Styles and designs

There are a number of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces come in.

Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models on the contrary, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.

The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to safely eliminate the flames and then remove any flammable material from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any spare fuel with ethanol out of reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from occurring.
