Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can provide warmth to any room, without the need for costly construction work or gas supply. They are the safest fire type available.
As long as you only make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fire and follow the safety guidelines the fireplace will be extremely safe to use.
Easy installation
Ethanol fires are a quick and simple solution for homeowners who want to transform their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. You don't require chimneys and they don't produce dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.
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, from PS569 or a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191) Installation is simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. You only need to make sure that the ceiling or wall is strong and follow the directions of the model you select.
The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall fires-mounted include the necessary hardware to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It will take an experienced professional around an hour to mount the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.
You can also choose between manual and automated bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner will keep the fuel away from the flames, ensuring it can burn for longer without running out or overheating. Manual burners work similarly to a traditional fireplace, but you'll need matches or a lighter to light the flames.
When choosing a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it is important to remember that the burner needs to be covered with non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home but don't have the money or time to set up gas or wood fireplace fireplaces. They're a perfect option for new homes or renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. And, because they do not produce soot or ash, there aren't any issues with maintenance, either.
Styles and designs
There are many different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces come in. Some are more traditional in their fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to be sleek and modern. Every type of fireplace has the same benefits, regardless of the style: a real flame ambience without toxic fumes or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a room to meet your needs. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and may require specialized mounting gear. They must also meet certain clearance distances from flammable materials.
The fire itself is created by a burner pan that is located on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is lit using an extended lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is lit you can relax and enjoy the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.
Certain fireplaces with ethanol come with adjustable heat settings. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which can be beneficial if you wish to provide more warmth than just ambiance.
Another benefit of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for older homes or newer homes without chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place does not generate toxic gases or ash that could pose a risk for people with respiratory problems.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. The exact time to install them will depend on the model you select. However, most models can be installed quickly. You can even choose a portable fireplace that you can carry with you if you ever move, making it an ideal choice for a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a crucial factor for many consumers, and it is something that should not be ignored when choosing a new fireplace stove.
No flue
The major advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fireplace fires is that they don't need a flue in order to function. As a result, there is no risk of chimney fires that could be caused by a build-up of tar or an obstruction in the flue.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particles, which could cause harm to the air. This is a great thing for people with asthma or allergies. The fire doesn't produce smoke, which means it does not create a bad smell in the room.
As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat to the chimney, and therefore produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This allows you to place your furniture in close proximity to the fire without worrying about it catching on fire, which could be dangerous.
There are many designs to choose from for a bio ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can go for modern fireplace and sleek design with a wall-mounted model, or you can get a recessed version that will fit in with the style of your space.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a different thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will light your fire automatically when the tank is empty.
After you've used your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is essential to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the fireplace has cooled before refueling. Otherwise, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start over.
Most manufacturers suggest that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire, to ensure you have enough time to safely remove the flames, and make sure that all flammable substances are removed from the fire. To avoid accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel out of reach of pets and children.
Maintenance is easy
The bioethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled by a slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel burns and how high the flame burns.
The soot created by the fuel burning can be easily removed with the help of a soft clean cloth. The only other maintenance required is to ensure that the fireplace is properly fueled and ensuring it is not too far from any flammable objects or equipment.
Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can set them virtually anywhere without worrying about chimney regulations or building regulations. This allows you to be very flexible in designing your home, and also where you would like to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt for a freestanding fireplace that can be moved.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees to focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your living space. You can even put an electronic remote control on some of the models to control the entire thing from the comfort of your sofa.
Many of the bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets to allow them to be attached to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it and still be capable of turning it on or off and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature using the remote control.
When you're not using your ethanol fireplace, be sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable items or materials. Do not pour any fuel into the burner until the burner has reached room temperature. Be cautious when handling it because it is very hot.
