Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can give a cozy feeling to any room without the need for expensive construction work or gas supply. They are the safest kind of fire available.
If you use only bio-ethanol fuel specifically designed for your fireplace and adhere to all safety rules the fireplace will operate in a safe manner.
Easy installation
Ethanol fireplaces are a straightforward and quick solution for homeowners looking to transform their living area or add a focal piece to their home decor. There is no need for chimneys and they don't produce dangerous smoke. Smoke won't linger on your ceilings or walls.
It doesn't matter if you choose the complete 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 easy and does not require any assistance from a specialist. It is all you have to do is sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and adhere to the instructions of the model you select.
Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted include the necessary hardware to mount them either 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 should not take more than an hour for professionals to do it.
There is also the option of automatic or manual bio ethanol burners. An automatic burner will keep the fuel away from the flames, which means it can burn for longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. Manual burners operate the same as a fireplace, except that you'll require matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner needs to be covered with non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could become too hot and damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fireplaces are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home, but don't have the funds or time to install a wood or gas fireplace. They're the perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't create ash or soot, so there's no need for maintenance.
Styles and designs
Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning look, whereas others are designed to look sleek and modern. Whatever the design, each type offers the same benefits: authentic flame ambience without fumes or harmful gases.
Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models, on contrary, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also must meet certain distances between flammable substances and the unit.
The fire itself originates from the burner pan, which is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured in this pan and the fire is then 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 relax and enjoy your home's warm atmosphere.
Some ethanol fire places provide heating settings that can be altered. This allows you to adjust the amount of heat the fireplace produces.
Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they do not require any chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for homes that are new or older ones that don't have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place doesn't produce ash or harmful gases which could be harmful for those suffering from respiratory issues.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install inside your home. While the exact time to install depends on the model you select, most can be installed fairly quickly. You can even choose a portable fireplace that you can carry with you in the event of a relocate, which makes it a good choice for a temporary home. The ease of installation is a crucial factor for many consumers and it's something to consider when shopping for an upgrade to your fireplace.
No flue
The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they do not require a chimney to function. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.
A bio ethanol fireplace also does not produce many particles that could harm the air, which is great news for those who suffer from asthma or allergies. The fire does not produce smoke, so it doesn't create a bad odor in the room.
Bioethanol fireplaces generate an enormous amount of heat compared to wood-burning fires. This means you can keep your furniture close to the flame without worrying about catching alight that could be hazardous for your valuables.
There are a variety of designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted unit or opt for an recessed model that will blend into the style of your room.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a different thing to think about. A manual burner requires that you ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir. An automatic burner will light your fire automatically once the tank is empty.
When you're done using your bio ethanol fireplace, it is essential to let the flames completely go out and to wait until the fireplace has cooled before refueling. Otherwise the ethanol will vaporize and you'll need to start all over again.
Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will give you time to safely eliminate the flames and then remove any flammable material from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any spare fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from occurring.
Ease of 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 with a slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can change the speed at which the fuel burns and the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns it releases tiny amounts of soot. However, this is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement is to keep the burner full of the correct fuel and ensure that it's not in contact with items or materials that are flammable.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install and you don't need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to enjoy a vast amount of flexibility when it comes to designing your home and where you can take pleasure in the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can also here choose an open-air model that is portable.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees to direct the flame and heat to the desired space of your living space. Some models include a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
For maximum flexibility, a majority of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that let you attach them to the ceiling in a flat or sloping manner. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it, and be capable of turning it off or on and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature with the remote control.
When you're not using the fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Don't pour any more 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 as it is extremely hot.
