Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces can give warmth to any room without the need for costly construction or gas supply. They are also the safest type of fire available.
If you utilize bio-ethanol fuels that have been specifically formulated for your fire and you follow the safety instructions, your fireplace should be extremely safe to use.
Easy installation
Ethanol fires are a quick and easy solution for homeowners who wish to change the look of their living space or add a focal point to their home decor. There is no need for chimneys and they won't emit dangerous smoke. Soot won't accumulate on your walls or ceilings.
It doesn't matter if you choose a full fire suite - for example, Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at 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. It is all you have to do is sure that your wall or ceiling is sturdy and follow the directions for the model you pick.
The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the equipment needed to mount them like flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. It takes a professional about an hour to mount the brackets, extensions, and find the studs.
There is also the option of automatic or manual bio ethanol burners. The automated burner is designed to keep the fuel away from the flames, so that it will burn for longer without the danger of overheating or running out. A manual burner works similarly to an old-fashioned fireplace, but you'll require matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
It's important to remember that when choosing a bio ethanol burner, it must be covered with non-combustible materials. This will ensure that nothing touches the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could become too hot and damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those who want to create a striking feature in their home, but don't have the funds or time to build gas or wood fireplaces. They're the perfect choice for new homes and renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. Since they don't produce soot or ash, there are no maintenance issues to worry about also.
Styles and designs
Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in different styles and designs. Certain bio ethanol fireplaces sport the traditional wood-burning appearance, while others feature a sleek and modern design. Every type of fireplace offers the same advantages, regardless of the style and ambiance free of harmful gasses or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more portable and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models, on other hand, are anchored to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain clearance distances to avoid flammable materials.
The fire itself is created by a burner pan that is situated at the bottom of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into this pan, and the fire is ignited using a long lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their maximum potential. Once the fire is ignited, you can sit back and relax in your home's warm atmosphere.
Some ethanol fire places even provide heating settings that can be adjusted. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fire produces, which can be useful if you want to create more warmth rather than simply ambience.
Another benefit of ethanol-fueled fires is that there is no need for an chimney or flue. This makes them a great alternative for new homes or older homes without traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not produce any ash or harmful gases, which can be dangerous for those suffering from respiratory issues.
Installing bioethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. While the exact installation time depends on the model you choose however, the majority of them can be installed fairly quickly. You can also opt for a portable fireplace that you can carry with you if you ever relocate, which makes it a great option for a temporary living arrangement. The ease of installation is a crucial factor for many consumers, and it is something to consider when shopping for the perfect fireplace.
No flu
The major benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't require an exhaust pipe to run. There is no danger of a chimney fire caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create numerous particles that could cause harm to the air. This is a great thing for people suffering from asthma or allergies. Another advantage is that there is no smoke that is produced by the fire and, therefore, it doesn't cause a bad smell in the room.
Bioethanol fireplaces generate a large amount of heat compared to wood-burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture in close proximity to the fire without worrying about catching fire, which could be dangerous for your valuables.
If you choose to install a freestanding bio-ethanol fireplace there are different designs to choose from. You can pick one that is wall-mounted for an elegant, modern appearance or a recessed unit that blends into the design of your room.
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 burner will automatically light your fire once the tank is empty.
It is crucial to allow the flames to completely burn out and wait until the burner cools before refilling. In the event that you don't, the ethanol will evaporate and you'll have to start again.
The majority of manufacturers advise that you leave at minimum 45 minutes between refilling your fire so that you have enough time to extinguish the flames and ensure all flammable materials are away from the flame. To avoid any accidents, store any remaining fuel ethanol out of reach of pets and children.
Ease of maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio-ethanol fuel into the burner before lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates a flame and heat that can be controlled by the slider (not all designs feature this). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire you can change how quickly the fuel burns, and the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns it produces tiny amounts of soot, but this is easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other requirement is to ensure that the burner is topped up with the right fuel and ensure that it is kept away from any dangerous materials or objects.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install, and you don't have to worry 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 even choose a freestanding model that can be moved.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall with ease, and some models can be rotated by 180 degrees, allowing you to move the flame and heat to the desired location of your room. You can also mount a remote control onto some of the designs to take full control from the comfortable sofa.
Many of the bioethanol fireplaces that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets to allow them to be attached to a flat ceiling or sloped one. Installing the fireplace anywhere you like is possible, however, you'll still be able to use the remote control to turn off the fireplace and adjust the flame's height as well as set the temperature.
If you're not using your ethanol fire ensure that it is off and kept away from any flammable substances or other equipment. Don't pour any more fuel into the burner until the burner has reached the temperature of room temperature. Be cautious when handling it as it is very hot.
