Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are great for bringing a cozy feel to any room without the need for expensive structure work or gas supply. They are also the most secure type of fire available.
If you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically formulated for your fireplace and adhere to the safety guidelines your fireplace will be safe to operate.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fires are a quick and simple solution for homeowners who want to transform their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. They don't require a flue and they don't release dangerous smoke, so you don't have to worry about the build up of soot on your ceilings or walls.
If you decide to go with 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 simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you have to do is make sure that the ceiling or wall is sturdy enough and follow the directions for the model you have chosen.
If you opt for an ethanol fireplace mounted on the wall Most come with the hardware that allows them to be mounted as a flat-screen television or placed in the wall. It takes a professional about an hour to install the brackets, extensions, and locate the studs.
There is also the option of automatic or manual bio ethanol burners. A burner that is automated will keep the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, which means it can burn for longer without risk of running out or overheating. Manual burners work in the same way as a traditional fireplace, however you'll require matches or lighters to light the flames.
When you choose a burner to use in your bio ethanol fireplace, it is important to remember that the burner needs to be covered by non-combustible materials to make sure that nothing comes in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the flame could get too hot and cause damage to the fireplace.
The Ethanol fire is a fantastic alternative for those looking to have an impressive feature to enhance their home but don't have the time or budget to install a gas or wood fireplace. They're an excellent choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they don't produce soot or ash, there are no problems with maintenance or worry about.
Designs and styles
Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Some bio ethanol fireplaces have a traditional wood-burning look, while others feature modern and sleek designs. Regardless of the style they all offer the same benefits: real flame ambience without fumes or harmful gases.
Ethanol fireplaces can be freestanding or wall mounted. Freestanding models can be moved around the space to meet your requirements. Wall-mounted models are anchored to the walls and require special mounting gear. They also have to meet certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.
The fire is started by a burner pan that is located at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan and the fire is then lit with a long lighter. It takes around 15 minutes for the fire to reach its full potential for flame. Once the fire is lit you can relax and enjoy the warm and cozy atmosphere of your home.
Certain fireplaces with ethanol come with adjustable heating settings. This lets you adjust the amount of heat that the fireplace produces.
A further benefit of ethanol fires is that it is no need for a chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes as well as modern homes that do not have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Furthermore, a bio-ethanol fire place does not produce any gas or ash, which can be dangerous for those with respiratory issues.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. The exact installation time will depend on the model you select. However, most models can be set up fairly quickly. You can also opt for a freestanding portable fireplace which you can take with you in the event of a relocate, making it a great choice for a temporary living arrangement. It is essential to consider the ease of installation when you purchase a fireplace.
No flue
The most significant benefit of bio ethanol over traditional natural gas or wood fires is that they don't require a chimney to function. There is no risk of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or a blockage.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create many particles, which could affect the air. This is beneficial for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another benefit is that there's no smoke that is produced by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause an unpleasant smell in the room.
In contrast to a fireplace that burns wood, bioethanol fires don't lose heat through the chimney, so it can generate a tremendous amount of heat for its size. This lets you place your furniture in close proximity to the fire without worrying about it catching on fire, which could be dangerous.
There are a variety of designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can pick one that is wall-mounted for an elegant, modern appearance or a recessed model that blends into the style of your home.
Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires that you ignite the fuel from the reservoir. A burner that is automated will automatically light the fire once the tank is empty.
When you're done using your bioethanol fireplace it is important to let the flames completely burn out and wait until the fire is cool before refilling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll need to start again.
The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This will allow you enough time to extinguish the flames, and remove any flammable materials from the fire. Additionally, it is recommended to store any remaining fuel with ethanol out of reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from happening.
Easy maintenance
The bioethanol fuel is added to the burner and then ignited. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled using an adjustable slider. (Not all designs come with this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can change how quickly the fuel burns, and how high the flame burns.
As the fuel burns, it produces a small amount of soot. However, this can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other maintenance is to ensure that the burner is filled with the correct fuel and to ensure it's not in contact with flammable materials or objects.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to set up and you don't need to worry about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a lot of flexibility in designing your home, and also where you would like to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can also choose a freestanding fireplace that is portable.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces can be simple to install and on the wall fireplace some models let you rotate the unit 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the flame and heat towards the desired location of the room. Some models come with a remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
Many of the wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets to allow them to be attached to a flat ceiling or sloped one. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you want it, and be able to turn the flame off or on and alter the flame's height, and adjust the temperature with the remote control.
If you're not using your ethanol flame ensure that it is turned off and is away from any flammable materials or other equipment. Don't pour any more fuel into the burner until it is at temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be cautious when handling it since it is extremely hot.
