Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are ideal for bringing a cozy feel to any space without the expense of structural work or gas supply. They are also the most secure kind of fire that is available.
If you use only bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for your fire and you follow all safety instructions, then your fireplace should perform safely.
Ease of installation
Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick option for homeowners looking to make their living space more attractive or add a focal piece 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 simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you need to do is make sure that your ceiling or wall is sturdy and follow the directions for the model you pick.
If you choose a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace Most come with the necessary hardware to allow them to be hung like a flat-screen TV, or recessed into the wall. It takes an experienced professional approximately one hour to mount the brackets, extensions and find the studs.
You can also pick between manual and automated bio ethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, ensuring it will burn longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. A manual burner operates in the same way as a traditional fireplace, however you'll need to use matches or a lighter to light the flames.
It's important to remember that when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner properly, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.
The Ethanol fire is a fantastic choice for those who want an impressive feature to bring to their home, but don't have the time or budget to install a gas or wood fireplace. They are perfect for new construction and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate soot or ash, so there's no need for maintenance.
Styles and designs
Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Some are more traditional in their wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to look modern and sleek. Each type has the same benefits, regardless of the style and ambiance without toxic fumes or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the room to suit your needs. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and require special mounting equipment. They also must meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.
The fire is made through a burner pan, which is located at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan, and the fire is ignited using a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full flame potential. Once the fire is lit, you can relax and enjoy the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.
Some ethanol fireplaces even have adjustable temperature settings. This lets you adjust the amount of heat your fireplace produces.
Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimneys or flues. This makes them an excellent option for homes that are new or older ones that don't have traditional chimney breasts or fireplaces. In addition, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not produce any toxic gases or ash that could pose a risk for those with respiratory issues.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. The exact time to install them will depend on the type of fireplace you choose. However, the majority of models can be installed quickly. You can choose an outdoor freestanding fireplace that can be carried with you when you move. This is a great option for temporary living arrangements. The ease of installation is a key aspect for many buyers and is something that should not be ignored when looking for an upgrade to your fireplace.
No flue
The main advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need an exhaust pipe to run. There is no chance of a chimney fire caused by tar buildup or a blockage.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't release many particles, which could harm the air. This is great for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there is no smoke that is produced by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause a bad smell in the room.
Unlike a wood fireplaces-burning fireplace, bio ethanol fires don't lose heat up the chimney, so it produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This lets you place your furniture in close proximity to the fire without worrying about it burning which could be hazardous.
There are a variety of designs available for a bio-ethanol freestanding fireplace. You can opt for a sleek and modern look with a wall-mounted unit, or you can get an recessed model that will blend in with the design of your space.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a different option to consider. A manual burner requires you to light the fuel directly from the reservoir. An automatic burner will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.
It is important that you allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol may evaporate and you will have to start from scratch.
The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your electric fire. This gives you enough time to safely eliminate the flames and remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any spare ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets to prevent any accidents from happening.
Ease of maintenance
The bio ethanol fuel is put into the burner and then ignited. As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled by a slider (not all designs feature this). By altering the amount of oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can alter the speed at which the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns it releases a small amount of soot, which can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the burner filled with the correct fuel and ensure that it is kept away from any flammable materials or objects.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to set up 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 the design of your home and also where you can experience the warmth and charm of your new fireplace. You can even opt to have a free-standing model that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated 180 degrees to move the flame and heat into the desired area of your home. You can also mount a remote control onto some of the models to control the entire thing from the couch.
Many wall-mounted bioethanol fire fireplaces come with brackets to enable them to be fixed to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. Installing the fireplace wherever you'd like is possible however, you can still use the remote control to turn off the fireplace or adjust the flame's height and set temperature.
If you're not using your ethanol fire, make sure that it is shut off and is away from any flammable substances or supplies. Don't try to add fuel to the burner until it's cooled to room temperature. Also, be careful when handling the burner as it is extremely hot.
