Bio Ethanol Fireplaces
Ethanol fireplaces are great for adding a warm and cozy atmosphere to any room, without the need for expensive construction or gas supply. They are also the safest type of fire available.
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 safe to operate.
Installation is easy
Ethanol fires are a fast and simple solution for homeowners looking to transform their living space or create a focal point for their home decor. There is no need for a chimney and they don’t emit dangerous smoke. Smoke won’t linger on your ceilings or walls.
It doesn’t matter if you choose the complete fire suite – like 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 doesn’t require any expert assistance. All you have to do is make sure that the wall or ceiling is sturdy enough and follow the guidelines for the specific model.
The majority of ethanol fireplaces that are wall-mounted come with the equipment needed to install them as flat screen TVs or recess into the wall. You’ll need to locate the studs and fit the brackets and extensions however it should not take more than an hour for professionals to do it.
You can also select between automatic and manual bioethanol burning devices. An automatic burner keeps the fuel at a safe distance from the flames, which means it will burn longer without the risk of burning out or overheating. A manual burner works exactly the same way as a traditional fireplace, however you’ll require matches or a lighter to light the flames.
It’s important to remember when choosing a bio-ethanol burner, the burner should be covered with non-combustible material. This will ensure that nothing gets in contact with the burning fuel. If you do not cover your burner, it could cause the fire to overheat. This could cause damage to the fireplace.
Ethanol fires are an excellent option for people who want to create a dramatic feature in their home, but don’t have the funds or time to set up a wood or gas fireplace. These are ideal for new or renovated homes in which chimney breasts were removed. Since they do not generate soot or ash, there are no issues with maintenance or worry about.
Styles and designs
There are a variety of different styles and designs that bio-ethanol fireplaces come in. Some are more traditional in their fireplace design that burns wood, while others are designed to look modern and sleek. No matter what style they all offer the same benefits: real flames with no gas or smoke.
Ethanol fireplaces can be wall mounted. Freestanding models are more movable and can be moved around the room as desired. Wall-mounted models on the other hand, are fixed to the wall and may require special mounting equipment. They also must comply with certain clearance distances from flammable substances.
The fire is created through a burner pan, which is located in the middle of the fireplace. Fuel is poured into the pan and the fire is lit by a long 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 marble fireplaces come with adjustable heating settings. This lets you customize the amount of heat your fireplace produces, which is useful if you want it to provide more warmth than just ambience.
Another advantage of ethanol fireplaces is that they don’t require any chimney or flue. This makes them an excellent option for new homes or older ones that don’t have traditional fireplaces or chimney breasts. Additionally, a bio-ethanol fireplace does not generate toxic gases or ash which could be harmful for people with respiratory problems.
Installing bio ethanol fireplaces in your home is also easy. While the exact time to install will depend on the model you choose the majority can be installed fairly quickly. You can pick a portable freestanding fireplace that can be taken with you when you decide to move. This is an ideal option for temporary living arrangements. The ease of installation is a key factor for many people and is something that should not be overlooked when looking for an upgrade to your fireplace.
No Flu
The main benefit of bioethanol over traditional wood or natural gas fires is that they don’t require a chimney to function. There is no chance of a chimney fire that is caused by tar buildup or a blockage.
A bio ethanol fireplace doesn’t produce a lot of particulates that can damage the air, which is a great thing for those suffering from allergies or asthma. Another advantage is that there’s no smoke that is produced by the fire and, therefore, it doesn’t cause an unpleasant smell in the room.
Unlike a wood-burning fireplace, a bio ethanol fire doesn’t lose much heat up the chimney, so it can produce an incredible amount of heat for its size. This means that you can keep your furniture near the fire without having to worry about catching a flame, which could be dangerous for any valuables.
There are several designs available for a bioethanol freestanding fireplace. You can pick an installation on the wall for an elegant, modern appearance or a recessed one which will blend in with the design of your space.
Another thing to consider is whether you would prefer an automatic or a manual burner. A manual burner requires you to ignite the fuel directly from the reservoir, while an automatic one will automatically light your fire when the tank is empty.
It is important that you allow the flames to fully burn out and wait until the flame cools down before refueling. If you don’t, the ethanol might evaporate and you’ll need to start again.
The majority of manufacturers recommend waiting at least 45 minutes before refilling your fire. This gives you enough time to eliminate 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 prevent any accidents from happening.
Easy maintenance
Ethanol fireplaces operate by pouring bio ethanol fuel into the burner and lighting it. The heat and flame created by the burning fuel can be controlled using a slider. (Not all models have this feature). By adjusting the amount of oxygen that is fed to the fire, you can adjust the speed at which fuel burns and also the intensity of the flame.
As the fuel burns it produces a small amount of soot, which can be easily cleaned by wiping down the fireplace with a soft cloth. The only other thing to do is to keep the burner filled with the correct fuel and ensure that it’s not in contact with items or materials that are flammable.
Bioethanol fireplaces are easy to install and you don’t need to be concerned about chimneys or building codes. This allows you to be very flexible when designing your home and also where you would like to enjoy the warmth of your fireplace. You can even choose a freestanding fireplace that is portable.
Wall-mounted bio ethanol fireplaces are able to be incorporated into walls easily, and certain models can be turned 180 degrees, allowing you to focus the heat and flame to the desired space of your home. Certain models come with remote control that allows you to control the fireplace from the comfort of your couch.
For maximum flexibility, a majority of the plug and play’ wall-mounted bioethanol fireplaces come with brackets that let you connect them to a flat or sloping ceiling. This lets you place the fireplace wherever you want it, and be capable of turning it on or off, adjust the flame height, and adjust the temperature using the remote control.
When you’re not using your fireplace with ethanol, be sure to shut it off and keep it clear from any flammable objects or materials. Also, don’t add fuel to the burner until it has cooled down to room temperature and always be careful when handling the fire as it is very hot.
