Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are ideal for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere 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 use bio-ethanol fuel that has been specifically designed for your fire and you follow the safety instructions, your fireplace should be extremely safe to use.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fires are a quick and simple solution for homeowners looking to transform their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. They do not require a flue, and don't create dangerous smoke which means you don't need to worry about the build-up of soot on your walls or ceilings.
Whether you opt for an entire fire suite - like Mano Mano's Adam Solus Fireplace Suite in Oak with Colorado Bio Ethanol Fire in Black, available at PS569 - or a freestanding model that can be moved from room to room (such as the Planika Petit, PS191), installation is simple and does not require any assistance from a specialist. You only need to make sure that your wall or ceiling is sturdy and adhere to the directions of the model you choose.
If you decide to install an ethanol fireplace that is wall-mounted Most come with the necessary hardware to allow them to be mounted like a flat-screen TV or recessed into the wall. It will take an experienced professional approximately one hour to put in the brackets, extensions and find the studs.
There is also the option of manual or automatic bioethanol burners. The automated burner keeps the fuel away from the flames so that it can burn longer without the risk of overheating or consuming. A manual burner operates in the same way as a traditional fireplace, but you'll require matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
It's important to remember when choosing a bio ethanol burner, the burner must be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover the burner, the fire could overheat and damage the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are an excellent option for people who want to create a dramatic focal point in their home but don't have the funds or time to set up gas or wood fireplaces. They are great for new or renovated homes where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't generate soot or ash, which means there's no need for maintenance.
Designs and styles
Bio-ethanol fireplaces are available in various styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to look modern and sleek. No matter what style they all offer the same benefits: genuine flame ambience with no gas or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be mounted to the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models, on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and require special mounting equipment. They also have to meet certain clearance distances from flammable substances.
The fire is created by a burner pan that is located at the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan, and the fire is ignited using a long lighter. The process takes about 15 minutes to get the fire up to its full flame potential. Once the flames are set then it's time to relax, sit back and enjoy the warm ambiance of your home.
Some ethanol fire places have heat settings that can be altered. This lets you adjust the amount of heat that your fireplace generates.
Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don't require any chimneys or flues. This makes them a great option for older homes or modern homes that do not have chimney breasts or traditional fireplaces. A bio-ethanol fire does not emit harmful gases or ash that can be harmful to those who suffer from respiratory issues.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install inside your home. The exact installation time will depend on the model that you select. However, most models can be installed quickly. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace which can be taken with you if ever you relocate. This is a great option for temporary living arrangements. The ease of installation is a crucial factor for many people and is something that should not be ignored when shopping for an upgrade to your fireplace.
No flu
The major advantage bio ethanol fires have over traditional wood or gas fires is that they don't require an exhaust pipe to run. This means that there is no chance of chimney fires that could result from a build-up of tar or a blockage in the flue.
A bio-ethanol fireplace doesn't produce many particulates, which can harm the air. This is a great thing for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another benefit is that there is no smoke generated by the fire and therefore it doesn't create a bad smell in the room.
Bio ethanol fireplaces produce a large amount of heat when compared to wood-burning fires. This means that you can keep your furniture near the flame without worrying about catching alight which could be dangerous for any valuables.
There are a variety of designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can choose a wall-mounted model for a sleek, modern look or a recessed unit that will blend into the design of your room.
A burner that is either manual or automated is a different thing to think about. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic one will automatically light the fire when the tank is empty.
When you've finished using your bio ethanol fireplace, it is essential to let the flames completely go out and to wait until the burner has cooled before refueling. If you don't, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll have to start over.
The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes prior to refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to safely remove the flames, and remove any flammable materials from the fire. In addition, it's recommended to store any spare ethanol fuel somewhere out of reach of children and pets, to avoid any accidents from occurring.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces function by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. As the fuel burns, it creates an ember and heat that can be controlled by the slider (not all designs feature this). By altering how much oxygen is pumped into the fire, you can alter how fast the fuel is burned and how high the flame burns.
The soot produced by the fuel burning can be easily removed with an easy, clean cloth. The only other requirement is to keep the fireplace filled with the correct fuel and to ensure it's kept away from dangerous materials or objects.
Bioethanol fireplaces are simple to install and you don't have to worry about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to be very flexible in the design of your home and where you want to relax in the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt for an open-air model that can be moved.
Wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install, and certain models let you rotate the unit wall mounted fireplaces by 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the heat and flame towards the desired location of the room. You can even mount a remote control onto some of the designs to take full control from the couch.
To maximize versatility, a lot of the 'plug and play' wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are equipped with brackets that permit you to attach them to an unfinished or sloped ceiling. This allows you to place the fireplace wherever you like it, and be capable of turning the flame off or on, adjust the flame height, and adjust the temperature using the remote control.
When you're not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to turn it off and keep it away from any flammable items or materials. Do not add any fuel into the burner until the burner has reached room temperature. Be careful when handling it since it's extremely hot.
