All you have to do is ensure that the wall fires or ceiling is strong enough and follow the directions for the specific model.
Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted have the hardware necessary to install them as a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs and install the brackets and extensions however it should not take more than an hour for a professional to do so.
You also have a choice of manual or automatic bio ethanol burners. The automatic burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so it can burn for longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. A manual burner works in the same way as a traditional marble fireplace, however you'll need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is important to remember that the burner should be covered with non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.

They are great for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce ash or soot, so there are no maintenance concerns.
Styles and designs
Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces feature a traditional wood-burning look, while others feature modern and sleek designs. Whatever the design they all offer the same benefits: authentic flames with no gas or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models, on the other hand, are anchored to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.
The fire itself comes from the burner pan, which is situated on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is ignited using a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the flames are set then it's time to relax, sit back and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Some ethanol fire places have temperature settings that can be adjusted. This lets you alter the amount of heat that your fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want to give you more warmth than just ambiance.
Another benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent alternative for new homes or older homes without traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not generate toxic gases or ash that could pose a risk for those with respiratory issues.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install in your home. Although the exact time for installation depends on the model you select the majority are installed in a short time. You can pick a portable freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you in the event that you move. This is a great choice for living arrangements that are temporary. The ease of installation is an important factor for many consumers and is something that should not be ignored when choosing the perfect fireplace.
No Flu
The main benefit that Bioethanol Fire fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require an exhaust pipe to run. As a result, there's no chance of chimney fires that can be caused by the build-up of tar, or a blockage in the flue.
A bio ethanol fireplace doesn't produce a lot of particulates that can damage the air quality, which is a great thing for those who suffer from allergies or asthma. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, which means it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.
In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bioethanol fires don't lose much heat through the chimney, so it produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the flame without having to worry about catching a flame which could be dangerous for any valuables.
There are a variety of designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for an elegant and contemporary look by installing it on the wall or choose an recessed model that will fit in with the style of your room.
A burner that is either manual or automated is another option to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic burner will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.
When you've finished using your bioethanol fireplace it is important to let the flames completely go out and to wait until the marble fireplace is cool before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll have to start over.
The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to remove the flames, and to remove any flammable materials 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.
Maintenance is easy
Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces an ember and heat that can be controlled by an adjustable slider (not all designs include this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns, it produces a small amount of soot. However, this is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is keeping the burner properly fueled and making sure it is not too far from any flammable objects or equipment.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install, and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you great flexibility in designing your home, and also where you would like to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be incorporated into walls with ease, and some models can be rotated by 180 degrees to move the flame and heat to the desired location of your living space. Certain models come with remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from your couch.
A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets to enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. Installing the fireplace wherever you like is possible, but you can still make use of the remote control to shut it off and adjust the flame's height as well as adjust the temperature.
If you're not using your ethanol fireplace, be sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner is at the temperature of room temperature. Be cautious when handling it as it is very hot.
