It is all you have to do is sure that your wall or ceiling is sturdy and follow the directions of the model you choose.

Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the equipment needed to mount them either like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You'll need to find the studs and install the brackets and extensions however, it should not take more than an hour for a professional to do so.

You can also choose of automatic or manual bio ethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel away from the flames, which means it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. A manual burner operates in the same way as a traditional fireplace, however you'll need to use matches or lighters to light the flames.

When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it's worth remembering that the burner needs to be covered with non-combustible materials to make sure 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.

Designs and styles

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Some are more traditional in their wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to be modern and sleek. No matter what style, each type offers the same benefits: real flame ambience without smoke or toxic gases.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.

The fire is made by a burner pan located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is then lit with a long-lasting lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the flames have been established then it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.

Certain marble fireplaces with ethanol have adjustable temperature settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.

Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for new homes or older homes without traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not emit harmful gases or ash, which can be dangerous for people suffering from respiratory ailments.

Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install in your home. The exact time to install them will depend on the model you choose. However, the majority of models can be set up fairly quickly.

No Flu

The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is the fact that they don't require a chimney for operation. In the end, 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 doesn't produce numerous particles that could affect the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there is no smoke that is produced by the fire which means it doesn't produce a bad smell in the room.

As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat through the chimney, and therefore can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This lets you keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about it burning, which could be dangerous.

There are a variety of designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose an elegant and contemporary look with a wall-mounted model or choose an recessed model that will fit in with the style of your room.

Another thing to think about is whether you'd prefer a manual or an automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automated one will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.

It is important that you allow the flames to 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 that you allow at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire, so that you have enough time to properly extinguish the flames and ensure all materials that are flammable are kept away from the fire. To avoid any accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from pets and children.

Ease of maintenance

Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled by the slider (not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel burns, and how high the flame burns.

When the fuel is burned, it releases tiny amounts of soot, but this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the burner is full of the correct fuel and ensuring it's a safe distance away from any flammable objects or other equipment.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are easy to install and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to be very flexible when designing your home and where you want to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt to have a free-standing fireplace that can be moved from room to room.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees so you can direct the flame and heat to the desired location of your home. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from your couch.

A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that enable them to be fixed to a flat ceiling or an inclined one. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you want it while being in a position to turn it off or on and alter the flame's height, and set the temperature using the remote control.

If you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it away from any flammable items or materials. Do not add any fuel into the burner until it is at temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it's extremely hot.
