UNDERSTANDING BIO ETHANOL
Bio ethanol is a liquid fuel derived from cereal crops. The products of combustion within a bio ethanol fire are simply carbon dioxide and water vapour – the very same that we breathe out daily. It’s important to note that bio ethanol does not generate the large quantities of water vapour associated with older Calor gas heaters.
Aside from its versatility in terms of design and installation, bio ethanol fires are also soot-free, smokeless and require no gas supply. They are therefore as low-maintenance as an electric fireplace or stove.
For when servicing is required, our team of engineers are able to assist with a variety of servicing & repair works.
THE TYPES OF BIO ETHANOL FIREPLACES WE OFFER
There are several types of bio-ethanol fire available, from simple cylindrical containers to advanced computer-controlled systems. Many of the ‘simple’ container-style fires feature a ceramic filling to reduce or prevent the spillage of fuel should the fire be upturned.
We’re delighted to offer a premium range of bio-ethanol fires from Planika – experts in revolutionary fire design and technology. The Planika range features a separate fuel container within the fire, allowing ethanol vapour to pass along the pipework and into the burner. The result is a cleaner, safer burn and greater control for the end-user regarding flame height.
Planika’s Lincoln bio-ethanol fire is particularly impressive and virtually indistinguishable from a gas fire. It can be installed free-standing or using the insert version – the L-Fire – built into a unit or existing fireplace.
In addition to our stunning collection, we stock a range of accessories designed to enhance your fireplace experience. Make sure to see it for yourself now!
BIO ETHANOL FAQs
What is bio-ethanol fuel?
Bio-ethanol fuel, also known as bioethanol or ecological alcohol, is a renewable fuel made from fermented plant material like corn, wheat, or sugar cane. It burns clean, producing minimal smoke and ash.
Are bio-ethanol fireplaces safe?
Yes, bio-ethanol fireplaces are generally safe when used correctly. They burn clean and don’t require a flue, making them ideal for modern homes. However, it’s important to follow safety guidelines, such as never refuelling a lit fire and keeping flammable materials away from the fireplace.
Do bio-ethanol fireplaces smell?
High-quality bio-ethanol fuel burns with minimal odour. However, some low-grade fuels may have a slight smell. Look for denatured bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for fireplaces.
