What Is A Bioethanol Hanging Fireplace?

We often get questions such as "what are bio ethanol fires?", and in this case, we would like to explain precisely what a bioethanol hanging fireplace is. The name derives from its placement in a room where it is installed into the ceiling or wall, whereas it can be seen floating or hanging from the upper parts of a room. This design is especially appealing for those looking for an innovative fireplace, or perhaps when the room does not have too much space to offer; in this case, a floating fireplace is the perfect addition to one's home.

You can get an elaborate explanation how to install the fireplace below, as well as a video demonstrating the entire process in simplified steps. This makes it easy for anyone to learn the installation of a floating fire without any need for inconveniences.

Installation of a Ceiling Mounted Bio Ethanol Fire

The installation of a bio ethanol hanging fire is relatively easy. However, for safety and ease we recommend that a minimum of two individuals carry out the installation together. Our bio pendent fireplace often consists of two parts: The piping and the bio fireplace itself.

The easiest way to install your suspended bioethanol fireplace is to assemble these two parts first. Furthermore, this provides you with a better idea of the size of the fireplace and, therefore, how and where the bioethanol fire should be placed within the room.

After the assembly of the biofire, you need to mount it to the ceiling. This is done with the enclosed screws. After the floating bioethanol fire has been mounted into the ceiling and before it is first ignited, it is a good idea to make sure that your new fireplace is mounted correctly and will not fall down.

Selection of Colours

Regardless of the category – freestanding, ceiling mounted, or built in – the black coloured fireplaces have always been the most popular types of bioethanol fireplaces. We simply love the black colour and the way it fits perfectly with the orange flames. Orange and black provide a fantastic engagement, even on our own logo – simply amazing!

Gradually the white colour has become more and more sought out but often it has its limitations when it comes to fireplaces. While the orange flames and the white frame look good together, the hot flame might cause stains on the white colour. That is why discolourations might appear if the white frame of the fireplace gets too close to the flame.

Even though the flame is incredibly unique and beautiful, the most sold colours for the bio ethanol fires are definitely black, steel, and other dark colours. Steel is also often used in these types of fireplaces; it can be brushed steel, stainless steel, or polished steel. They are not nearly as delicate as e.g. the white shade. The price can vary depending on the type of steel.

For instance, some bio ethanol fires in polished steel are much more expensive than others. This can be due to extra processing during the manufacturing phase. However, some manufacturers are not 100% set on their selection of fireplaces, so please do not hesitate contacting us if you have a certain colour in mind.

Additional Selections

There are plenty of options when considering the purchase of a fireplace. We previously focused on additional customisation of colour of a ceiling mounted fireplace, but consider an alternate placement as well. Where the ceiling mounted fire fits, the wall mounted bio ethanol fire is sure to adapt seamlessly into the wall as either contribution or replacement of a ceiling fire. This is entirely up to the choice of the one designing the room, where anyone can become a master of the aesthetics in their room and opening up limitless possibility of attraction through professionally designed fireplaces with flames more than easy to handle.

How Much does it Cost?

The price is often a crucial parameter when it comes to buying and selling bio ethanol fires and different fireplaces can vary in price. Therefore, it is an important issue to consider when choosing a new fireplace.

We offer three levels of prices in this category: the standard, the UFO series, and the stylish Aeris. The price often covers the materials and resources necessary in the manufacturing process. A higher price is an indication of a better quality product with more details.

Who are the Manufacturers?

Currently only a small selection of bioethanol fireplaces are on the market. The reason is that finding the perfect design is crucial in order to become a success. The bioethanol fireplaces are very eye-catching as they are placed on the level of the eyes.

The bioethanol fireplaces provide a fantastic effect, which may be caused in part by the rarity of such ceiling mounted fireplaces due to their complicated construction.

However, a floating ceiling mounted wood burning stove as well as gas fireplace, also exist. Yet the most critically acclaimed ceiling mounted fireplace is manufactured by Cocoon Fires, which is based in Spain and owned by the Australian company Anthony.

They have put great care into developing the fireplace and the work has paid off. Federico Atero has brought the Cocoon Aeris fireplace into our hearts and homes and even the architects are impressed.

Another manufacturer of ceiling mounted fireplaces, or floating fireplaces if you will, is Hein and Haugaard situated in the north of Denmark. These two bioethanol fireplace alternatives differ significantly from each other design wise.

The Hein and Haugaard fireplace is more industrial in style. It is available in four different colours and the length of the pole is adjustable upon request. Both manufacturers also produce a freestanding version made for floors; Hein and Haugaard offer a one-footed version while Cocoon Fires do both a pedestal version and the tripod model Terra.

What safety features are included with a ceiling mounted bioethanol fire?

When it comes to safety, ceiling mounted bioethanol fires have several features in place to ensure a secure and experience free from worry. These safety features include:

High Placement of Flames: The flames in a ceiling mounted bioethanol fire are positioned at a higher level compared to traditional fireplaces. This reduces the risk of accidental contact with the flames, making it safer, especially in homes with children or pets.

Secure Mounting: These fireplaces are mounted directly into the ceiling using a robust bracket system. This ensures a secure and stable installation where you are able to install the fireplace in most locations without any problem.

Flame Regulation: Depending on the burner, some ceiling mounted bioethanol fireplaces come equipped with a flame regulation system. This allows you to adjust the height and intensity of the flames, giving you control over the heat output and ensuring optimal safety in your space.

Fuel Spill Prevention: These fireplaces are designed with spill prevention mechanisms to ensure that the bioethanol fuel remains contained within the burner. This reduces the risk of accidental spills and reduces the potential for fire hazards.

Ventilation: Unlike traditional fires, the ceiling mounted bioethanol fireplaces do not require chimneys for ventilation. Since bioethanol is naturally produced and emits next to no CO₂.

Are ceiling mounted bioethanol fires environmentally friendly?

Yes, ceiling mounted bioethanol fires are indeed environmentally friendly. Unlike traditional wood-burning fireplaces, these fireplaces do not produce any smoke or harmful emissions. They are fueled by bioethanol, which is a renewable and sustainable source of energy derived from plant materials. Bioethanol burns cleanly and efficiently, producing only water vapour and a small amount of carbon dioxide. Overall, ceiling mounted bioethanol fires provide a sustainable and eco-friendly heating solution for homeowners.

Are ceiling mounted bioethanol fires easy to operate?

Yes, ceiling mounted bioethanol fires are incredibly easy to operate. These stylish fireplaces provide a convenient and hassle-free heating solution for homeowners. The bioethanol fuel used in these fireplaces is clean-burning and does not require a chimney or vent, making it manageable to use. To operate the fireplace, simply fill the bioethanol burner with fuel, ignite it with a long lighter or match, and adjust the flame using the built-in control mechanism. The absence of a chimney or vent also means that there is no need to worry about smoke, soot, or ash, making maintenance and cleaning a breeze. With their easy installation and user-friendly operation, ceiling mounted bioethanol fires offer homeowners a simple and efficient way to enjoy the warmth and ambience of a fireplace.

Are ceiling mounted bioethanol fires suitable for small rooms?

Yes, ceiling mounted bioethanol fires can be suitable for small rooms. These fireplaces are designed to be space-saving and can be mounted directly into the ceiling with a bracket, which means they do not take up any space on the floor. This makes them a great option for small rooms where floor space may be limited.

Additionally, ceiling mounted bioethanol fires offer a unique and stylish heating solution for small rooms. They provide a focal point in the room and can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to the space.
