Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are ideal to add a warm feel to any space without the expense of construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.

Installation is easy
Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick option for homeowners looking to make their living space more attractive or to add a focal point to their home decor. They don't require a flue and don't create dangerous smoke and you don't have to worry about the build-up of soot on your ceilings or walls.

You can also select between manual and automated bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames, which means it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. A manual burner works in the same way as an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
It is important to keep in mind that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

To avoid accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol out of reach of pets and children.

Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be controlled with a slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is supplied to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.
