Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room without the expense of structure work or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.
If you use bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically formulated for your fireplace and adhere to the safety guidelines, your fireplace should be safe to operate.
Installation is simple
Ethanol fires are a fast and simple solution for homeowners who wish to change the look of their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. There is no need for a chimney and they don’t emit dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.
It doesn't matter if you choose an entire fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 or an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is simple and doesn't require any expert assistance. You only need to make sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and adhere to the directions of the model you select.
The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the hardware necessary to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. You'll need to find the studs and fit the brackets and extensions however, it will not take more than one hour for a professional to do so.
There is also the option of manual or automatic bio ethanol burners. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without risk of running out or overheating. A manual burner operates in the same way as a traditional fireplace, but you'll require matches or a lighter to light the flames.
When you choose a burner to use in your bio ethanol fireplace, it's worth remembering that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible material to ensure that nothing comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.
Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those looking to create a dramatic focal point in their home, but don't have the budget or time to build a wood or gas fireplace. They're an excellent choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. And, because they do not produce soot or ash, there's no problems with maintenance also.
Designs and styles
There are a number of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have an old-fashioned wood-burning style and others have modern and sleek designs. Regardless of the style they all offer the same benefits: authentic flame ambience with no fumes or harmful gases.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and may require specialized mounting gear. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.
The fire itself comes from a burner pan located on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then lit with a long lighter. It takes around 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.
Certain fireplaces with ethanol have adjustable temperature settings. This lets you customize the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which is beneficial if you wish to provide more warmth than just ambience.
Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require a chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for homes that are new or older homes that do not have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce toxic gases or ash that could pose a risk for those suffering from respiratory issues.
Bioethanol fire fireplaces are simple to install in your home. While the exact time to install will depend on the model you choose, most are installed in a short time. You can even choose a portable fireplace that you can carry with you in the event of a relocate, which makes it a great option to use as a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a crucial aspect for many buyers and is something to consider when choosing an upgrade to your fireplace.
No Flu
The big advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need a flue to operate. There is no danger of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or a blockage.
A bio ethanol fireplace does not produce many particles that can harm the air, which is good news for those suffering from allergies or asthma. The fire does not produce smoke, so it does not create a bad smell in the room.
Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bioethanol fires don't lose much heat through the chimney, so it produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture close to the flame without having to worry about it catching on fire and causing danger.
If you choose to install a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace There are different designs you can choose from. You can pick one that is wall-mounted for a sleek, modern look or a recessed unit that will blend into the design of your space.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a second option to consider. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic one will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.
When you're done using your bioethanol fireplace it is important to let the flames completely go out and wait until the fireplace has cooled before refueling. If you don't do this, the ethanol could evaporate and you'll need to start over.
Most manufacturers suggest that you leave at least 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have enough time to properly put out the flames and ensure that all flammable materials are away from the flame. In addition, it's best to store any leftover fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from occurring.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled by a slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can change the speed at which fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.
When the fuel is burned, it releases some soot, but this is easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and ensuring it is kept away from any flammable items or supplies.
Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and you don't have to worry about chimneys or building codes. This provides you with a large amount of flexibility in the design of your home, and also where you can take pleasure in the warmth and beauty of your new fireplace. You can even opt to have a free-standing model that can be moved from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated by 180 degrees so you can focus the heat and flame into the desired area of your room. You can even put an electronic remote control on some designs to take full control from the comfortable sofa.
Many wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow them to be attached to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. This allows you to install the fireplace wherever you like it and still be able to turn it off or on and alter the flame's height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.
When you are not using your ethanol flame ensure that it is turned off and a safe distance away from any flammable materials or equipment. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner has reached the temperature of room temperature. Be careful when handling it because it is extremely hot.
