Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for bringing a cozy feel to any room, without the expense of structure work or gas supply. They are also the safest kind of fire that is available.
If you only use bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for your fireplace, and adhere to all safety rules, then your fireplace should operate safely.
Easy installation
Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick option for homeowners looking to revamp their living space or to add a focal point to their home decor. There is no need for chimneys and they don't create dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your ceilings or walls.
If you decide to go with the complete fire suite - such as Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black from PS569 or an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is easy and doesn't require any expert assistance. All you need to do is make sure that your wall or ceiling is strong and follow the instructions of the model you choose.
If you decide to install a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace Most come with the hardware that allows them to be either hung as a flat-screen television or installed into the wall. It takes a professional about an hour to put in the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.
You can also pick between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning equipment. An automatic burner will keep the fuel away from the flames, which means it will burn longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners work similarly to a traditional fireplace, but you'll need matches or a lighter to light the flames.
It's important to remember that when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.
The ethanol fire is a great alternative for those looking to have a dramatic feature to bring to their home but do not have the time or budget to set up an electric or gas fireplace. They're a perfect option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce soot or ash, so there's no need for maintenance.
Designs and styles
There are many different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have an old-fashioned wood-burning style, while others feature modern and sleek design. Each model comes with the same advantages regardless of the style and ambiance free of harmful fumes or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and may require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain distances between the flammable material and the unit.
The fire is started through a burner pan, which is located in the middle of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan, and the fire is lit using a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Certain fireplaces with ethanol come with adjustable temperature settings. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat your fireplace generates.
A further benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent alternative for older homes or newer homes without chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fireplace does not release harmful gases or ash that are dangerous to people with respiratory conditions.
Installing bio ethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. The exact time to install them will depend on the type of fireplace you select. However, most models can be set up fairly quickly. You can also opt for a freestanding portable fireplace that you can carry with you when you decide to move, making it an ideal choice for a temporary living arrangement. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when you purchase the fireplace.
No Flu
The biggest advantage of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they do not require a chimney for operation. This means that there is no risk of chimney fires which could be caused by the build-up of tar, or a blockage in the flue.
A bio-ethanol fireplace also doesn't produce a lot of particles that could harm the air, which is great news for people who suffer from asthma or allergies. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, therefore it does not create a bad odor in the room.
Bioethanol fireplaces produce an enormous amount of heat, compared to wood burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture near the fire without having to worry about catching a flame, which could be dangerous for any valuables.
There are several designs available for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose one that is wall-mounted for an elegant, modern appearance or a recessed one which will blend in with the design of your room.
A manual or automatic burner is another option to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automated one will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.
It is crucial to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refueling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will vaporize and you'll have to start over.
The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to safely remove the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any ethanol fuel that you have left out of reach of pets and children.
Maintenance ease
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using an adjustable slider. (Not all models have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is supplied to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.
As the fuel burns it releases tiny amounts of soot. However, this is easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the burner filled with the correct fuel and ensure that it's not in contact with items or materials that are flammable.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces are easy to set up and you don't need to worry about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a huge amount of flexibility in the design of your home and also where you can take pleasure in the warmth and ambiance of your new fireplace. You could even choose to have a free-standing fireplace that can be moved from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to set up and some models let you rotate the unit by 180 degrees, allowing you to the flame and heat to be directed to the desired area of the room. Certain models come with remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from your couch.
For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that allow you to attach them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. The fireplace can be installed wherever you'd like is possible however, you can still utilize the remote control to turn off the fireplace, adjust flame height and set temperature.
If you're not using your ethanol fire ensure that it is shut off and is away from any flammable substances or supplies. Also, don't attempt to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Always be careful when handling the burner since it is extremely hot.
