Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can give an inviting atmosphere to any room, without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are the most secure kind of fire available.
If you only use bio-ethanol fuel that is specifically designed for the fire and adhere to all safety guidelines then your fireplace will operate in a safe manner.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fireplaces are an easy and quick solution for homeowners who want to transform their living area or add a focal piece to their home decor. They don't require a flue and they don't release dangerous smoke which means you don't need to worry about the build-up of soot on your ceilings or walls.
If you decide to go with a full fire suite - for example, 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 easy and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you need to do is ensure that the wall or ceiling is sturdy enough and follow the directions for the model you have chosen.
Most ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted include the hardware necessary to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. You'll need to find the studs and fit the brackets and extensions however it will not take more than one hour for professionals to do it.
You can also pick between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning devices. The automated burner keeps the fuel from the flames so it can burn longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. Manual burners function the same as fireplaces, with the exception that you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.
It's important to remember when choosing a bio ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are an excellent option for people who want to create a striking feature in their home but don't have the budget or time to build a wood or gas fireplace. They're a perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. And, because they do not generate soot or ash, there are no issues with maintenance also.
Styles and designs
There are a number of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces come in. Some have a more traditional fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to look modern and sleek. Each type offers the same advantages, regardless of style: a real flame ambience without toxic gasses or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room in any direction you like. Wall-mounted models are fixed to the walls and may require specialized mounting gear. They also must meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.
The fire is created through a burner pan, which is located in the middle of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan, and the fire is lit using an extended lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the flames are set and the fire is ablaze, you can relax, sit back and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.
Some ethanol fire places offer temperature settings that can be altered. This allows you to customize the amount of heat that your fireplace produces, which can be beneficial if you wish to give you more warmth than simply ambience.
Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for older homes as well as newer homes without chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not generate gas or ash, which can be dangerous for those suffering from respiratory issues.
Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install in your home. The exact installation time will depend on the type of fireplace you select. However, most models can be set up fairly quickly. You can also choose an open-air fireplace that you can carry with you in the event of a relocate, making it a great option for a temporary home. The ease of installation is a key aspect for many buyers, and it is something that should not be overlooked when choosing the perfect fireplace.
No flu
The biggest advantage of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they do not require a chimney in order to function. 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 affect the air. This is great for those suffering from asthma or allergies. Another benefit is that there's no smoke produced by the fireplace and therefore it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.
In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, Bioethanol Fire fires don't lose much heat up the chimney, so it produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This lets you keep your furniture close to the flame without worrying about it catching on fire, which could be dangerous.
If you decide to go with a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace, there are a few different designs you can choose from. You can choose a sleek and modern look by installing it on the wall or choose an recessed model that will blend in with the design of your space.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a second option to consider. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly out of the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.
When you've finished using your bioethanol fireplace it is important to let the flames completely go out and wait until the fireplace has cooled before refueling. If you don't do this, the ethanol may evaporate and you'll need to start from scratch.
Most manufacturers recommend that you allow at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have enough time to remove the flames and ensure that all flammable materials are away from the fire. To avoid any accidents, store any spare ethanol fuel away from pets and children.
Maintenance is easy
Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled by an adjustable slider. (Not all models have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is fed to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel burns, and how high the flame burns.
The soot produced from the combustion of fuel can be easily cleaned with a a soft clean cloth. The only other maintenance is to keep the fireplace filled with the correct fuel and ensure that it's not in contact with items or materials that are flammable.
Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install, and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a lot of flexibility in the design of your home and the location you wish to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can also opt to have a freestanding model that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall with ease, and some models can be turned 180 degrees to focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your room. You can even mount a remote control onto some of the models to control the entire thing from the comfort of your sofa.
A majority of wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow them to be attached to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you want is possible, but you can still utilize the remote control to shut it off, adjust flame height and set the temperature.
When you are not using your ethanol flame ensure that it is shut off and kept away from any flammable materials or other equipment. Also, don't pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Always be careful when handling the burner as it is very hot.
