Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are excellent for bringing a cozy feel to any room without the need for costly structure work or gas supply. They are the safest kind of fire available.
If you are using only bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for the fire, and follow all safety instructions then your fireplace will be operating in a safe manner.
Easy installation
Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick option for homeowners looking to revamp their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. You don't need chimneys and they don't emit dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your walls or ceilings.
It doesn't matter if you choose a full fire suite - such as Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black from PS569 or a freestanding model that is able to be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is easy and requires no specialist help. All you have to do is ensure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy enough and follow the instructions for your specific model.
The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are
wall fireplace-mounted come with the hardware necessary to mount them like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. You'll need to locate the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions however it will not take more than one hour for professionals to do it.
You can also select between manual and automated bioethanol burning devices. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames, so that it can burn for longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. Manual burners work similar to fireplaces, but you will need matches or lighters to ignite 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 gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover the burner, the flame could get too hot and cause damage to the
fireplace.
Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those looking to create a striking feature in their home but don't have the money or time to install a wood or gas fireplace. They're the perfect option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create soot or ash, so there's no need for maintenance.
Designs and styles
Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport an old-fashioned wood-burning style, while others feature modern and sleek designs. Each type has the same benefits, regardless of the style and ambiance free of harmful gases or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.
The fire is made by a burner pan located in the middle of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and then the fire is then lit with an extended lighter. The process takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its maximum flame potential. Once the flames are set and the fire is ablaze, you can relax, unwind and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Certain ethanol fire places have heat settings that can be adjusted. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace generates.
Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require 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 harmful to those suffering from respiratory ailments.
Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install in your home. While the exact installation time will depend on the model you select however, the majority of them can be installed relatively quickly. You can also opt for a freestanding portable fireplace that you can take with you if you ever relocate, which makes it a great option to use as a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is an important factor for many consumers, and it is something to consider when choosing 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 a flue in order to function. This means that there is no chance of chimney fires that can result from a build-up of tar or obstructions in the flue.
A bio-
ethanol fireplace doesn't produce many particles, which could cause harm to the air. This is great for people suffering from asthma or allergies. The fire does not produce smoke, so it won't cause bad odor in the room.
Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bioethanol fires don't lose much heat through the chimney, and therefore can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This lets you keep your furniture close to the flame without worrying about it getting caught on fire and causing danger.
There are several designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose an installation on the wall for an elegant, modern appearance or a recessed unit that will blend into the style of your home.
Another thing to consider is whether you'd prefer a manual or an automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.
When you're done using your bio-
ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames burn out completely and wait until the fire has cooled before refueling. Otherwise the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start again.
Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to extinguish the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any leftover ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from occurring.
Ease of maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled using the slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can change the speed at which fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.
The soot created by the fuel burning can be easily removed with an easy, clean cloth. The only other requirement is to ensure that the burner is topped up with the right fuel and to ensure it's kept away from items or materials that are flammable.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to set up and you don't need to worry about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to be very flexible in the design of your home and the location you wish to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose an open-air model that can be moved.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the flame and heat into the desired area of your home. Some models come with a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
Many wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow them to be attached to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you like is possible, however, you can still make use of the remote control to turn it off, adjust flame height and adjust the temperature.
If you're not using your ethanol flame ensure that it is turned off and a safe distance away from any flammable substances or equipment. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner has reached temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it's extremely hot.
