or ash, so there's no need for maintenance.

Designs and styles

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to be sleek and modern. Regardless of the style the fireplaces all have the same benefits: authentic flame ambience without gas or smoke.

Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and require special mounting gear. They must also meet certain clearance distances from flammable materials.

The fire itself is created by a burner pan that is situated on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes for the fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in the warm ambience of your home.

Certain ethanol fire places provide heat settings that can be altered. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat that the fireplace inserts produces.

This makes them an excellent option for homes that are new or older ones that don't have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces.

Installing bioethanol fireplaces into your home is also easy. Although the exact time for installation will depend on the model you select, most are installed in a short time. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you in the event that you move. This is an ideal option for living arrangements that are temporary.

No flu

The major benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional wood fireplaces or gas fires is that they don't require a flue in order to function. There is no risk of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or blockage.

A bio-ethanol fireplace also doesn't create a lot of particles that can harm the air, which is a great thing for those suffering from asthma or allergies. The fire doesn't produce smoke, so it does not create a bad smell in the room.

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bioethanol fires don't lose a lot of heat up the chimney, which means it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture close to the flame without worrying about it getting caught on fire, which could be dangerous.

There are several designs available for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can select an installation on the wall for modern, sleek design or a recessed one which will blend in with the design of your room.

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

It is crucial to allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refueling. Otherwise, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start again.

The majority of manufacturers advise that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so that you have plenty of time to safely extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable materials are away from the fire. To avoid any accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from the reach of pets and children.

Easy maintenance

The bio ethanol fuel is added to the burner and then lit. The flame and heat produced by the burning fuel can be controlled by a slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By altering how much oxygen is supplied to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.

As the fuel burns it creates some soot, which is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the burner filled with the correct fuel and to ensure it's kept away from dangerous materials or objects.

Another advantage of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere without having to worry about chimney regulations or building regulations. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home and where you can experience the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You can even opt for a freestanding fireplace that is portable.

Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees so you can focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your room. Some models include a remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.

Many of the bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets to enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you like it and still be in a position to turn it off or on and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.

When you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable items or materials. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner is at the temperature of room temperature. Be cautious when handling it as it is very hot.
