Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the equipment needed to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It will take an experienced professional approximately one hour to install the brackets, extensions and find the studs.

There is also the option of manual or automatic bio ethanol burners. The automatic burner keeps the fuel from the flames, so that it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. Manual burners operate exactly like fireplaces, with the exception that you will need matches or lighters to light the flames.

When you choose a burner to use in your bio-ethanol fireplace it's important to keep in mind that the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could become too hot and damage the fireplace.

The ethanol fire is a great alternative for those looking to have an eye-catching feature to bring to their home but don't have the money or time to build wood or gas fireplaces. They are great for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate soot or ash, which means there's no need for maintenance.

Styles and designs

Bio ethanol fireplaces come in different styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have an old-fashioned wood-burning style, while others feature modern and sleek designs. Regardless of the style they all offer the same benefits: genuine flames with no smoke or toxic gases.

Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and may require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.

No flue

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

It is important that you allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refueling. In the event that you don't, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start all over again.

Most manufacturers suggest that you wait at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have enough time to properly remove the flames and ensure that all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any leftover fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from occurring.

Easy maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. As the fuel burns, it generates the appearance of a flame and the heat can be adjusted using an adjustable slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is supplied to the fire you can alter the speed at which the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
