All you need to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is sturdy enough and follow the guidelines for the model you have chosen.

Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the equipment needed to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs and fit the brackets and extensions however it should not take more than an hour for an expert to do this.

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

When you choose a burner to use in your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible material to ensure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could overheat and damage the fireplace.

They are perfect for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create ash or soot, so there's no need for maintenance.

Designs and styles

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport the traditional wood-burning appearance and others sport modern and sleek design. Whatever the design, each type offers the same benefits: authentic flame ambience without fumes or harmful gases.

Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models on the contrary, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They must also comply with certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.

The fire is made by a burner pan located in the middle of the electric fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan, and the fire is lit using an extended lighter. It 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.

Some ethanol fire places provide heat settings that can be altered. This lets you adjust the amount of heat that the fireplace produces.

A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for homes that are new or older homes without traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces.

No Flu

The major advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't require a flue to operate. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.

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

In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat through the chimney, and therefore produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about catching fire which could be dangerous for any valuables.

If you opt for a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace stove there are different designs you can choose from. You can choose one that is wall-mounted for modern, sleek design or a recessed one that blends into the design of your room.

A manual or automatic burner is another thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic burner will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.

It is essential to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol may evaporate and you'll need to start again.

Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will give you time to safely extinguish the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any remaining fuel ethanol out of reach of pets and children.

Easy maintenance

The bio ethanol fuel is added to the burner and then ignited. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled by a slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can adjust how quickly the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.

The soot that is produced by the fuel burning can be easily cleaned with a a soft, clean cloth. The only other thing to do is keeping the burner full of the correct fuel and ensuring it is kept away from any flammable items or supplies.

Bio-ethanol fireplaces are easy to install and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home, and also where you can experience the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You can even choose an open-air model that is portable.

Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and some models let you rotate the unit 180 degrees, allowing you direct the heat and flame towards the desired location of the room. You can also mount remote controls on some of the models to control the entire thing from the couch.

Many wall-mounted bioethanol fire fireplaces are equipped with brackets to enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. Installing the fireplace wherever you like is possible, however, you can still use the remote control to shut it off, adjust flame height and set temperature.

When you're not using your ethanol fireplace, make sure to shut it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled to room temperature and always be cautious when handling the burner since it is extremely hot.
