The Top Bio Ethanol Fireplace Experts Have Been Doing 3 Things
Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can bring a cozy feeling to any room without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are the most secure fireplace type that is available.

Installation is easy
Ethanol fireplaces are a straightforward and quick option for homeowners looking to transform their living area or add a focal piece to their home decor.

You only need to make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong and follow the instructions of the model you select.
If you decide to install an ethanol fireplace that is wall-mounted they are usually equipped with the hardware that allows them to be hung like a flat-screen TV or placed in the wall. You'll need to locate the studs and install the brackets and extensions, but it should not take more than an hour for an expert to do this.
You can also select between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning equipment. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it will burn longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners work in the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
It's important to remember when selecting a bioethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner properly, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.

Designs and styles

It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the flames are established and the fire is ablaze, you can sit back, relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Some ethanol fireplaces even come with adjustable temperature settings. This lets you adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.

Most manufacturers recommend that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire so you have enough time to properly remove the flames and ensure that all flammable materials are away from the flame. In addition, it's best to store any remaining fuel with ethanol out of reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from occurring.
Easy maintenance

By changing the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can adjust how quickly the fuel burns and how high the flame burns.
