Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can give warmth to any space, without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are the safest fire type available.
If you use only bio-ethanol fuel specifically formulated for your fire, and follow all safety instructions the fireplace will be operating safely.
Installation is simple
Ethanol fires are a quick and easy option for homeowners looking to transform their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. There is no need for a chimney and they don’t create dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.
If you decide to go with the complete fire suite - such as Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black from PS569 or an independent model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and doesn't require any expert assistance. You only need to make sure that your ceiling or wall is strong and follow the instructions of the model you select.
The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted have the equipment needed to mount them like a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It will take an experienced professional approximately one hour to install the brackets, extensions, and find the studs.
You can also choose between automatic and manual bio ethanol burning devices. The automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so it can burn for longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. A manual burner operates similarly to a traditional fireplace, however you'll require matches or a lighter to light the flames.
When selecting a burner for your bio ethanol fireplace, it's important to keep in mind that the burner needs to be covered with non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could become too hot and damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are a great alternative for those who want to create a dramatic feature in their home but don't have the funds or time to install gas or wood fireplaces. They are great for new or renovated homes in which chimney breasts were removed. Since they don't produce soot or ash, there's no maintenance issues to worry about or worry about.
Styles and designs
Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Some have a more traditional fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. Each type offers the same advantages, regardless of design and ambiance without toxic gases or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and require special mounting gear. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.
The fire is started by a burner pan that is located in the middle of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is lit with a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is lit, you can sit back and relax in the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.
Certain ethanol fire places have heat settings that can be altered. This lets you alter the amount of heat that your fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want it to create more warmth rather than just ambiance.
Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for older homes or newer homes without chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gasses or ash, which are dangerous to people who suffer from respiratory issues.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. While the exact time to install will depend on the model you choose however, the majority of them can be installed relatively quickly. You can even choose a freestanding portable fireplace which you can take with you when you decide to relocate, which makes it a good option for a temporary living arrangement. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when purchasing a fireplace.
No Flu
The most significant benefit of bioethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they don't require a chimney for operation. In the end, there's no chance of chimney fires that can be caused by a build-up of tar or a blockage in the flue.
A bio ethanol fireplace also doesn't produce a lot of particulates that can damage the air, which is great news for people who suffer from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there's no smoke produced by the fireplace and, therefore, it doesn't cause a bad smell in the room.
Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bioethanol fires don't lose heat up the chimney, and therefore produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This means you can keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about catching alight which could be dangerous for any valuables.
If you choose to install a freestanding bioethanol fireplace there are different designs you can choose from. You can choose modern and sleek design by installing it on the wall or opt for an recessed model that will blend into the style of your room.
Another thing to consider is whether you want an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automatic one will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.
It is essential to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the burner cools down before refilling. If you don't do this, the ethanol could evaporate and you will have to start again.
Most manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to extinguish the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any spare ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of pets and children, to avoid any accidents from occurring.
Ease of maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. As the fuel burns, it produces the appearance of a flame and the heat can be controlled by the slider (not all designs have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is pumped into the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel is burned and the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns it produces some soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to ensure that the fireplace is filled with the correct fuel and making sure it's a safe distance away from any fire-prone objects or other equipment.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to go source install and you don't have to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This provides you with a large amount of flexibility when it comes to the design of your home, and also where you can enjoy the warmth and ambiance of your new fireplace. You can even opt for an open-air model that is portable.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be fitted into your wall easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees so you can focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your living space. Certain models come with remote controls that allow you to control the fireplace from your couch.
Many wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that allow them to be attached to an unfinished ceiling or a sloped one. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you want it, and be in a position to turn the flame off or on, adjust the flame height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.
When you're not using your ethanol fireplace, be sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable objects or materials. Don't try to pour additional fuel inside the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature and always be cautious when handling the fire as it is extremely hot.
