Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can bring a cozy feeling to any room, without the need for expensive construction work or gas supply. They are the safest fireplace type that is available.
If you use only bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for your fireplace, and adhere to all safety guidelines then your fireplace will perform in a safe manner.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fires are a quick and simple solution for homeowners looking to change the look of their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. You don't need a chimney and they don’t emit dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.
It doesn't matter if you choose an entire fire suite - for example, Mano Mano's Adam Solus fireplace suite (head to the thebookmarkking.com site) in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 - or a freestanding 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. All you have to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is sturdy enough and follow the instructions for your specific model.
The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the hardware necessary to install them as a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It will take a professional about an hour to install the brackets, extensions, and find the studs.
You can also select between manual and automated bio ethanol burning equipment. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners work similarly to a traditional fireplace, however you'll need to use matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
It's important to remember that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.
The Ethanol fire is a fantastic alternative for those looking to have an eye-catching feature to add to their home, but don't have the time or budget to build an electric fires or gas fireplace. They are great for renovations and new homes where chimney breasts were removed. They don't generate soot or ash, so there are no maintenance concerns.
Designs and styles
There are many different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces are available in. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport a traditional wood-burning look, while others feature modern and sleek design. Every type of fireplace comes with the same advantages regardless of design that is a genuine flame atmosphere without harmful fumes or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and may require special mounting gear. They also must meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.
The fire itself comes from a burner pan situated on the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is lit using a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full flame potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Some ethanol fire places even have temperature settings that can be adjusted. This allows you to customize the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which can be beneficial if you wish to create more warmth rather than simply ambience.
A further benefit of ethanol 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 breasts or traditional fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fire does not release harmful gasses or ash, which can be harmful to those with respiratory conditions.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. 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 opt for an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be taken with you if ever you move. This is a great option for living arrangements that are temporary. It is important to consider the ease of installation when you purchase a fireplace.
No Flu
The main benefit of bioethanol over traditional wood fireplace or natural gas fires is that they do not require a chimney for operation. In the end, there is no risk of chimney fires that could result from the accumulation of tar or a blockage in the flue.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release many particles, which could affect the air. This is beneficial for people with asthma or allergies. The fireplace doesn't release smoke, which means it won't cause unpleasant odor in the room.
Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, a bio ethanol fire doesn't lose a lot of heat through the chimney, which means it produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This allows you to keep your furniture close to the fire without having to worry about it catching on fire and causing danger.
There are a variety of designs available for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can pick a wall-mounted model for modern, sleek design or a recessed model that will blend into the design of your space.
Another thing to think about is whether you want either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light the fire once the tank is empty.
When you're done using your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely burn out and to wait until the burner is cool before refilling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start all over again.
The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to safely remove the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any spare ethanol fuel away from the reach of pets and children.
Easy maintenance
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 with a slider. (Not all models have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is supplied to the fire you can alter how fast the fuel burns, and how high the flame burns.
The soot produced by the fuel burning can be easily cleaned with a a soft clean cloth. The only other requirement is to ensure that the burner is full of the correct fuel and to ensure it is kept away from any dangerous materials or objects.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to set up, and you don't have to worry about chimneys or building codes. This gives you great flexibility in designing your home, and where you want to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt to have a freestanding model that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall fireplace easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees to focus the heat and flame to the desired location of your living space. 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 bio ethanol fireplaces have brackets that let you attach them to a flat or sloping ceiling. Installing the fireplace anywhere you like is possible, however, you can still make use of the remote control to shut it off and adjust the flame's height as well as set temperature.
If you're not using your ethanol fire, make sure that it is 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 down to room temperature. Always be careful when handling the burner as it will be very hot.
