Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can provide warmth to any room without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the most secure kind of fire you can find.
As long as you only utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically formulated for your fireplace and adhere to the safety instructions the fireplace will be safe to operate.
Installation is simple
Ethanol fires are a simple and simple solution for homeowners who wish to make their living spaces more attractive or make a focal point of their home decor. There is no need for chimneys and they won't produce dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.
Whether you opt for an entire 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 easy and requires no specialist help. All you need to do is make sure that your ceiling or wall is strong and follow the directions for the model you select.
Most fireplaces made of ethanol that are wall-mounted have the necessary hardware to install them as a flat screen TV or recess into the wall. It takes a professional about an hour to install the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.
You can also pick between manual and automatic bio ethanol burning equipment. The automatic burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so it will burn for longer without the risk of overheating or running out. Manual burners function similar to a fireplace, except that you'll need matches or lighters to light the flames.
When selecting a burner for your bio-ethanol fireplace it's worth remembering that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible material to make sure 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.
The Ethanol fireplace is a wonderful choice for those who want an impressive feature to enhance their home but don't have the money or time to set up a gas or wood fireplace. They're a perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they do not produce soot or ash, there aren't any problems with maintenance also.
Designs and styles
There are many different styles and designs that bio ethanol fireplaces are available in. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have an old-fashioned wood-burning style and others sport a sleek and modern design. No matter what style the fireplaces all have the same benefits: authentic flame ambience with no gas or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models can be moved around a space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and may require special mounting gear. They also have to meet certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.
The fire itself is created by the burner pan, which is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan, and the fire is then lit with a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full flame potential. Once the flames are established, it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy the warm atmosphere of your home.
Certain fireplaces with ethanol have adjustable temperature settings. This allows you to customize the amount of heat that your fireplace produces, which can be useful if you want it to provide more warmth than simply ambience.
Another benefit of ethanol fires is that there is no need for chimneys or flues. This makes them a great alternative for older homes or newer ones that don't have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. Bio-ethanol fires do not release harmful gases or ash, which are dangerous to people who suffer from respiratory issues.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install in your home. The time required to install will depend on the model that you choose. However, the majority of models can be installed fairly quickly. You can also opt for an open-air fireplace that you can take with you if you ever move, making it an ideal option for a temporary home. It is crucial to think about the ease of installation when you purchase the fireplace.
No Flu
The main benefit of bio ethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they don't 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 create many particles, which could harm the air. This is a great thing for people with asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there's no smoke generated by the fire which means it doesn't produce an unpleasant smell in the room.
Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, bio ethanol fires don't lose heat through the chimney, so it produces a huge amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture near the fire without worrying about catching fire which could be dangerous for your valuables.
If you decide to go with a freestanding bioethanol fireplace there are different designs to choose from. You can go for modern and sleek design with a wall-mounted model, or you can get one that is recessed to blend into the style of your room.
A manual or automatic burner is a second aspect to consider. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel from the reservoir. An automatic burner will light your fire automatically when the tank is empty.
It is crucial to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the flame cools before refilling. In the event that you don't the ethanol will vaporize and you'll need to start all over again.
Most manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to safely extinguish the flames, and then remove any flammable material from the fire. In addition, it's best to store any remaining fuel containing ethanol away from the reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from occurring.
Ease of maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates a flame and heat that can be controlled by the slider (not all designs have this feature). By changing the amount of oxygen supplied to the fire, you can adjust how quickly the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.
When the fuel is burned, it releases a small amount of soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and ensure that it's not in contact with dangerous materials or objects.
Another advantage of bio ethanol fires is that you can install them almost anywhere, without needing to worry about building regulations or chimneys. This gives you great flexibility in the design of your home and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt for a freestanding model that is portable.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to set up and some models allow you to rotate the unit 180 degrees, allowing you direct the heat and flame towards the desired location of the room. You can even put a remote control onto some models to control the entire thing from the comfortable sofa.
Many bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets that allow them to be affixed to an unfinished ceiling or a an inclined one. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you like it, and be in a position to turn the flame off or on and adjust the flame's height, and set the temperature using the remote control.
If you're not using your ethanol flame ensure that it is turned off and kept away from any flammable substances or other equipment. Also, don't attempt to add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature. Also, be cautious when handling the burner as it is extremely hot.
