Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can bring a cozy feeling to any space, without the need for expensive construction work or gas supply. They are the most secure kind of fire available.
If you make use of bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically formulated for your fire and you follow the safety guidelines, your fireplace should be safe to operate.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fireplaces are a simple and quick solution for homeowners who want to make their living space more attractive or add a focal point to their home decor. They do not require a flue, and they don't release dangerous smoke, so you don't have to be concerned about the accumulation of soot on your walls or ceilings.
It doesn't matter if you choose an entire fire suite - such as Mano Mano's Adam Solus fireplace suite (parket-lux.ru`s statement on its official blog) 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 requires no specialist help. All you have to do is make sure that the wall or ceiling is strong enough and follow the directions for your specific model.
If you choose an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall, most are supplied with the hardware that allows them to be hung as a flat-screen television or recessed into the wall. You'll have to locate the studs, and then install the brackets and extensions, but it will not take more than one hour for an expert to do this.
You can also pick between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning devices. The automatic burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames so it can burn longer without the danger of overheating or running out. Manual burners operate exactly like a fireplace, except that you'll need matches or lighters in order to ignite the flames.
When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is important to remember that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible materials to ensure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those looking to create a dramatic feature in their home but don't have the budget or time to set up a wood or gas fireplace. They are great for renovations and new homes in which chimney breasts were removed. They don't create soot or ash, which means there are no maintenance concerns.
Designs and styles
There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces can be found in. Some are more traditional in their wood fireplace-burning look, whereas others are designed to look sleek and modern. Whatever the design they all offer the same benefits: authentic flame ambience without fumes or harmful gases.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models on the contrary, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They must also meet certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.
The fire itself comes from the burner pan, which is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan, and the fire is lit using a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the flames are set then it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.
Some ethanol marble fireplaces even have adjustable heating settings. 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 an excellent option for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fireplace does not emit harmful gases or ash that can be dangerous for people suffering from respiratory ailments.
Installing bio ethanol fireplaces in your home is also simple. The time required to install will depend on the type of fireplace you choose. However, the majority of models can be set up fairly quickly. You can pick a portable freestanding fireplace that can be transported with you if ever you move. This is a great option for temporary living arrangements. The ease of installation is a crucial aspect for many buyers, and it is something that should not be overlooked when shopping for the perfect fireplace.
No Flu
The major advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't need a flue to operate. In the end, there is no risk of chimney fires that can be caused by the build-up of tar, or a blockage in the flue.
A bio ethanol fireplace does not produce many particles that can harm the air, which is good news for people who suffer from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there is no smoke generated by the fire which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.
As opposed to a wood-burning fireplace bio ethanol fires don't lose much heat up the chimney, so it produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the fire without having to worry about catching a flame that could be hazardous for any valuables.
If you decide to go with a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace, there are a few options to pick from. You can opt for a sleek and modern look by installing it on the wall or choose one that is recessed to blend into the style of your space.
Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer a manual or an automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic one will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.
After you've used your bio-ethanol fireplace, it's important to let the flames completely burn out and to wait until the fireplace has cooled before refueling. If you don't do this, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll need to start over.
The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to safely extinguish the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the electric fire. In addition, it's best to store any remaining fuel with ethanol out of reach of pets and children to prevent any accidents from occurring.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be controlled with a slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can alter how quickly the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.
When the fuel is burned, it creates a small amount of soot. However, this is easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement for maintenance is to ensure that the burner is properly fueled and making sure it is kept away from any flammable items or equipment.
Another benefit of bioethanol fires is that you can put them almost anywhere without needing to worry about building regulations or chimneys. This allows you to be very flexible in designing your home, and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding fireplace that can be moved.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated 180 degrees so you can focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your living space. Certain models come with remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
For maximum versatility, many of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces have brackets that allow you to attach them to a flat or sloping ceiling. Installing the fireplace wherever you want is possible, but you can still utilize the remote control to shut it off and adjust the flame's height as well as adjust the temperature.
When you're not using the fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it away from any flammable items or materials. Also, don't add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Always be careful when handling the burner as it is extremely hot.
