Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are ideal for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room without the expense of construction or gas supply. They are also the safest 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 guidelines, your fireplace should be extremely safe to use.
Easy installation
Ethanol fires are a simple and easy solution for homeowners who wish to make their living spaces more attractive or create a focal point for their home decor. You don't need a chimney and they don’t produce dangerous smoke. The smoke won't build up on your ceilings or walls.
If you decide to go with the complete fire suite - for example, 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 does not require any assistance from a specialist. All you need to do is make sure that your ceiling or wall is strong and follow the directions of the model you choose.
If you choose a wall-mounted ethanol fireplace, most are supplied with the hardware that allows them to be either hung like a flat-screen TV, or recessed into the wall. It will take a professional about an hour to mount the brackets, extensions and locate the studs.
You can also choose between manual and automated bio ethanol burning equipment. The automatic burner keeps the fuel from the flames so it will burn for longer without the danger of overheating or consuming. Manual burners work similar to a fireplace, except that you will need matches or lighters to ignite the flames.
When choosing 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 comes into contact with the burning fuel. If you don't cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This can damage the
fireplace stove.
Ethanol fires are an excellent alternative for those looking to create a dramatic focal point in their home, but don't have the money or time to build gas or wood fireplaces. They're the perfect choice for new homes as well as renovations where chimney breasts have been removed. They don't produce soot or ash, so there's no need for maintenance.
Designs and styles
Bio ethanol fireplaces are available in a variety of styles and designs. Some have a more traditional wood-burning fireplace look, while others are designed to look sleek and modern. No matter what style the fireplaces all have the same benefits: genuine flame ambience without gas or smoke.
Ethanol fires can be mounted on the wall or freestanding. Freestanding models are more mobile and can be moved around the room according to what is desired. Wall-mounted models are attached to the walls and may require special mounting equipment. They must also comply with certain distances between flammable materials and the unit.
The fire itself comes from the burner pan, which is situated on the bottom of the fireplace. The fuel is poured into the pan, and the fire is then lit with an extended lighter. It takes about 15 minutes for the flames to reach their full potential. Once the fire is lit, you can relax and enjoy the warm ambience of your home.
Certain ethanol fire places offer temperature settings that can be adjusted. This lets you alter the amount of heat your fireplace generates.
Another benefit of ethanol
stone Fireplaces is that they don't require any chimney or flue. This makes them a great option for older homes as well as newer ones that don't have chimney fireplaces or traditional fireplaces. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not produce any ash or harmful gases that could pose a risk for people with respiratory problems.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also simple to install within your home. While the exact time to install depends on the model you select the majority can be installed relatively quickly. You can choose a portable freestanding fireplace that can be transported with you if ever you move. This is an ideal option for living arrangements that are temporary. The ease of installation is a key aspect for many buyers and is something that should not be overlooked when looking for an upgrade to your fireplace.
No Flu
The major benefit that bioethanol fires have over traditional gas or wood fires is that they don't need a flue in order to function. There is no danger of a chimney fire that is caused by tar accumulation or a blockage.
Bio-ethanol fireplaces don't create numerous particles that could affect the air. This is great for people suffering from asthma or allergies. The fire does not produce smoke, so it won't cause bad smell in the room.
Bioethanol fireplaces produce a large amount of heat compared to wood-burning fires. This lets you keep your furniture near the fire without worrying about it getting caught on fire, which could be dangerous.
If you decide to go with a freestanding bio ethanol fireplace there are options to pick from. You can pick an installation on the wall for a sleek,
modern fireplace look or a recessed one that will blend into the design of your room.
Another thing to think about is whether you would prefer either a manual or automatic burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir while an automated one will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.
When you're done using your bio-ethanol fireplace, it is important to let the flames burn out completely and to wait until the burner has cooled before refueling. If you don't do this, the ethanol might evaporate and you'll have to start over.
The majority of manufacturers suggest waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This will give you enough time to extinguish the flames, and to remove any flammable materials from the fire. To prevent accidents, keep any ethanol fuel that you have left out of reach of pets and children.
Ease of maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces work by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. The heat and flame produced by the burning fuel can be controlled with an adjustable slider. (Not all designs have this feature). By altering the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can adjust the speed at which the fuel burns and also how high the flame burns.
As the fuel burns it produces tiny amounts of soot, which can be easily cleaned by wiping the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is keeping the burner full of the correct fuel and ensuring that it is kept away from any flammable objects or supplies.
Bio ethanol fireplaces are also easy to install and you don't need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This gives you a lot of flexibility in designing your home, and where you want to sit and enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even opt to have a free-standing fireplace that you can move from room to room.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces can be installed on your wall easily, and certain models can be rotated by 180 degrees, allowing you to direct the flame and heat to the desired space of your home. You can even put remote controls on certain designs to take full control from the comfort of your sofa.
A majority of bioethanol
fireplaces electric that are mounted on walls are fitted with brackets that enable them to be fixed to a flat ceiling or sloped one. The fireplace can be installed wherever you like is possible, however, you can still 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 flame ensure that it is shut off and is away from any flammable materials or supplies. Don't pour any more fuel into the burner until it has reached temperatures that are at or near the level of ambient temperature. Be careful when handling it as it's extremely hot.
