Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room, without the expense of structural work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire you can find.
If you only use bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for your fireplace and you adhere to all safety rules, then your fireplace should perform in a safe manner.
Installation is simple
Ethanol fires are a quick and easy option for homeowners who wish to change the look of their living space or make a focal point of their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't produce dangerous smoke, so you don't have to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your walls or ceilings.
Whether you opt for the complete fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black from PS569 or a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you need to do is make sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and follow the directions of the model you pick.
If you decide to install an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall Most come with the necessary hardware to allow them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV, or installed into the wall. It will take a professional about an hour to put in the brackets, extensions and find the studs.
There is also the option of manual or automated bio ethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel away from the flames, which means it will burn longer without running out or overheating. A manual burner operates similarly to a traditional fireplace, but you'll need to use matches or lighters to light the flames.
It's important to remember when choosing a bio ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.
The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful choice for those who want an eye-catching feature to bring to their home but don't have the time or money to set up a gas or wood fireplace. They're an excellent choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate soot or ash, 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 have an old-fashioned wood-burning style, while others feature a sleek and modern design. Every type of fireplace comes with the same advantages regardless of design and ambiance without harmful gases or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be wall-mounted or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models, on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.
The fire is started by a burner pan located in the middle of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is lit by a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is lit you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.
Some ethanol fire places have temperature settings that can be adjusted. This lets you adjust the amount of heat the fireplace produces.
A further benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for new homes or older homes without traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fire does not release harmful gases or ash, which can be dangerous for people with respiratory conditions.
Installing bio ethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. The exact time to install them will depend on the model you choose. However, most models can be installed quickly. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace which can be transported with you when you move. This is a great option for temporary living arrangements. The ease of installation is an important factor for many people, and it is something that should not be overlooked when looking for an upgrade to your fireplace.
No Flu
The major advantage that bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't require an exhaust pipe to run. There is no danger of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or a blockage.
A bio ethanol fireplace doesn't produce a lot of particles that can harm the air quality, which is a great thing for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there isn't any smoke produced by the fireplace and, therefore, it doesn't cause an unpleasant smell in the room.
Bioethanol fireplaces produce lots of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This lets you keep your furniture near the fire without having to worry about it getting caught on fire which could be hazardous.
If you opt for a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can opt for an elegant and contemporary look with a wall-mounted model, or you can get one that is recessed to blend in with the design of your room.
Another thing to think about is whether you'd prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic burner will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.
It is crucial to allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refueling. If you don't, the ethanol could evaporate and you'll need to start over.
Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to remove the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel out of reach of pets and children.
Maintenance ease
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the fireplace and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it generates a flame and heat that can be adjusted using the slider (not all designs have this feature). By altering how much oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can alter how fast the fuel burns, and how high the flame burns.
As the fuel burns it releases tiny amounts of soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the fireplace is filled with the correct fuel and making sure it is not too far from any fire-prone objects or equipment.
Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and you don't need to worry about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a lot of flexibility in the design of your home and also where you would like to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt for a freestanding model that is portable.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to set up and some models allow you to rotate the unit 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the heat and flame into the desired part of the room. Certain models come with remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
To maximize versatility, a lot of the plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that allow you to attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. Installing the fireplace wherever you'd like is possible but you can still use the remote control to turn it off or adjust the flame's height and set temperature.
If you're not using your ethanol flame, make sure that it is shut off and a safe distance away from any flammable materials or supplies. Also, don't attempt to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled to room temperature. Also, be careful when handling the burner since it is very hot.
